I agree totally Jack. I ran a few events in 94 & 95 in a FV with HSR.
Twice I placed high enough to be awarded a medal (2nd both times). I
didn't even stay to pick them up. The fun of racing and the atmosphere
were all I was looking for in return for the money and time I put out.
Awards are for the people who need their egos stroked.
