Any word on tribute cars that may be at Indy? It's always a treat when these show up. My fave is still the Sox & Martin entry of Bob Panella (see above avatar).

God Speed Ronnie...

You're right John, Indy is always the best place for one-off cars. One of my favorites was at the 50th (there were several one-offs at the 50th US Nats!). The car driven by Aussie Dave Grubnic, sponsored by Stanley, and painted to resemble a section of a yellow steel tape measure was one of the most clever ones. Another great one was Mike Ashley's FC from last year at Indy. Anyone else have any favorites?

So far I have seen Beckman will have a MTS salute to the troops body and Ashley Force will have her pink ROY body.

Other than the ones listed above, havent heard of anything new for this year yet.


Some ones from the past I liked were Conolly's "Grumpy's Toys" tribute and Gilbertson's "Jungle Jim" tribute

Bob Tasca 3 Will have one of these - JDRF Funny Car Contest : Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International

This is a great idea. I have a couple friends that have children that were diagnosed with JD at less than 5 years of age. Granted, there are worse things to have to live with, but I sure wouldn't wish JD on anyone.

One of my favorite tribute cars was Gilby's Jungle Jim car. I don't think that he ran that at Indy though. Wasn't it Dallas back in about '02 or so?

That is incredible! I hope this gets some airtime to call attention to a disease that is reaching epidemic levels. Literally millions of children and adults have diabetes and don't know it!

I'm Type 2 and very fortunate that it is easily controlled - have friends who are not so lucky. No doubt who I will be rooting for at Indy - go get four rounds of airtime B3 ! -

I think Bob Tasca should think about doing a tribute to the old Mystery Mustangs from Tasca Ford, just a plain burgandy car with the white side inserts and Mystery 4 on the rear quarters!!
