I hear what you're saying Waz but I suppose what I had in mind was something special, a contemplative moment at the conclusion of the track activities on the Sunday.
Most people would have had their fill of track action by then, and at that time a request could be made for silence in the pits for the running of a tribute lap and one car sets off...sort of like a minute's silence so people can reflect on Carroll Shelby's life, except that in our case it will be a minute's noise, that special sound of a big block Cobra, the sound that means so much to all of us gathered there...almost like the Last Post at an Anzac Day dawn service or the Lone Piper's lament at the conclusion of the Edinburgh Tattoo.

One car, one lap, dusk, the end of the Nationals, the end of an amazing life....awesome.
But whatever the committee comes up with to honour the life of this exceptional man, it will reflect the respect in which we hold him, no doubt.
