Bill > SCR0047

This concurrent resolution memorializes Lynn Reid, a significant figure in racing history from Logansport, Indiana, who dedicated much of his life to motorsports. The resolution highlights Reid's notable career, which began after his Vietnam War service and included working in Indy 500 garages, serving as a chief mechanic for racing teams, and building cars, including a vehicle for actor Paul Newman's movie "Winning". The resolution emphasizes Reid's passion for racing, which he passed on to his son Boston, who competed in various NASCAR series, and notes Reid's later business venture of establishing Kokomo Honda in 1975 as one of the first Honda franchise owners in America. During his retirement, Reid remained active in the racing community as a vintage sports car driver, and was widely respected for his extensive automotive knowledge. The Indiana General Assembly honors Reid's contributions to racing and memorializes him following his passing in April 2024, directing the Secretary of the Senate to transmit copies of the resolution to Senator Jim Buck.
