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.

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

Well the race is called for the day. The schedule now is tomorrow 9am with two shots and then at least one round of eliminations. Tech will remain open today until 5pm. More to come! Jim

Radar looks pretty dismal down there, hopefully they will figure a way to get it in. Anybody have an idea of the car count??
