Bret

Here are a few shots of your uncles "nitro nine" mustang....

I am not sure who owns the mustang in the last photo.... but I was told that it was Jeff Velde's old mustang...

Possible former Velde mustang ??? (see next pic below)....

Tom,

Those pic's will bring back some memories. After Jeff sold the car to Bruce, he started to build another 68 and had the cage and chassis done, before he sold it and bought the pinto that ran B/FX. That last picture might be that car. I might be wrong but I don't think it's the Nitro 9 car. Nitro 9 had hood pin's. That car doesn't have them and the rear quarter reflecter lights are the inside the fender ones while Nitro 9 had the outside the fender bolt on ones. If I get some more info I let you guy's know. It's great to see these old pic's, we had a lot of fun at the races back then.

The bottom picture is Dink Bishops car, rumored to be the Nitro 9 car.

Got my 65 Valiant in 1975. Raced in Z/SA and then brackets. Car is currently being refurbished, but the complete drivetrain is still running, in my 66 Barracuda. The 170 slant six, has been in many configurations, including turboed, and nitroused.
