Knowing Lloyd as I have over the years, I agree with Billy Nees. He was a fine man and a fine human being.
God Bless You Lloyd.

Lloyd was the most genuine and honest person I've known. He has gone out of his way to help me countless times over the years. I still can't believe it. We just spoke on the phone last week. His generosity, knowledge, and unwillingness to ever stress about anything will be greatly missed. Lloyd had that ability to talk to anyone for just a few minutes and make them feel like they knew him forever, so I can imagine how many feel the way I do right now. I'm glad for all the time he made to hang whenever he was in NJ after moving to Vegas. Our condolences go out to Monica and Donald as well as all his friends.

This is from Bernie Cunningham. He doesn't have internet access on the road.

Racers and friends alike, we have lost a good man in Lloyd MacKay.

He was a great person and a fantastic friend that would do anything for
anybody, and I do mean all of that. Very rarely does one pass that possesses
Lloyd's kindness, integrity, and awareness of life, in additon to his love of people,
cars, business, and racing.

He's going to be sorely missed by me and all of the people that he has touched
through both business, racing and pleasure. His biggest friends came from
the racing community. Many don't know that Lloyd has raced most of his life
because he was a friend of the late Jim "Happy" Harrington. He was very well
known around the division one area because he often drag raced two to three
times a week.

In the last few years, it's been my pleasure to have him race my spare car, both
in Stock, and most lately in Super Stock. His desire to win a NHRA national event
was feverish, and I so dearly wished he had accomplished that in my car before his
untimely departure from our presence.

His life since moving to Las Vegas with his wife Monica and son Donald was
going very well. He had a very big plans for setting up his stamp business
better than ever, investing in the local real estate market, and housing his
extensive car collection. Everything was looking very bright. I can't begin to tell
you how much he was loving life.

I plan to commemorate him this weekend by parking his car at the back of the
staging lanes as a sign of the 'missing man.' Furthermore, I'm working with
NHRA for a tribute lap down the track before first round with all of the
Stock and Super Stock racers and his wife and son present. Toby made us a
tribute flyer that I will have printed and hand out to racers to put inside
their cars for this weekend. For those that knew this wonderful man, please
help us celebrate his life.
