Title: Parnelli Jones
Post by: deathsled on June 15, 2018, 11:23:28 PM
Does anyone have any information on how to get in touch with Parnelli Jones for an autograph?  I've tried a couple times in the past to get an autograph on a picture of his 1969 trans am car but it came back address not found.  Any guidance is appreciated.

Not according to wikipedia.  He's 84 and still has racing fuel in his blood.

I overdosed on eBay last night and bought a signed photo of him and also the updated Boss 302 book by Donald Farr and signed by Farr and Jones. I got my fix. I would have liked to meet Jones and shook his hand though. I will definitely get to Indy next year. No excuse not to. Thanks!

Every year at the Indianapolis 500 he signs or has the past 5 years or so on Legends Day (Saturday) limited to only a 150 people.

Two of my heroes in one shot. I got Parnelli and AJ's autograph at a USAC Sprint show about 50 years ago.
