Anyone here planning on going to the tasca show tomorrow in Cranston?
Tasca Show
- Thread starter bigmoose
- Start date
I wish I knew earlier it was tomorrow. I would have gone. Always a nice show!
I'll be there in my silver/red 2012 Boss 302 LS.
They did a poor job advertising it. It's not on their site. I only found the Facebook page by searching tasca 20th
Now that sucks. I remember back around 2005-2007 or so they did a nice job publicizing it. Hey, it attracts folks to their dealership. Makes sense to use the show as a marketing tool. Do they still open up the staff cafeteria to attendees?
Wish I knew this was today!
I talked to Bob a few weeks ago, I think they've gotten to the point of being so active in so many avenues it's become harder to be better than average at advertising each one.
He said they're looking to expand their help on events so they can better publicize events.

During the height of the show a few years ago they would have Carroll Shelby, jack roush, bob Tasca sr., bob Tasca jr., Steve Saleen, etc all signing autographs.
The only one here today is tasca jr and Steve Saleen.
Also, back then the show was free, today it was $20 to enter, but you get a free Tasca T shirt.

Surprised at the turnout considering no one knew about it. The main area was full by 10 and the back lot behind the shop filled by 11 or so. Apparently it was some tasca/saleen anniversary thing so alot of saleens. There was a mystichrome saleen vert there which was cool. Not a saleen fan but a bunch of nice cars. They had every generation of Ford GT represented as well.
As usual getting in was a shitshow as the person at the entrance table was completely incompetent.

Back when I used to go, it was free but you had to bring at least one non-perishable food item for the local food pantry. They always had a live band back then, too. Not sure if they still do that.
Nice that there was a decent turnout. Awesome weather!
Were you there when they started up the TascaParts.com nitro funny car today? Did they have the Beach Boys tribute band there again?
I left before they started it up. I was parked right across from it. Yeah they did have the beach boys tribute band playing again this year, they were pretty good.
They started the funny car up at 2pm.
Made a few small revs, two or three full throttle revs, and then shut it off.

Yeah, that's kind of how I remember it back when I last attended one of their shows. A few small revs, 2-3 full throttle blips, and then shut it off.
I will say that Tasca puts together a nice show. Nice that the Rhode Island Food Bank benefited from the spectators bringing two non-perishable food items for admission.
