I did not know Lloyd well but he was always a very enthusiastic car guy.
He was usually at my local track racing something or with someone that was driving a car he owned or was a partner on. That goes back many years.

He had a real clean '69 Nova Stocker in the mid 1990's and I said to myself one day if he sells that car, I'm buying it......I did. He delivered it to my place. I Raced it a couple years and even raced Lloyd at the Dutch Classic the first year. He had his Buick.....

10 years later I had an LT-1 firebird I put together and decided to sell it. Lloyd called me from Pomona about it......Showed up at my house a short time later with a trailer hot to buy it and take it home. That was just not possible right on the spot so I told him I'd deliver it and everything I had for it and did.

He had a garage full of cars and and car memorabilia.....He had a lot of Class winner Wally's on shelves......2 walls worth....

He was a very interesting guy to say the least......usually pretty quiet but always a good guy.

It was a shock to learn of his passing........

That's a very interesting photo. The gentleman in the rear resembles someone that I raced with in D3 over two and a half decades ago.

To say that Lloyd was an interesting guy is an understatement ! He was truly unique. I got to know Lloyd and become friends with him through another very special person, Mike Scott. Mike was one of my best friends and Lloyd became one as well. He was a perfectionist to the T. I had him do an interior for me that required special leather material. He said it would take a long time to find the correct stuff and he wouldn't do the job till he found it. Took almost 3 years but the job turned out to be show stopping !!! Not long after he bought his V6 Firebird he set the record with the car at Maple Grove and I helped him with his teardown and unknown to me he put my name and Mike Scott's on the record certificate. He was really a great "car guy". He was also a world renowned Stamp collector and dealer as well as having one of the most complete Hot Wheels collection known to exist. He was a very savvy businessman but in the end he was just a great friend !!! RIP, Lloyd.
