Default C6 Ray

I just checked the calendar and it's been a year since we lost Ray. I'm sure we all miss a character and great guy.

Thanks LA STIG for reminding all of us of the passing of Ray and Lloyd last year. I don't remember meeting Lloyd, I might have if he came to The Block.

We all remember Ray and still miss him! He was that type of guy you took to.

For you Ray and Lloyd.

Can someone post pictures of Ray and Lloyd please.

I met Ray before. He was kind enough to run a part I needed from RPM to me at Buttonwillow Raceway so I could make a race that afternoon.

God speed Ray and Lloyd.

Ray and Lloyd were wonderful men. I had the pleasure of knowing both of them. They were both friendly and very nice. They are missed. We did a remembrance of them on the last run.
