I think I saw Mike Delahanty at the train station yesterday. He got out of a Chariot shuttle bus and jumped on his Ford scooter. What a guy, all Ford, all the way.

I bought a 2018 Mustang GT in May of 2018 and one of the reasons behind that choice was because of my interest in the FS/XX class. So to say this class does not help sell cars is just plain wrong.

The cars in this class are light-years more identifiable to the buying public than the carbon fiber decal cars in NASCAR, Pro Stock or Funny Car.

Some of the comments in this thread by those that have absolutely nothing to do with the class are amusing to say the least.

Jody,

Its the nature of forums, it seems negativity is more popular than positive discussion. My original post was looking for suggestions to help make the program better in the future. I do agree with you about the Cobra Jets having a positive effect on new cars sales. Its kind of the same marketing scheme that Dodge uses with the Demon, not many will buy a Demon, but they will buy something that looks the same.

The Challenger outsold the Camaro last year, and I think its because of the heavy marking campaigns they have. I wish Ford would do more with the Cobra Jet and Chevy with the COPO. Its definitely a plus to see factory cars racing instead of the cookie cutter professional drag cars.
