I wasn't sure whether to put this in the Mustang drag racing forum, but was worried enough people wouldn't see it.

NHRA innovator Bob Tasca Sr. dies at 83



Tasca Sr. was the grandfather of NHRA Funny Car driver Bob Tasca III. Tasca Sr. is credited with bringing the Cobra Jet 428 engine to drag racing in the 1960s and helping with the development of the Ford Thunderbolt drag racing car.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Tasca. Drag racing and our beloved Mustangs wouldn't be what they are today without your influence.

Here's a link to a TMS gallery of one of his game changing creations:

Oh no...we've lost a legend RIP.
