Just go word that we lost Flash last evening....more details to come.

Rest in peace Flash. I will miss your smiling face. Every time I drive through the gate at a race I will see you there. You will be greatly missed my friend. Jim

Very well said Jim!

I saw Flash last year for the first time in probably fifteen years and while the Cadillac may have changed, he was the still the same personality. Glad I got to see and talk with him then...

RIP buddy...

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 !

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.
