Hey Mike - your Nitro 9 trail is pretty accurate. It went from Glidden to B & T to Velde. Then I bought it from a friend of Velde's in the midwest. I raced it once and broke the motor, but got it fixed with the help of Tom DeCamp. We raced it for a year and broke the motor again at the Popular Hot Rod race in Martin, MI.I Then I sold it to a guy named Robert Cornette in Kentucky. To the best of my knowledge it was never raced again in NHRA but I could be mistaken. It may have ended up in W VA. We were told it surfaced at a collector auction and brought big money. The Nitro 9 deal was with B & T and to the best of my knowledge there was only one. All I know for sure was that I did own it and sure wish I still did! lol
