Not as a youth, but as an adult I sat in quite a few. One time I got to sit in Hoop Shiables 95 at a Fair. Oh my God, you could probably fit 6 full grown adults in it. There were giant rust holes in the floor. I've been lucky enough to sit in 2 Grant Kings and two Weld cars thanks to good friends that owned them. I just visited the EMMR Museum last week and sat in Lynn Paxton's sprinter. Many years ago Flemington Buick had Don Garlit's Swamp Rat dragster on display. They said climb in, so I did. There was a problem though, Don was a small man. I got in and couldn't get out of it. Two mechanics from the garage had to come and lift me out . Great memories from a life time that seems to be going by too fast.
