RIP Jeff Velde
With a heavy heart! I just wanted to let everyone know that my uncle Jeff Velde passed away late last night after a long and hard fought battle with cancer. He touched a lot of people in the racing world and he will be truly missed! Rest in peace Jeffrey! When I get more info about the services I will post.

Re: RIP Jeff Velde
My condolences to the whole Velde family as Jeff was one of the first advertisers of my stats and even though he was advertising the dealership and knew it didnt do much good. He always supported the stats since day one, He took me through the dealership one time when i was down there staying over the winter, he was a great guy. RIP Jeff
Here was one of his latest projects i seen at Orlando this past spring.

Re: RIP Jeff Velde
So awfully sorry to hear this, Bret! Your Uncle Jeff was a very big part of the drag racing experience I had when I lived in Coral Springs, FL. I always had to smile every time I saw the trailer with "Velde Ford" painted on it, and I saw it a lot!
I hope he's at peace now. My condolences and prayers for you and your family. Lew Silverman (ex-Horsepower Sales of S. Florida employee)
