Legacy of Bob Tasca Sr. Within Ford Motor Company and NHRA Drag Racing Lives On In 110th Anniversary Season.
It’s almost impossible to describe the robust personality and vitality of a man like Bob Tasca Sr.
Beloved, he was bound to his friends and family through the lock-tight devotion that comes from mutual respect. Nothing went unnoticed by Bob Sr.; no detail left undone. He’s the kind of man you’d never want to take on in chess because he’d always be three steps ahead.
Henry Ford II affectionately called him “The Critic.” The nickname was not unearned because Bob Sr. was known for giving Ford unfiltered, direct advice, delivered simply. He was also known for the fearless, dogged way he pursued any goal he set.
One of those goals, four decades ago, was to get Ford Motor Company involved in NHRA Drag Racing.
He succeeded.
