Yeah I'm 6'5 and its really annoying to have to hunch over.

Our coach is 5' 0" and our drivers are both over 6'. She doesn't seem to have any problems because she's always moving to get the best view/angle. She dashes back and forth from the left to the right. The problem with using a stool or chair to step on is you are stuck in one spot and will probably crash during some intense moment. In previous years our coach was FIRST legal because she also weighs 120 on the button!

I'm a coach & I'm shorter than my drivers -- I stand beside them & yell really loud. They yell at each other too & if I'm behind them I can't hear what they're saying.

Exactly. I just go up to thier left. That way, I can get up in front of them and tell them where to go. You can't do that too easily from behind.
