Was that Velde Ford car originally from central IL? The Velde family had a few dealerships up here.

Yes, Well we are from Pekin, IL, that's where my grandfather started the Dealerships at. They are actually owned now by his long time partner and his sons. The Thunderbolt my uncle built at his Ford store in Vero Beach, FL.

Re: "Not Live From" Orlando, NHRA Lucas Oil Series
I guess fixing the pits wasn't high on the list of "to-do's"....although I heard that they did a great job with the track finish....good luck to everyone this weekend
