Re: RIP Frank Grossi
It's hard to type when you have tears in your eyes and can't see the screen clearly. Frank was one of the nicest guys I've ever met, and I already miss him. He was always my toughest race as I always had to race him heads up. (same class). The record as I remember it is, 1 win (me), 49 wins (him). This side up...

Re: RIP Frank Grossi
My one and only Division win was against Frank in Sacramento in 1995. Frank asked me in the lanes to not be in a hurry as he needed time. Next thing I knew he was firing motor up and I just finished checking tire pressure. I rushed to get in car and get to water box. After I talked to him about not being in a hurry and we had a good laugh about it. RIP

Re: RIP Frank Grossi
Very sad news. As other have noted, a very nice man and a heck of a racer.
For those who remember, he beat Rick Houser in the 1983 World Finals (last race at OCIR) for his only national event win. RIP |

Re: RIP Frank Grossi
Sad to hear. Frank was pretty legendary as a member of the California contingent of serious Super Stock racers. May you rest in peace, Frank.

Re: RIP Frank Grossi
Harvey Lawson introduced me to Frank at Orange County International Raceway and said they were building a 1969 SS/EA Camero together like in 1982, Frank was a gentleman too the end, his kind words, generosity and sense of humor never wavered toward me, I will miss our racing each other and that friendly smile, thanks for being my friend, ps Kevin I remember that 1983 win at Orange County, I was doing good at that race until I raced Frank in the quarter final, now Frank is up there with Harvey again, God Speed my friend, Fred Moreno
