Holy crap! $1000,00 to win a national in a ford?? HELLO!! What is the main gripe here? MONEY! And here is a manufacture stepping back in (which will drag the others in) Paying good money for contingency, pushing exposure of Stock, big names to drive....c'mon guys, seriously, what is the downside? One car that will dominate in heads up until it's factored like lots before it? (and lots to come)
Change the index's to start at 5.00 for A and go to Z

Geez...I hope when you prepare your taxes your not as easy with the zero's!
Here's the real deal:
Wolfe said, "There are a number of reasons why this is significant. Ford has not been involved in Sportsman racing for quite a few years,
but now we're going to be paying $1,000 in contingency earnings for anyone who wins an NHRA national event title in a Sportsman category, from Comp through Super Street. The new Cobra Jet is hopefully just the beginning of other similar projects to come in the future. We hope to offer a 2010 MY Cobra Jet, and details about that car should be available either late in the spring or the early summer."
