I guess I'm somewhat ambivalent. Award ceremonies are fun for the participants so the HSCC dinner dance, or Masters or MRL whoever, are fun. Having some kind of historic "oscars" for the great and the good seems a bit irrelevant anyway.
I'm afraid I have this picture in my mind of an award for the historic racer of the year and upon receiving it Gordon S leaps into a tearful speech thanking "the world, his wife, Larkins, ...." I'll stop there before I have nightmares.
