If all this is true, Jesse will be just fine.

Jesse and I have had a few enjoyable games of verbal volleyball, fact is I still had my fingers crossed for a Steve McQueen "Bullet" green CJ.

Saw a documentary type show that stated that the Charger kept running away from the Bullet...just wanted to add that important historical footnote LOL.

As I recall they trashed 3 Stangs going thru those Frisco moguls, front ends kept falling out. Only needed one Charger.

I believe your information is incorrect. There more than one charger used up. There were two Mustangs to start with, only one used, the on that was crashed at the end of the chase. The other Bullet Mustang is being privately held and stored.

I would think and hope from his experience of working with racers while he was at Ford would make him a good fit for racers as the DD.......

No way. For sure they needed more than one Ford and only one Mopar. Ever look at a stang front end?

Do you mean the "Stang front end" that dozens of wheelstanding Stock and Super Stockers have been landing from wheelstands for about 50 years? Seem fairly durable to me! Any idea how many hubcaps fell off that Charger ? Certainly more than 4!

What does the movie Bullitt have to do with this thread?

Stock and S/S has a DD coming in that came from a company that switched their money spent at NHRA from John Force Racing to the Sportsman ranks. Think about that for a minute. Jesse Kershaw worked for the part of Ford that gave us the CobraJet program. That means he was deep into Stock and S/S racing at the factory level. Pushing NHRA to accept factory hotrods in their program was a move that gave Stock and S/S a shot in the arm. Jesse Kershaw was right there at the top of the company's racing program. Although he will have to be a NHRA company man, I think he will be an asset to NHRA's Stock and Super Stock racing which we could all welcome.

....
Because like Kershaw, we're "car guys". And indeed having a kindred spirit as a DD is a good thing.
