Nye Frank

Postby Andamo » Tue Aug 07, 2007 3:33 pm

Nye Frank passed away recently from a apparent heart attack. Nye campaigned a dragster called the Frank, Brown and Weddle car in the late 50's. He then went on to race the legendary "Freight Train" a twin engined car with John Peters. He then went on to race the "Pulsator" dragster. He has built cars for Don Prudhomme and Mickey Thompson. He still was building cars and doing "tin work" at the time of his death. And we've lost another drag racing legend. God speed to you Nye, and thank you for your contributions to our sport.
