Bad idea. I've trophied a lot more times than I've been in the top three!!!!
I simply tell people that "x" people were faster than me and I was faster
than "4.7x" people in my class.
or "32 people (including 2 women) were faster than me overall" but "I was
faster than 1040 people overall"
Yes it "pays" to compete in a Mod car!
Seriously, due to the nature of our sport, I think the goal of "trophying"
is worthwhile. 3 Podium finishes are fine for lots of racing, but for us
the "trophy payout" works fine.
