Frank Iaconio Jr. - Tragic Traffic Accident

Todd Bailey · 01-09-2020, 01:15 PM

I grew up watching Frank, Sr during the heydays of Pro Stock but never met him. I thought about this all day yesterday and just how tough it must have been. As my Grandmother once said, "we are not to bury our children". From what I have read about his son, he knew what he wanted to do and achieved the training to do it. I think about his parents and how tough it will be for Frank to go back into that shop. I have a friend who just lost his son in a horrible motorcycle accident and it just hits home how precious life is and how quickly it can be taken from you. Stay safe everyone.

Condolences to Frank and his family. I will miss his legendary Revell Iaconio Chevy Camaro. It's hard to get out of the ultra-exchange world of Pro-Stock drag racing. During his career, Frank Iaconio has competed in 11 Pro-Stock National Finals, and his engines have won 4 more races. A few years ago, I also got into an accident, after which I stopped driving a car at all. I used a lawyer in Houston to prove my innocence and get compensation. But I still have this fear of driving. Perhaps, it will pass, or I will force myself to drive in the future, but I feel that now is not the time.

I can't imagine losing a child. My prayers are for the family at this horrible time. R.I.P. Frank jr.

This happened two years ago. Still tragic.
