When my kid raced Mini sprints @ Pike county speedway the feature winner was required to give the trophy to a kid in the stands. Which I thought was great ! Several years ago when the kid was racing 1/4 midgets we put his car in the local community car show. A guy I know had his nice custom 39 ? chevy sedan entered. Turned out him and the kid where in the same special interest class. My kid got first and he got second. That S.O.B. went stormin off cussing and threw the trophy in the trash. What really gets me is that guy didn't do one ounce of work on his car.
