Ford Racing Announces NHRA Contingency Program

[B/S 428]

yes I am registered with ford and yes I have been talking with jesse for several months and yes I called and talked to ford about the check-it just didn't arrive-fyi-I am always the last one to b**** about anything-I've been drag racing for over 30 years and a diehard ford guy (7) fords and a 2013 f-350-i talked with jesse again and he is going to make this right-I want say thanks!

Actually Charley, I'm not complaining just stating a fact. I'm too busy racing to have much time to complain, I'm just back from my 7th divisional for the season, I was #1 qualifier and am currently 5th in divisional points. I also hold 4 national records and have been class racing Fords for over 25 years. Based on that, I'll complain if I want whether it bothers you or not. In reality, I could really care less whether Ford supports racing or not, I didn't get into racing nursing any illusion that it was a money making proposition. In fairness, I did get a message from Jess Kershaw so I'll reserve any further comments for an offline conversation.

If it was not for Jesse and all the team at Ford Racing I would not have my Mustang to race, nor would I have a check stub from a cashed contingency check. Ford has raised the bar for support allowing a broad cross section of racers to take advantage of their programs.
Whether you are buying a brand new Cobra Jet, building a body in white, or just plain beating up on your old mule they have something to positively reinforce your involvement. The open mindedness and boosting for my whole project was phenomenal and it would not have ever happened without the vision of some very "sportsman supportive" people, for that they deserve thanks.
These people deserve a pat on the back, they visit with sportsmen in the pits, the checks do get sent out (even to Canada) , they in my opinion "GET IT" and have taken racing a Ford from an afterthought to a front of the line proposition.

Thanks and keep up the invovlement!

Jesse Kershaw, I would have already ordered a 2014 Mustang, but my sponsor pulled out because of the Tony Stewart incident. The insurance company strongly suggested Ruelco to pull the funding and not have any part. Ruelco was in the final stages of providing funding to get a new 2014 Mustang for stock. I do not think the insurance company realized the stock Mustang is not the type of car that John Force races.
