Ford and Pro Stock
From Pomona, Ford will no longer support Pro Stock! Just not important!
Stay tuned. |

Re: Ford and Pro Stock
Sure leaves Morgan and others hung out to dry...I thought Morgan did a pretty good job on the motor program. Sorry to hear this for the blue oval faithful. Think about Mark Wolfe who just stepped up to the plate and now his investment is hurt badly.

I don't think Ford did much for Morgan (or anyone else) in Pro Stock. Read someplace it was mostly engineering stuff but could be wrong. They didn't do much for Glidden in the old days either and that's why he got out of it. As for Mark Wolfe, he only had a couple race deal with Morgan's motor. I heard he will be running in Comp next year

Re: Ford and Pro Stock
Morgan should have been competitive right out of the box. The Ford motor is just a Hemi99 with the spark plug moved around some.
I thought Ford wasn't really putting up money anyway, the money was mainly from Cunningham? |

the info I got..............was that FORD wasnt sponsoring him anyways, it was just cunningham footing the bill on R and D............so why is this a suprise.........I dont think FORD will ever be a "FORCE" in Pro Stock unless they sponsor somebody in that class... I hate that for morgan, cunningham, and the other ford guys..
