Yes, you heard right, 900 trophies all won by Trendell for 21 years of go-cart endurance racing. Trophies line his windows, the floors in his rec-room, tables set up especially for his wins are filled, corners of his home have piles of them and still many are packed away in boxes because there is no room for them. . All of different sizes, shapes and colors, the trophies were all won by Trendell for position finishes.

Trendell says the one trophy that he takes the most pride in is the first one he ever won. He says the trophies he won at the Grand National Championship where he finished 9th is also one he takes great pride in because it was the largest number he ever competed in his class, B Stock. Out of 80 competitors coming 9th would be something to take pride in. Being invited to the Grand National Championships is an honor in itself since anyone entering can do so by invitation only and Trendell has been in- vited for the past 10 years. The International racer has been on CTV for a Sports Unlimited Talk Show, he has also made two, half-hour aS am movies on racing, on CBC Trendell also appeared in a half-hour movie and a half-hour talk show. He has also been interviewed by television stations in the United States. Trendell's fame does not stop on television.
