It's been 25 years since I've even looked at what I have, I just may have to dig out the box(es) and see what else I have....Maybe a lead as to who took the trophy home, or who built it........

Great stuff there Bill!
I spent time searching online some months back to no avail. Figured ‘someone' might know, yet not much online!
The Gumball Rally changed my life for the better. It was my first view of a Cobra and I was determined to have one.
Our niece, on my wife’s side, lived with us 5 summers and many weekends in the school year when she’d lost her parents. She was then lost in a tragic car accident at age 16.
Our family had been fond of swimming with sea turtles in Hawaii. Her cousin honored her by getting a turtle tattoo with our niece’s thumbprint pattern as the turtle shell.
Fast forward over a decade…Last year my wife began having positive, heartfelt dreams of wave after wave of sea turtles frolicking all around her at the seashore in the sun. It made her think fondly of our niece.
That same week I bought the Gumball Rally so I could finally watch it ‘at will’. I’d seen it many times before. My wife loves the Cobra, and this was the first time for her watching the movie. We had a great time watching it together.
At the end, the Cobra reigned victorious and they showed the trophy. Our jaws dropped and we just sat there in awe, rewinding several times, both our eyes locked on the crown jewel of our Cobra relationship. The turtle atop the Gumball trophy, of course, a golden turtle.
All the times I’d watched that movie before, I’d never once noticed any turtle. Life was aligned at this point and the Cobra was meant to be. Now I get to spend freely on it and not look back! ☺
Long story short, if that trophy ever presented itself, I’d gladly be in the running for it. I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’d love to present that to my wife, I think it would be very meaningful to her.
That’s my turtle story…
