Again, I am not diminishing the OP's trophy at all - kudos to him for it. I just see it as I see it.....
Seems to me pretty simple. Guy takes a car to cruise in. Someone was nice enough to spend money on trophies to recognize the owners of the cars that the people in charge of judging like-and they give that owner a trophy for showing up. Who knows what category it was? Maybe it was the newest stock car in the show? Who cares? The OP made a spur of them moment decision to go hang with other automotive types-the powers to be gave him a trophy for who cares what reason-OP had a great time and I bet he goes back! How does it get any better? Congrats! and keep having a great time and bring home more of those trophies!
