Tasca: An old name reappears!

thought this was neat... I just can't get used to them not running a 1/4 mile anymore.... hard to see those 3's.... From the NHRA web site: Tasca defeated good friend Tony Pedregon to claim his first Funny Car Wally, driving around Pedregon's better leave to take the win with his Motorcraft/Quick Lane Mustang, 4.20, 280.72 to 4.53, 210.90.

"Tony is my best friend - I was the best man at his wedding - and I can't tell you what he means to me, " said Tasca. "Our families are going to Disney World tomorrow - my wife is his wife's best friend, too - and he hugged me before the final and said, 'B, either way, we're going to Disney tomorrow, but if you win, you're buying dinner.' [After the final], he gave me a big hug. I know he was so proud to see me achieve this win, and I know he wanted to win as bad as I did, but I know he was real happy for me.
