"A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold"

Proverbs 22:1

I'd say Tony exemplified this verse.

Thanks for posting video. Tony always had that smile. When I think of Tony I remember at Terra Haute he was selling electric scooters when they were the craze. I was looking at them and talking with him about the scooters when he told if I didn't have the money at that time to go ahead and take one anyway and I could pay him later, they were around $300-400. I was amazed that he would do that not knowing me and questioned him about trusting a complete stranger like that and his response was " I can always trust a race fan". That was Tony a very likeable guy and especially good race driver. RIP my friend.

Thank you ever so much for posting this "Crankin"

Tony Elliott was truly an amazing Racer, Family man and a personal friend.
The Tribute shows the many talents he brought to our lives.
We are ALL going to miss him dearly with his final send off tomorrow morning.

Godspeed Tony to that racetrack in Heaven.
