    Way to go Frank and Team, and for a 10th Championship to boot. I believe he is an inspiration to us all.

    :D

    Obviously the Manzo team has set a new standard, but I'll remember Frank more for something else. Talking to Frank Parker after Danny Townsend's recent accident, I learned a lot about Frank Manzo and his team. His concern and compassion for Danny tell me more about Frank than his racing performance. Wear your 10th crown well Frank, you and your team have earned it!
