Dearborn Flashback.com is the premier website dedicated to preserving FoMoCo's racing and performance car legacy. The drag racers and muscle cars of the Total Performance era are the primary focus here. Total Performance was much more than an advertising slogan, it was a relentess mission to win. Mission accomplished.

Sad news to report, Bob Tasca Sr. passed away on January 8th, 2010. A true legand in the Ford world, Mr. Tasca owned the world-famous Tasca Ford dealership. Back in the day, he helped bring us the Thunderbolt and the Cobra Jet Mustang. "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday" was Tasca's slogan, and that's exactly what he did. Bob Tasca was 83.

Ford's 2010 team roster includes Larry Morgan, Jim Cunningham, Erica Enders, Chris Holbrook, Justin Humphries, and Robert Patrick with his fantastic retro Ford Drag Team paint scheme. Humphries will utilize Roush-Yates for his engines. Stay tuned for more.
