Ken,
Mike's internal email address has an automatic reply (written by Mike) that says after 10 years in Ford Racing he has elected to return to retirement. It's a brief, positive sounding statement, and says to contact Ken Felcher (kfelcher@ford.com) for Ford Performance questions. That is all the information I have access to.

I'm not sure it affects the program if he was or wasn';t but I had a card from last years CJ event to one of their engineers so I called to ask him and surprise he answered. He said "officially" Mike retired. I asked if there wasa retirement party or luncheon? Nope. Was there a goodbye email sent out from Mike about retiring with a new contact listed? No. I doubt we'll ever know for sure but that doesn't sound like retirement to me. THis guy sounded unsure about what to say. As for Mike's replacement he had no idea.

The timing is a bummer. Ford started this season strong after a disapointing couple years. Will that continue wihtout a Ford rep?

On the surface it looks like a good deal/match for both parties but I don't know how much return sam tech is getting on there dollar ? Hopefully enough to go for years .
