This is way off the subject of roadsters but----
The wildest "additional seat" I ever saw was at the 12 hour in Sebring. The
infield for the 12 hour is really a 2 or 3 day party for a lot of crazy
people who really don't care that a race actually goes on around them.
Imagine an early to mid 60s Cadillac sedan (big boat of a thing) with the
top cut off with a hack saw. Grafted on to the body was a 25 foot high
flying bridge from a 30 to 40 foot sport fisher.
It was set up so that it could be driven from the flying bridge. All nights
it dove around with a big "show us your t_ _ _" sign on the side of the car.
Many sweet young (drunk) damsels did. (Maybe that's why I followed him
around all night.)
During the next day I was "welcomed aboard" to look at the controls. What a
Rube Goldberg. I never got in front of him again.
I told you it was off the subject.

Nice safe seat!!!!!! I have some "friends" I'd like to put in that seat and
then jam on the brakes at 60 or so!!!!!!!! I guess I'd find out if man can
fly.
