Was talking to a current driver in a lower class racing series, the U-CAR class, and if you haven't heard of it the class it basically as close to traditional stock car racing as there is, the cars are your average street car, stripped interior, roll cage added, and maybe a racing seat if the driver can afford one and raced on DOT tires only. No performance parts or alterations are allowed.
So back to the story... This fella, I'll call Pine Cone, was telling me about his recent win at a nearby dirt track where upon winning in the UCAR class he pulled into the Winner's Circle, surrounded by crew, family and friends, the track photographer ready to take some shots of the winner and his trophy. As it turns out the track was fresh out of trophies for the 1st place star so, instead of giving Pine Cone a trophy, they gave him a nice big ripe watermelon. Boy, was he shocked to win such a prestigious prize and it wasn't even seedless.
Does anyone else have a story of winning anything other than a big shiny trophy in the winner's circle?
