Do those races have any cash prizes, Cosmos?
How about the one you were just in, Bluemaxx?
On this particular weekend it was strictly amatuer...nifty little trophy. I do believe contingency money is avalable from some sponsors if you carry their sticker into victory lane, though I am no expert in the sponsorship / prize rules of SCCA racing.

quote:Originally posted by Bluemaxx I once saw (at the 24 hour race at Daytona) a crew of spectators roll an empty VW Beetle into a tee-pee shaped from 3 couches on their ends. Filled the VW with fire wood and torched it. The blames had to be 30-40 feet high...unbelievable! Hurley Haywood got all mad because the smoke was covering the track in the Turn 4 banking. I loved it because it was 35 degrees out and there were alot of drunk women all around me!  About 25 years ago, Jimmy, the best man at my wedding, got hit by a police car on the track at the Daytona 500. They then proceeded to arrest him. I think that he was blotto drunk. I heard that there were some wild times in the infield before, during and after the 500 back in the day. Is it still like that?
