Thanks Rob R. for the pics. That is me standing by the rear tire of the '69 Dusk Blue L78/L89 stickshift (3969 A/S) Camaro of my youngest brother Joe. He was the A/S record holder from 2016-2018 until the record was retired in 2018 and reset to minimum. He took the record from one of the new COPO Camaros that held the record previously. Don M.

Rob, I see on the black mustang front fender it says Velde Ford. Back in the day there was a guy named Jeff Velde that ran a red 68 fastback mustang in SS. I wonder if this black car is the same family?

I’m not sure Richard. I know Jeff Velde passed away close to 10 years ago. It wouldn’t surprise me if his family or relatives are still campaigning a car.

Don, for your brother Joe to hold the A/stick record for three years is quite an accomplishment and the car looks great.
I know there are some racers along the East Coast that take that class very seriously!

I like the paint on this '69. Period correct appearing without going overboard.
There certainly are a lot of old muscle cars at that track...

Rob, After i posted the question to you i Google searched Jeff Velde. Mr. Velde passed in 2012,he was inducted in to the Drag Racing Hall of Fame in 2008. He grew up in Ill. but moved to Florida when he and his father bought a Ford dealership there.
I watched him race many times at Beach Bend in Div.3 points meets and the Sportsnationals.He was always a top contender in each event.
