2019 Cobra Jet program in jeopardy ?
The word is Mike Delahanty is no longer with Ford Performance. So my question is who will be the contact for the Cobra Jet teams. How do we buy parts, and who do we order them from. Will they be replacing Mike or just not have a rep anymore. Does this mean all the teams are on their own.
I have yet to see one factory 2019 Cobra Jet produced. From my perspective things don't look good for the Cobra Jet program. If they are cutting back on personnel, does that send us a message to where the Cobra Jet program is heading. What was once the best factory program to come out of the the big three is now just a shell of itself. Brian Wolfe and Jesse Kershaw brought the Cobra Jet back in 2008, and it forced Dodge and Chevy to do likewise. I can only imagine how they must feel looking at how the Cobra Jet program has declined. Yes I know the Showdown combo is very fast now, but there are very few new combo's for the rest of us Ford racer, unlike in the years between 2010-2014 where you had so many choices. I know many teams were unhappy with they way the Cobra Jet programs was run in the past few years, but without a rep what do they do now. How about some feed back on what you guys think Ford Performance should do to keep the Cobra Jet program going for the future. |

Was Mike Delahanty fired or did he resign?

I've been wondering how they can still call it a 50th anniversary car when we are now over 51 years from the introduction of the original. Way too many delays, some kind of problems there for sure.

Please Ford....bring back Jesse.
He was not only good for the Cobra Jet program, but he was also responsible for getting other non FS combos into the classification guide. Last edited by ALMACK; 04-03-2019 at 06:41 PM. |

That is weird, before these they were 2016 models, maybe because of the delay producing them they became 2019 Cobra Jets.
