Back in the giddy days of Ford's return to drag racing everything was just fabulous for you guys and we, the guys with the old cars, were considered over-the-hill whiners. But, how times have changed. These Ford guys have had the best of it for 8-10 years and rubbing it in all the while. It appears now that Ford has had enough. Mike isn't the guy who makes the decisions - he simply does what he is told by Ford. Do you think he's going to come out here and tell you that Ford doesn't love you guys anymore? Sure they have a run of expensive new cars coming out and I'll bet they don't plan on supporting them either. 68 CJ's doesn't mean jack to Ford's bottom line. Ford executives were using you guys to have a little corpoate fun. And apparently Ford has moved on. You should consider the advice that you gave us - Stop complaining and work on your cars.
