The Willie Quattlebaum Award for Worst Event of the Year

I cannot shake the thought of Cody Dinsmore's Tuesday night Georgia Racing History segment featuring the Columbus SuperSpeedway and the race promoted by Willie Quattlebaum that drew no fans or drivers -

Willie Quattlebaum tried to reopen the track in 1960 with amateurs, but no one showed neither fans nor racers. So Super Speedway at the corner of Victory Drive and Lumpkin Road went the way of all race tracks, as it became a shopping center.

I have been thinking perhaps RacersReunion could give an annual award to the event with the worst field and fewest fans. The promoter might be given a wedge of brie cheese disguised as Lemon Meringue pie, since the promoter will be recognized for the lemon event of the year.

I note that there are still influential Quattlebaums in Columbus, Georgia, so the award might have to be called the Brie Award to avoid offending the Quattlebaum family.

What do you think?

The award.... probably should be presented by Bopper

Be prepared to buy several cakes of cheese there could be a 15 way tie. just saying..

If we do a retrospective award, the 1971 award should go to the Springfield, IL NASCAR Grand American race promoter as documented in the story posted by Dennis Andrews on the NASCAR Grand American Series club site.

I might beeligible for that award for last year's Columbia Event.But the ones of us who attended should receive some sort of bravery award (or stupidity still not sure which applies)...thinking of the sides of that huge tent flopping in the 60mph winds and rain.
