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.

We were shocked and saddened by the news, when we heard at the
track this afternoon. Lloyd was a real class act and a true gentleman....
and a excellent racer.

Prayers being sent for his family!

Lloyd was a class act. He was kind, always with a nice thing to say and a positive attitude. I always admired his racing combinations and willingness to try something different.

Bernie, that would be great if you could make that happen.

Today in honor of Lloyd we will eat at Steak and Shake.
Those who knew him best will understand.

RIP my friend.
