Default Re: Who has raced the same car the longest time

Hi Mike. I have a story to add to your AMX, and also a question about a CJ Mustang in relation to Lisa Buckingham's story.

Dad found a photo of your car from 1971 Indy, and an entry from that years Entry List. SS/D AMX, green, driven by Herb Mecklin of Columbus, sponsored by Bill Swad motors. I'm guessing this is the car you have now?

The one '68 Nitro 9 Mustang SS/F, owned/driven by Jeff Velde. The story we thought we knew, it was originally owned/driven by Bob Glidden, became the Nitro 9 of Brandon and (Gene) Turnage, then went to Velde, then ended up in Fairmont WV and was raced by Steve Retton. This may have been the car that Ms Buckingham referenced in her post, ending up at auction? I guess there was also a second Nitro 9 Mustang that is now Blair Patricks? Again, if we have falso info, we apologize.
