Congrats.

now at the next show, find some young kid with his or her eyes wide open at all the cool cars and before you leave the show hand that trophy to them..

​​​​​​it'll mean the world to that kid and save you the trouble of having it lay around until you realize it's good for nothing but collecting dust lol.

Congratulations Eric, I know it's a good feeling.

Now that 16/C7Z said this it makes great sense. I never thought of that, and mine are in the closet. I'm gonna start looking for that right kid to give them too now. The smile on the kids face will be more than enough for me.
