Velde
 

Rob, After i posted the question to you i Google searched Jeff Velde. Mr. Velde passed in 2012,he was inducted in to the Drag Racing Hall of Fame in 2008. He grew up in Ill. but moved to Florida when he and his father bought a Ford dealership there.
I watched him race many times at Beach Bend in Div.3 points meets and the Sportsnationals.He was always a top contender in each event.

Great pics! Thanks for posting!

The car with “Velde Ford” on the fender is Bill Hawk’s Shelby; pretty sure it’s a real car. The red “Shelby” is Ryan Horensky’s build from a notchback. Tu-tone blue ‘69 Camaro is John Gray’s former “LeBrun Engineering” car that is a killer on the circuit. Green ‘69 Camaro is Broadbent Brother’s many time record holder and always a late round threat. Marten’s record holder always a tough one! I know Hendrick Motorsports helps MacNeish with camshafts, but not sure on entire builds; that’s not who usually builds his mills. Jim B.’s “Gold Diggers” are always front of the pack favorites and show car quality….
Great pics Rob!!!

Eddie and Leon Miranian’s “Watergate Exxon” Corvette is one fast car! I had him in 2nd round at Mason Dixon last year and all I saw was tail lights. DeMarzo’s Nova always a threat to win class and eliminator. White Chevelle is Katie Sepanek’s ride out of “Sepanek Racing Transmission” stable. Low compression 350 that rocks.
