I have not heard back from Ford Performance on their reasoning behind removing the 5.4L/4.0L combination out of the guide for showdown class. I have been speaking with Ford Performance's new boss Mark Wilson, in fact I drove to Ohio for the national event with 1 day's notice to have a meeting with him. The meeting lasted a good 3 1/2 hours. Basically I drove 20 hours, had a meeting for 3 1/2 hrs, multiple emails exchanged, and 139 text messages back and forth. He had his phone meeting with NHRA and I have not heard back from him in 6 days. As it stands now I do not know what direction he is going to go. He's got the approval from NHRA, in fact it was already on the books before Mike took it off...


I've been getting private messages and emails on this, people wanting to know if I've heard anything because they would like to use this combination. That is the reason for this post.
