Re: Division 6 Frank Nelson RIP
 

:(:( I was at Bremerton Raceway yesterday and heard the news. A big loss to Div. 6 and possibly the west coast. My condolences to the family - Rest in Peace Frank - you are no longer suffering. As a side note another racer lost his life recently. Tom Bouck died about a week and a half ago. He was only 54. Too young and another good guy gone from the northwest. My condolences also to Tom's famly and I will miss him also.

So sad to hear of Big Franks passing. The first time I saw Frank Nelson was in the late 70`s, at the NHRA National event in his silver "Coors Light" sponsored early Camaro, either in Modified Production or Comp. I still remember hearing that liitle small block rev to the moon before Frank dumped the clutch, and watching a rear slick and wheel, with the axle flange still bolted on, fly off the car, and go bouncing down the track. As a diehard stick guy , Frank was always fun to watch, and a great guy who always seemed happy to talk with anybody at the track. Frank was a well known and well respected NorthWest racer, and he will be missed. RIP Frank.
