Re: Jesse Kershaw leaving Ford SVT
Agree, Jesse was a great guy to work with as regards to Ford products and always went the extra mile to help.
On the same, the COPO guys lost a great guy in Robin Wright when he left General Motors. |

Re: Jesse Kershaw leaving Ford SVT
I'm sorry to see him go. He helped us a lot on sourcing parts, etc. when we were building our Mustang.
I wish him well in his future endeavors.

Re: Jesse Kershaw leaving Ford SVT
Sorry to hear him leave Ford.
He was a great help when I needed engine specs submitted to IHRA.

Re: Jesse Kershaw leaving Ford SVT
I think Jesse was great for Ford Racing. Does anyone know why he is leaving? Is Ford turning it's back on drag racing even more now?

Re: Jesse Kershaw leaving Ford SVT
Larry, I don't know Mr Kershaw but I would like to think his background will just make it harder for the Ford guys to get anything past him.
Forever the optimist, Bill |
