Re: RIP Jeff Velde
Jeff Velde was as good as they get. He fought the illness just like he raced. He never gave up, and he always did his best at everything he did. He was a major inspiration for me as a young boy. I remember well when he bought the NItro 9 car and put Velde Ford on the car. He was dominant then, and had a string of good race cars after that. More important than the cars was the way he conducted himself. Always a gentleman, and someone to look up to. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Pat and the girls, Bret, and the whole family. Rest in peace, Jeff Velde.

Re: RIP Jeff Velde
Please accept my condolences.
Even though I'm not a Ford guy, for some reason his car stood out at some of the races I attended years ago, like the Turkey Trots in Orlando, FL. RIP |

Re: RIP Jeff Velde
As Jeff Colvert said, when I was young I idolized the Velde SS/F car. That car and my father's experience with FE's were the reason I got into Cobra Jet cars. Bought my first one in 73 and still own it. Anyway over the years I got to know Jeff pretty good. He would always go out of his way to say hello to me. I will always remember him as being just a great person. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
