From Mike Crutchfield, D2 Rep:

It saddens me to have to tell you one of our Division 2 family has past away.
(Flash) Gordon Jones a member of our Division 2 Team was airlifted to Atlanta hospital over the weekend after he was found in his room unconscious from what appeared to be a stroke.
Flash has been with NHRA D2 for several years and would try to accommodate everyone with the best parking spot available. He also was very good at getting cars paired up and ready for racing.

Thats a terrible shame, he was a good one ! RIP Flash !

Re: Prayers for Flash
 

In the early 90s Gatornationals, we would leave the track on a Friday nite and drive to Daytona to party with the spring breakers. He would come to New Orleans and party with us and I would have to drive his 67 caddie convertible to Houston because he was hung over.

He lived for today and he damned tomorrow. He died way too young. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear this. Was Flash at the Atlanta race this past weekend? I'm not sure who he is.

Re: Prayers for Flash
 

True lover of the sport...and all the racers and crew...made you smile everytime you were around him....will miss our friend but his memory will remain in our hearts.

Re: Prayers for Flash
 

Yes Darrin, he was there. He normally works the parking and pairing in the back of the lanes. But I wasn't there to know what he was doing.

Greg

Re: Prayers for Flash
 

He was wearing a white hat when I saw him this weekend. He was standing at the pit gate when I got there thursday morning. I only met him that one time. He seemed like a really nice guy.

Re: Prayers for Flash
 

I think I know the guy your talking about Greg. My dad and I were just talking about him this past weekend. He always took care of us D4 racers. If he was buddy's with you and Thriller now I know why! Never knew his name. So sorry to hear that he passed.

Re: Prayers for Flash
 

This is really sad news. Making everyone happy is impossible at the race track, but Flash came as close as anyone ever has.

Not only was he very good at his job. but he was famous to us as the guy who knew where to eat. It didn't matter which track it was, he always knew of the hole in the wall with great food.

He will be missed and long remembered.
