My son Chad and I took the WE4 to the Stadium last night. Chad was driving all night and picked up an 8.18 time slip. I was helping out another friend with tuning issues. At the end of the meet we were changing tires and packing up to leave, when a buddy of mine told us they were handing out trophies for the night. Chad and I knew nothing of what he was talking about. I guess, at the end of the night, they give out a trophy for coming the closest to the faster limit of the class you signed up for at the beginning of the night. My friend dragged Chad over to the area where they were giving out trophies and they were just about to award the trophy to a girl with a new Mustang. My friend butted in and said, "What about this?" The awards person checked out the time slip and said, "Well, I guess they get the trophy." The girl was POd
. She stomped off kicking and hitting things. For safety reasons the awards fellow instructed another track official to make sure the girl didn't come back to the awards area. I suppose they didn't want a Post Office incident.
