To Ricky Smallwood (ModelcarMan) & Joyce Lankford –
I just wanted to let y’all know that I got your mission(s)
accomplished Saturday (yesterday) morning via
hand-delivery of the Oldest Driver Trophy and
hand-crafted model of Gordon’s #123 Ford Torino
Late Model to Gordon Lee.
As you were aware, Gordon & his wife Pat were
looking forward to attending Blast II a week ago
but an unplanned event interrupted their plans
at the last minute and they couldn’t come.
Then of course y’all entrusted me to deliver the goods
which I was able to do yesterday at a weekly gathering
of a partial representation of the Largo Mafia which the
Lees and yours truly attended.
Need not I tell you Gordon was duly impressed by
both gifts and was very tickled to receive them.
Here are a few shots of the event for the record.
I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the
pics but remember, I’m a dirt guy,
not a photographer.
