Actually, 97 I have to disagree with you on this one. It's been 10 years........time as long past letting go. Any fan of JD McDuffie will remember.......EVERY time Nascar runs at Watkins Glen. If it were last year or maybe the year before then maybe you have a valid point (or gripe or whatever). JD will be remembered by his fans and people like me who saw that race for as long as they live, but we don't have to "celebrate" that sad and depressing event at specific intervals......one year, two year, five year, ten year, twenty-five year!! It's not like some joyous event that we should celebrate every chance we get. Anyone can say a little prayer for the McDuffie family each and every year (or whenever the desire strikes) that Nascar runs Watkins Glen......I know I think of him every year. We don't need the enthusiasm, joy and fun dampened by such remembrances. I'm a die hard Dale Earnhardt fan........expected the fanfare this last Daytona race about his parting and I'm sure there will be more next February too. But, after that I expect it to pass.........let it be.
Just my thoughts.
