This is a devastating loss to the sport that we all love. Not only was Tony a great, great driver, that was almost unbeatable at times. He also had an amazing persona. He had a star quality about him. Just about every time you saw this guy, you saw that big smile of his. You could tell, he really liked being just exactly who he was and always drew a crowd where ever you saw him. And he handled that part of being a star, with class and gratitude on a similar level as Chuck Amati. And if you know me very well, a One Armed Bandit comparison is about as much praise as I can give to someone. RIP, Tony Elliott.
