A very interesting read Scott, thank's for posting it. And it is also interesting to me as well that the late JD McDuffie was never mentioned during Sunday's race at WGI, the same event that he lost his life at 15 years ago.

Here is a link to a great tribute to JD:

Good call on JD open. Funny how they only remember certain people in racing. JD died in a crash at the Glenn and is forgotten but Richman died of questionable means, for back then anyway, and he gets remembered. Maybe if JD had drove for a big name like HMS he would be remembered also. He may not have won, but he was always there supporting the sport and not causing trouble. May they both rest in peace.

Here's a link to his career stats: http://racing-reference.info/driver?id=mcdufj.01
