If you think you picked the biggest pumpkin at the patch, think again. A Connecticut man just set a local record for the heaviest pumpkin at the Topsfield Fair in New England.

The winner of the All New England Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off is 2,294.5 pounds.

To put that in perspective, one of the lightest cars on the market, the Mitsubishi Mirage, . Seeing a Mirage rolling down the highway is a lot less alarming than watching a 2,294.5-pound pumpkin roll by, of course.

The mountainous pumpkin has some fierce competition. Worldwide, the Guinness World Record for heaviest pumpkin from Belgium and his 2,624.6-pound pumpkin.

The man behind this particular whopping weigh-in is Alex Noel from Pomfret, Connecticut. He snagged a $8,519 prize for winning the competition.

“I’ll sleep better tonight than I have in 18 years,” Noel .

Perhaps we can all sleep a little better knowing that Noel’s award-winning squash is safe and sound in its own enormous pumpkin-sized house in the fair’s Fruit and Vegetable building.

New Englanders can drop by to see all the monstrous winners of the fair’s Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off through Oct. 14.
