He didn't want the seat. He wanted to do his own deal. Can't fault him for that.

Re: Tasca Offically Going Nitro

This is the car that made me a funny car fan for life. In '69 as a small kid I watched the Tasca Super Boss Mustang driven by Bill Lawton at Connecticut dragway in a Ford vs Chevy funny car event. I was so excited at the time I was shak'n.

Anyone know when and where the picture of the red Mustang was taken?

Re: Tasca Officially Going Nitro

Did I misinterpret something about them having the quickest alcohol funny car pass @ 5.54? There were some .40's run last year, right?

Sean,

Yes quite a few .40's were ran last year, you're correct

Tasca went 5.451 in GNV. Which I believe is the current National TAFC Record.

Oh I'm alright. It's colder than **** here, it was -7 degrees when I woke up this morning. On days like this racing season seems so far away.

Oh man what I'd give for some cooler weather... it's been over 100 here on most days the past few weeks. Would you be interested in a trade?

Yes!! I'll alway take heat over cold. I can still function in heat, but when it's this cold, you can't do anything.
