This coming Sunday, August 19, 2007, marks the 32th anniversary of the tragic death of Mark Donohue. For those that don't know, Mark was one of the greatest drivers to ever don a racing suit, and he won races in many different aspects of motorsports. He was a very successful driver in the Trans Am series, winning championships in both Chevrolet Camaros and AMC Javelins. He is also a local, as he was born in Summit NJ, and is also buried there. So, this weekend when you fire up that Camaro, remember Mark. I know when I climb behind the wheel of my Javelin this weekend I will try to drive it in a way that would make Mark proud.
