I'm at many of the races that Manzo's at because I own a comp car that is based in D1. I don't recall any oildowns that were due to Ace blowing up parts. I don't pay attention to every run he makes, but my impression is that he's pretty easy on parts. Doug Palmer (Follow a Dream crew guy if not crew chief, can't remember which) comes on the Mater a lot-help me out on this one Doug-isn't Frank easy on parts?

Re: The TA/FC 5.40 club has another member!
over the years living in division one Ive watched Frank make tons of runs and for the life of me I can never remember him granading a motor. Ive seen him shake and shut off. But I have yet to see a grease sweep truck follow him down the track.

Dave I wasn't referring to Blowing up they're Motors per say. But Leaning on them hard enough to knock the Bearings out, or change the Springs every 3-4 passes.

Awesome stuff!! Jay's an old fave. Good to see him in the .40s one of the good guys in the sport of drag racing.

Re: The TA/FC 5.40 club has another member!
Those .40's were some impressive runs but the thing that I liked about Jay and Shelly were that they donated all money from shirt sales on Sunday to the Lynn Nickerson fund. Thanks to them, and other fundraisers at the event(wish I could remember their names), it should help him with his medical bills.

Good point Joe. But then replacing valves springs in a TAFC is cheap compared to the cost of not replacing them.
