Our conversation focused primarily on the Landar R8. Which crash ended his career I could not say with any certainty. I believe it was the thread from Ian (RS250) that contained the statement you’re referring to. Frank did mention a career ending crash in our conversation though. Having verified my information with Mike Kenney, Peter Radnall and others, I can confirm with certainty all facts relating to the Landar R8, not the number or severity of crashes Frank managed to survive. Cheers.
Were you still the owner of 750901 when it appeared at the Motorsport Reunion at Laguna Seca in 2010?
