Nye Frank dies!
I got an email from the 1320 group, posted by Steve Gibbs. It seems the 68 year old former partner in the famous "Freight Train" twin engined dragster died after a neighborhood fight, with a 27 year old. The word was that he was injured, but probably died of a heart attack.

That's a shame! Not only did he team up with John Peters on the Freight Train but he was involved in many more drag and salt cars. Talented wrench.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I agree. The Freight Train was probably the most well known AA/GD on the west coast.
