Who is the driver and co-driver for the Tommy Gun Rally Team?
The driver for the Tommy Gun Rally Team is Eli Gilbert and the co-driver is Mindy DeLodder. (back to top)

What do the people’s names and flags on the back window mean?
These are the names of the team in the car.  On the driver’s side window, the driver is on top, the co-driver on bottom.  The opposite is true on the co-driver’s side.  This is so spectators and officials can quickly surmise who is in the car.  The flag is the home country of the competitors.

What does a Tommy Gun have to do with rallying?
For starters, they’re friggin’ cool.  We see the Tommy Gun as an icon that stands out, something that inspires emotion.  Something that shouts without saying a word. (back to top)

We hope to win the 2008 NASA RallySport United States Rally Championship (Open Class). (back to top)
