OK, I wasn't going to tell this one, but,,,,
It was the Topeka National back in the mid 90's.
I went to teardown to help a fellow racer, so I wasn't around during the time that everyone in our pit area had begun to "pop a top". When I did get back there just about everyone was wasted, I mean there were people just laying around their trailers, Lloyd was making Margarita's. He had the trunk open on John Cooper's Fairlane with his blender in there and a generator running the darned thing. Grinning from ear to ear and just making the hell out of those drinks, he looked at me and said "Jeeeum, its just unbelievable keeeeud, we have already went through toooowo whole bags of iiiiiice." You would just have to have experienced being around Lloyd to appreciate the humor in his voice and mannerisms, but all of you on here that know him like I do can just imagine.......
That old guy had more fun at the races than just about anybody I ever met.
"DeeGee!,,,,did you see that???????
