I drove against Gordon in Formula Ford. Remember him well.... first person
in SCCA racing that I saw with good looking girls caring an umbrella for him
as he strolled the paddock. He was a great guy and a hellva driver. I lived
in Memphis at the time and we were friendly competitors most race weekends.
I remember running in 3 rd in my Titan MK 6 (see on my web site) one weekend
and he lapped me, & I thought I was fast. I remember he drove with Quick
Silver sponsorship. Let me know if you want to talk.
