Rest in peace my friend. Frank was a amazing guy and one of the nicest people you would ever meet. He would always be there to help you out or give you what ever you need at our away from the track. What I loved about Frank the most was he raced the old fashion way. No electronics. No computer. Heck it took him to his final years of racing to put a automatic in his car. He would tell me that aint racing. He would dump the clutch, bang the gears, and run it as hard and as fast as he could. He didn't care if he won or lost. He was having fun doing what he loved the most. Our heart and prayers go out to Ruth and the family. God bless you my friend.

Steve, Deb, and Ryan Polack

First event I attended driving Frank's old car (the Cavalier) on the West coast, everyone was coming by our pit are looking for him. I explained to everyone that came by looking for him, that we had just purchased the car.

I knew at that point he must have been a well liked guy, simply by the amount of people who came by 'his' car in the pits. A few of them even told me what a great person he is, and they were stopping by to say hello.

Some of these people looked at me weird when I told them I was driving, when asked why, their reply was all the same... Frank is much taller than you, how do you reach the pedals?
We had a good laugh about that all weekend...

RIP Frank, and wish I had the opportunity to meet you.
