According to Autoweek and a number of other sites, Bob Tasca, Sr. passed away. Creditied wiht being the father of the Cobra Jet and responsable for building and backing a number of serious Ford drag racing efforts, his family is still involved heavily with Blue Oval 1/4 mile activities.

This one is still my favorite...

Russ, I was fortunate enough to get a hat signed by Bob Tasca Sr. and his Grand son pictured with you there. My Mom&Dad both come from Rhode Island and it was a cousin of mine who got the hat signed for me. He was and is definetly a part of the Ford legacy.

Great man and huge loss to the Ford Motor Company family. It was his belief & knowledge in Ford performance when Dearborn didn't that brought about the Cobra Jet. Great family man.

MattN03 · 01-09-2010, 08:38 PM

RIP Bob.
