Lets just say that Tony and Frank dont see eye to eye.

You may also add Cruz to that as well,, Cruz and Tony are teamed up because they get along,,, Frank is on the outside. I know that some people had contacted Cruz in desparation to find out what is up with Frank,, only to be sternly told that "We are tired of having people call US about Frank".

What goes on in this business/sport on the other side of the ropes would surprise many starstruck fans. There are some truly great people in the game, but you would be shocked at the ones who don't make the good guy list, and the reasons why. I had my heroes from when I was a kid, but in the last 5-7 years, I've learned, seen, heard some crap that just turned me away from those who I looked up to as a kid.

Someone has to do more than drive a car,dunk a basketball,swing a bat or club etc to be classified as a hero in my book!
I do admire people who are very good at what they do though.

I agree in they need to do more than perform well to be a hero,, but kids really don't know any better. Racing in general has a history of attracting some unsavory types from society. It is a taboo topic, but consider just how many drag racers have ended up doing time, or with a more unfortunate ending in their career.

I'm not suggesting this about Frank, but it is true that the man has fallen out of favor among his peers. Said situation.

Sounds like a classic case of Champagne taste with beer money if you ask me!
If you can't afford it you shouldn't own it....and if you keep burning bridges noboby will want to deal with you and I think Frankie is fastly aproaching that place.

He wouldn't be the only one to have taken such an approach to make it in the business, Force, Hoffman, Bazemore are just a few who started with little and busted their butts. I'm sure they had a few people that were owed along the way, but they managed to somehow make it work. But Frank might have gone a bit over center in such a risk.

Yeah maybe but when they were breaking into the sport it was a lot more affordable.
I don't now Frankie personally so I only know what I've heard. I hope he can catch his dream but he needs to find some sound funding pay his bills to get some credibility back! I hope he gets it sorted out.

Competition Plus Rumor saying charges against Dupuy dropped by DA. Confirmation ongoing.

Not a suprise. It didn't seem to hold water from the get go.

Good luck in 2007, Wayne.
