Thanks....I met Franks son once at the Huntington Beach Concourse in California
and he gave me some details on the accident. I wanted to give him something in
memory of his dad and i didn't have much except shirts so I gave him a TPR shirt
which included his dads name on the back of the shirt and later sent him a
plaque. Yea, I know it wasn't much.
It was obvious Franks family and friends missed him allot....And I have to say
the Mexican's in Ensenada all remembered him. When i was at the start line of
the Hill Climb with Dick Drenske and everyone put their 'hands' on my Pantera I
didn't realize until later they were praying.
Did not PI or POCA do a story about Frank's race years with the Pantera +/- 20
years ago?
