Frank Jordan Passes
Long time stock racer and Quadrajet guru from Gettysburg Pa. passed early this morning. He was a great help to many racers out of the Eastern United States and will be missed by all. One of the few people we knew who could listen to the car going down the track and have you running a tenth quicker by the end of the day. Great loss and we'll see you soon.

I got to know Frank very well through my friendship with Fred and Paul Reich. He was a master with a Quadra-Jet. He will be missed. RIP Frank.

Re: Frank Jordan Passes
I'm so very sorry to hear this. I met Frank for the first time this December when I picked up a carburetor he did for me. He was one of those people I could sit and listen to for hours. I wish I would have met him many years ago. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I feel extremely fortunate I was able to meet him. Rest in peace, and thank you for everything Frank.

Re: Frank Jordan Passes
It is with a very heavy heart that I write this, I was very fortunate to be taken under Frank's wing. He was from the old days when you worked on your own stuff and you didn't give things away, he could squeeze more ET out of $100 than most could with $1000. I will be forever grateful for the things he showed me and the people he introduced me to. I'll try post funeral arrangements and obituary, as of now there is no viewing, that was how he wanted things, low key. On that note, Jeff here's my version:
"Tell you what friend I won't be able to leave my name and number, I'm going to miss your words of encouragement , but you can bet I will get back to you" I'm gonna miss you buddy. It's a sad day in the Miller camp. Bunk |

Re: Frank Jordan Passes
I have been thinking for a day what to say on the loss of Frank, and I am still lossed. Class Racing lossed another great one as he was a true inovator always thinking of ways to make it better and never thinking thats all that is there. I was very lucky to have him in my life for 30 years he taught me so much, but one thing is for sure he didn't teach me everything he knew. With Frank you had to work for it he would he would give you ideas but you had to take it from there. If you screwed up he let you know with a stern voice Steward what the hell were you thinking and if you did good he would just smile and give you a nod. That was some of the old school coming out in him because back in the day they all used last names to here them talk to each other was priceless Stahl, Jenkins and Jordan were three of a kind!! Some of my best memories in racing were the times Frank traveled with me. I could go on for ever about this GREAT MAN I was just a lucky one he had chosen to help.
RIP MY FRIEND |

Re: Frank Jordan Passes
thank you to all that posted about my dad. he loved racing and the people he met along the way. he had a few great racing friends that he would talk about, and i could tell how much they meant to him. when he couldn't race any longer, he still enjoyed helping his friends go faster. dad was a true racer. always looking for hidden horsepower, and never satisfied knowing there's more to be had on the next pass. sincerely, todd
