Bill only ran a few races in 1976 because of the lack of money. The lack of money would haunt the Elliott's for the following 6 years after 1976. The Elliott's would have to get by with the little money that Melling gave them, and the money that they won.

8. Who was Bill's mentor in the mid to late 70's?

Answer: Benny Parsons

Benny told Harry Melling to give the Elliott's money, because Parsons knew that Bill would be good if he had the money and better equipment. Bill went to the next race, Atlanta, qualified 2nd, but finished 18th because of a clutch problem. The good qualifying effort opened Melling's eye up, and he told the Elliott's he would back the team for up with money the following season, in up to 12 races.
