You are absolutely correct... witnessed it myself the first time in '91. THAT was a goose-pimple moment "Back Home Again" and the release of the ballons. It was magical.
The following year I took my Dad... and son. My son and I still talk about it to this day... my Dad talked about it until his passing in '05.
One of my bucket list items is to go to the Daytona 500 BUT... and although i'll love it, it won't have, I don't think, the majesty of the Indy and Jim Nabors. - JamesJM
