You never forget the first time you see this race car run.
Pop Lloyd had put together something special and you just knew it, and
Smokey was just the guy to drive it. After many years of watching certain
drivers get really "Hooked up " , coming off a turn, they would pull the
LEFT front wheel off the track. When the #56 got "Hooked up" it had so much
cross weight , it raised the RIGHT front wheel off the track. If you notice
the little wing on the front, it's only over the right front wheel. This
fine piece of machinery can be seen at the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing in
all of it's glory. |

I took a ride with Bob Gibb one day to Pop Lloyd's shop to
pick up parts. Pop was a super nice guy and did a shop tour for Bob and
myself. Pop had so many great stories about Smokey, some where down right
funny. Pop was a wealth of information. I am glad I took that ride to meet
Pop
The Pocket Rocket was trashed heavily at Port Royal Speedway with Frank
Fiore driving after breaking and axle. There is video of it on youtube by
Johnny Strawser AKA jstrawse youtube handle. The car was rebuilt and is
shown on vintage meets. Very cool car back in the 80's. |

inboard hydroplane divisions for many yrs. |
