Default Anybody have any history on these guys?

Lloyd Bray & D.G. Gillam from the OK City or Tulsa area. First saw this duo in Wichita late '70s early '80s. At the time, they were running a 68 1/2 Cobra Jet Mustang (I think it may have been one of the original 50 from Ford. I remember looking @ the odometer and it read like 3.5 miles). If I remember right they raced in SS/F with a number of 4406. In the '90s, they were running an '83 Mustang in SS/GT still running a stick. I only saw them race once or twice, but for some reason the duo made an impression on me. Maybe it was the Mustang connection. I was living and breathing them back then. Maybe it was the white jumpsuits they wore while they were @ the track. They were old school before there was old school.

Thanks, Brian

I think Lloyd may have passed by now. He was in a nursing home and in really bad shape last I heard. I have seen Don (DG) this past year. Still had the shop going last I heard. He had a later model Mustang with a big engine running a GT class. They are from Bartlesville, which is about 30 miles or so north of Tulsa on hw 75.

I believe I took that photo at the Winternationals in Pomona.
The Camaro is a Division 7 car, as you can see...

Lloyd has not passed. He is still in a nursing home and has suffered some serious health problems.

Thanks for the correction Mike. I will retract my R.I.P. and throw in some prayers for good measure.
