Bob Tasca made history tonight at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida with an incredible 341.68MPH pass in his Ford Mustang Nitro Funny Car at the PRO Superstar Shootout. It is the first time in history the 340MPH barrier has been broken by a piston-driven engine.
This makes it faster than a Top Fuel Dragster, faster than anything the NHRA has seen, faster than John Force, it’s a world record that has been decades in the making!

Curious how much fuel it used out the back

So what was his ET?
What ford motor were they running
Where are all the import guys stating their GTR or civic “would gap that thing”?
Scoreboard was messed up by a bit on speed. Antron had a pass at 339 that was off
Drove down the track at 341 and back up on the Scooter at 34.1 😎
Take that tesla😂
That's a space ship he went to the moon
Really in 1981. I was hired on as a temporary Vacation Relief Engineer. It was only a temporary 4 month job. Which, was all that I wanted. Before I would get back to pursuing a more Musical direction.
But then as a union Radio Engineer. I was transferred into Network TV News On Air Operations. And I begged them. Not to do that to me. That I was the wrong candidate for that position. They would not want me in that position. But they said I was a good engineer and I would do fine. It turned out, I did, too fine. And became one of their Top Audio Engineers. Doing shows. I had originally dropped out of high school for. Not to learn! But learn I did. Oh my God did I learn. I learned how our government works in comparison to other governments around the world.
And the only difference between America and all the other dysfunctional countries around the world? America is slightly less, dysfunctional. Slightly less. As there is no Perfect. There never will be. As you can't please all the people, all of the time. That will not work. There must be compromises. There has to be, compromises. And nobody wants to compromise. So that's not going to work. Everybody wants everything their way. It's not going to be, their way. It's going to be a compromise for everyone.
And so for those Americans that don't understand that? You may have to leave? If you are still breathing? Because fascist Nazi bullshit ain't going to cut it in the USA with Americans. And if they try? It will not go well for them. They tried this back in 1862. Because they thought they could own other people. They wanted to own,, other lives. No, no and no. That don't cut it in a Civilized America. We were growing up still. Some don't want to. They still don't want to even today. And they want to wreak havoc and reign terror. Upon the American people. Like cutting off all rights for women. That will make America better! Yeah no! Keeping black people from voting! That will make America better! Yeah no. It won't. It makes America 1862 again. Just like Republicunt's want!
Unfortunately. Just like Civil War 1.0. Civil War 2.0 will be much worse. And that's what they want. They are all Republicunt smart asses. That want to control Americans lives. That want to dictate. How we are going to live. And do we really need that? I say no!
Yeah this old world tactic. From a bygone era. Must finally be Vanquished and Exterminated. Along with them. We don't need American fascist Nazis dictating how people will live in the USA. Women do not need to have all of their rights removed from them. For someone's religious construct. That we as Americans don't have to subscribe to. But they believe we must be forced to. Because they are no longer Americans. They are now fascist Nazi pigs of the new embodiments of the Ku Klux Klan. And they all need their brains blown out en masse!
This is the Republicunt delirium. To impose brutal backward laws from over 100 years ago. Upon Americans again. To bring back the tyranny of the British government on American soil. To bring back Hitler. To bring back Mussolini. To bring back Hirohito and Osama bin Laden. Because Republicunt boys and Republicunt girls. Want to shoot their guns at Americans they don't like! Because they are Righteous Extremist Crazies! And they have their agenda to destroy all Liberal Americans! Because they can no longer tolerate living next door to liberal Democrats!
And not so terribly many years ago. In the 1960s. These same fascist Nazi Americans. Could no longer tolerate. Having their white child in a classroom with a black child. Or to have a black neighbor move in next door. That would destroy the value of your home. And so they would need to attack them and burn them out of their neighborhood. And that didn't cut it anymore.
So everybody had to be forced. To live next door to liberal Democrats and neighbors who were not Caucasian. Oh poo! Their, Righteous Lives now Destroyed! Because now they are being forced to live next door to off-color people and Jews!
And now after decades of that. They can no longer tolerate it anymore! And they must lash out and attack Americans they don't like! Because they are Righteous FUCKER's! And they want to destroy the USA and the American Federal Government. They hate it so much. They hate Americans so much! They hate everybody who is not white and crazed Christians like them! They feel they must destroy in the USA! Because they are Righteous Extremist Crazies!
And They Are Not Going to Stop. They Will Not Cease. They Worked for 50 Years. To Destroy the Rights of 1/2 of American Citizens Called Women. They Were Relentless for 50 Years! To Destroy the Rights of Women in the USA!
Now They Are Also Attacking the LGBTQ + Community and Populace. To Exercise Us from the USA. To Make Hitler's Third Reich Happen! To Be in Power for the Next 1000 Years!
Yeah No. They Are All Crazed Maniacs. And Just like Those Germans Not Quite 100 Years Ago. They Are All Going to Need to Be Blown Up! Brains Blown out! It's What They Are Demanding of the American People. They Want to Attack Americans They Don't like.. That's Not Going to Work. That Does Not Work. They Will Have To Be Put down. Like a Sick Pet. As we are humane. And want no suffering for those we love. So they will have to be put down. As they hate Americans they don't like. And that does not work in the USA. They have to be exterminated. There is no other way.
It's all unfortunate at best. But when you have crazed extremists that want an autocratic dictator. It's time for them to be put down. There is no other way. The Confederacy thought it was okay to own other human beings. And to still consider themselves, civilized? No! No we had to blow their brains out. They would not stop. They would not cease. They thought it was their right to own other human beings. It's not. It never has been! Not in the USA. While there was a time. When Americans were depraved like that. We fixed that. Quite some time ago.
Yet the crazed faction. They are back. They want to kill Americans they don't like. Because they are liberals! They want to kill all liberals. That's very conservative of them I would say? Kill all liberals is a conservative thing to do? Yeah no. It is not.. That's a fascist Nazi thing to do. And we don't need fascist Nazis running the USA. They need their brains blown out. They will be blown out shortly. Before, by or after November. Maybe by next January? When they try that Insurrectionist thing again. And then we really blow their brains out. And that will be that. They won't have to go to prison. They will go to the cemetery. That is the only place they belong. 6 feet under. If they keep this shit up! And they will. They will not stop. They will not cease. Until they destroy the USA as we have always known it. And we cannot allow them to do so. We have to blow their brains out. They are demanding this of us. Because they want a Nazi Germany USA. Yeah no. Ain't going to happen!
It could get very bloody here again. And it looks like it will. With extremist crazies that think they have the right to dictate how Americans will live.. Their style. Their way. With their Jesus. As they will not stop. They will not cease. Until they destroy what they want to destroy. They are relentless. At they are living amongst us right now. They need to be Vanquished from the USA. They need to be sent on to be with their Jesus. So they are walking with their Jesus. And not living amongst us anymore. Because they do not want to allow Americans to live their own independent lives there way. Because they hate Liberals! And they hated black people also. They hated Arabs. They hated Jews. They hated the Irish. The Italians. The Chinese. The Japanese. The Mexicans. The Native Americans. They hated everybody who wasn't white and crazed over their Jesus. And they are back!
So nothing good is going to come from this. Except the expungement of anti-Americans. Bye-bye!

This is really quite something. 341.68 mph my goodness? Far out man!
In 1963, when I was 8 years old. My dad had taken over the Advertising Agency.. That his father started. My grandfather Stanley. The Stanley Advertising Agency in Detroit, Michigan.
My dad started building up, the Agency. Around 1967. When he hired a new copywriter, Alan. Who also happen to be. The Track Announcer. At one of Detroit's big, Drag Strips. And with that. Dad would take me down to the Drag Strip. Any number of times.
And so I got to meet Big Daddy Don Garlits. Before he ever attained 200 mph. And then, Shirley cha-cha Mull Downey. Before anybody knew who she was!
Dad would take me to all the, Manufacturer and Custom Car Shows at Cobo Hall in Detroit. It was stupendous growing up as a kid in Detroit. When Detroit was still King of the Cars.
And so to see 341.68 mph is really quite something. In 1/4 mile! Holy moly!
Of course I've also been around. For our entire space race. As I followed every launch from Cape Canaveral as a kid on TV. I remember the Vanguard satellite. Blowing up on the launchpad. And I looked at mommy and asked. Do they have another one? No. Aren't they going to launch another one? No. What happened to this one? It blew up. Why? They would like to know also. Are we going to wait for them to launch another one now? No. And that was the end of Vanguard. Until we launched Explorer.
Then I was following the Jet Cars on the Salt Flats. Spirit of America. But it did not go supersonic. That would take a few more years. And then we landed on the Moon. And I know we did. Because I was glued to my Shortwave Radio to the VOA. Who carried the, Apollo 11, astronauts channel. Without any news commentator, interjections. I had that on CBS-TV with Walter Cronkite. Recording onto the other channel of my AKAI, M-8, vacuum tube, reel to reel recorder I had. So CVS-TV was Left Channel and VOA was Right Channel. And I recorded the entire event from landing on the moon until takeoff from the moon. All in audio. Because in 1969. We did not yet have home video recorders. I mean we did. They were black-and-white. They were reel to reel. They really weren't good. As I had gotten my hands on one from the times. In 1971. And a black-and-white Videocon camera.
This allowed me to do. One hell of a creepy, Halloween, Scare Tactic. I could see the kids walking up. Before they got to the door. And I would start to make creepy sounds. Ghoulish sounds. As I also had instructed myself a spring reverb contraption. It made me sound really creepy scary! It creeped some of the little kids out so much. They screamed in terror. Burst into tears. And ran away. They never got any of the candy! They were so scared. By the creepy ghoulish person they could hear but could not see. Though I could see them. It amazed some parents. They tried to calm down their child and get them the candy. It was very funny. As I was only 15 years old, doing that. And I knew. I would soon be working in Radio and/or TV. As I had already made my career goals. I knew where I was heading and what I was going to be doing. For the rest of my career long.
Today I'm 68 and now fully retired. From one hell of a career spanning more than 50 years. And what a career it's been. I never expected to be working with our Presidents of the United States. I never expected to be working with all of our elected officials. I never expected to be working with dignitaries from other countries. I never expected to be around all of these American Celebrities. From the movies, standup comedians, TV show celebrities, sports celebrities. I never expected any of this. That I would do any of that. But I did for NBC-TV News in Washington DC for 20 years. I never applied for that position! It was very funny.
(More USA Destruction in following post)
Just think how much faster that would be at the quarter mile mark !!
Proof again Ford's rule
Now the poweres that be will slow them down because they are going to fast.
Congrats on the new record. Well done to you and your Team
Bob , you are a legend
I was in Seattle & saw Bernstien go 333mph 22 years ago, thought that was fast till now.
I remember when hitting 230 was a huge deal back in the 70's. I read an article in Hot Rod magazine when I was a kid. 230 was so last century.
wow
The G force would be quite intense, so you would need practise to work your way up to that, to be able to control it while experiencing high G.
SMART MOVE, TAKE OFF THE HEADPHONES AND FOCUS, FOCUS AND MORE FOCUS, thats the key to it all
Who says nothing Good comes out of Rhode Island… Congratulations Bob ,
And those Awesome Tasca boys & Girls.
P R O M O S M 😂
Well thats 550 Km/h 😱
I seen faster 3.58 at 386 mph old old video
Not bad though
Well say goodbye too all forms of motor racing because soon there will be a ban on any unnecessary usage of combustible fuels of any kind. I read this on a site on the carbon footprint of motor sports. I love drag racing too but soon it might all be over!
If NHRA doesn get their heads out of their asses.They'll be like IHRA Ended up being
I wonder what the speed would be if it was a full Quarter mile pass.Bring back quarter mile racing.
why is there no top speed run for these beasts?????????
Geez
Whas that on the 1/4 mile ore 301 meters ?
