Interesting Cobra Jet history. I used to hang around Brandon and Turnage with my dad when was a kid. The first of the two Nitro 9's is Donnie's car. Jeff Velde bought the second car when B&T got Glidden's pinto. Jeff bought the pinto and sold the second Nitro 9 at that point. I didn't know to whom he sold it. Maybe Jeff will chime in, but there were two of them. Jeff's must be the one that was seen at auction.......My car did come from the Dunahoos as Donnie Jr. said, and it was originally Jim Morgan's and was built by Ken Kier. I first saw the car in 1982 at the Gators right after Jim finished it. Never thought then that I would own it later down the road. Maybe I'll have my junk out to the track this year. I have not had time to work on it for a while. The .3 index change kinda gets me re-interested.
