*Frankie began his
career in 1947 by winning $70 for driving his street car
to a seventh place at Flemington Speedway.
Frankie is believed to have won at least 750
races in the next thirty years. He routinely raced in
several classes at eight races per week. He reportedly
scored at least 100 wins again in 1958. Frankie won the
Langhorne National Open, the country's top event for
Sportsman and Modified racers, in 1954 and 1962. He
scored his last feature win in 1977 at the 1/2-mile dirt
track Nazareth Speedway. He has competed in almost all
50 states as well as other countries. He
still occasionally races at Orange County Fair in a
Modified. He was recently voted driver of the
century by Area Auto Racing News.
