can anyone out there name another driver who won 4 track championships in one year? or over at least 800 win in 30 years?
11 in a row at Middletown,1961? i think? sat behind the wheel of a race car for 60 years? Great book Dennis, thanks 4 your
loyal work for dad.. and all the guy's who cam around the garage to devote their time. Billy Kershner is one who stands out
in my mind, one great man!he did more 4 dad from what i seen,and i was there! and thanks Harry Snyder for your countless
hours of work on the Pinto! EXELANT WORK, Frankie iv. |

Mr. Schneider... that's what I called you few times I was able to meet you in the pits. I loved stock cars more than anything
- and the nights that you were at the track were always the best. Never pushy, always smooth, always there at the end.
I began watching the races at Hinchliffe and Ruppert Stadiums - then Wall, Oldbridge, Morristown and Dover. I recall names
like Wally Campbell, Bill Chevalier, Al Tasnady, "Stumpy", Lenny Brown, Tommy Elliot and an obscure early (1950) driver named
Bob Read. Those Friday and Saturday nights are still the fondest memories of my childhood - and I thank you for them.
Now with you in your eighties and me in my mid sixties, we can probably both consider ourselves adults - more or less - but
even though you are Frankie Schneider on the track, you will always be "Mr. Schneider" to me.
Thanks once again for the great times.

I raced against Franke at Lebanon Valley in West Lebanon NY in the 60s & 70s. Going down the backstretch, Frankie tangled
with the car in front of him and slowed very quickly. I was only a few feet off his rear bumper, so he hit the car in front,
I hit him, and we all slid to a stop. The entire rear end of his car was up in the air, perched atop my left front tire.
I was able to continue. But that is the closest I ever got to meeting him. I drove a yellow 731 sportsman chevy coupe with
356 v8. I am building a model of Frankies Gremlin and trying to be authentic but don't have a good pic for sponsors names.
If you can help me with that I would appreciate it. Thanks

Frankie and I raced at Lebanon Valley Speedway in NY. I was running behind him in my yellow 731 and there was a slight accident
ahead of Frankie, which I didn't see, and he slowed quickly, I ran into the back of him, and when the dust settled, the back
of his car was resting on my left front tire. Actually, no damage to him or me from that contact. I never had any conversation
with the man, but I did respect him on the track.
This was back in the late 60s to early 70s.
Back when it was fun and cheap to race, not like it is now. |

used to run at the old Delmar, Md track and Georgetown Speedway in Delaware. He used to say that you used to put 'em all
in your dust. He worked on the cars of J.D and J.R Jones from Salisbury,Md. Good luck and best wishes. Bob Bloodsworth,

My dad ( George Decker 111) raced with Frankie in the early 50s. He ended up being my favorite since I was a very little girl.
We use to go to Orange County and watch him run. Then my brother started racing in the 70s ( Gary Decker 101). My dad passed
away in 1990 and my brother died in 2001 from burns from an explosion. I miss them and hearng those old racing stories very
much. I'm looking forward to reading the book. It will be nice remembering the old times. Please tell Frankie that my mom
and I think of him often. Lots of great memories. Pam Decker Pratt |

I used watch Frankie's red and white #2 modified EVERY Saturday night at Middletown, NY back in the 60s. We ate at Frankie's
sausage bar, drank beer and knew who would win the race! Frankie must have tutored Buzzy Reutimann's kid, 'cause he's doing
very well in the Busch series. Frankie was certainly the very best at what he did |

I saw Frankie win many a race at Morristown,NJ on the dirt half mile. The feature winner usually got a new Cromwell helmet.
Frankie must have had 50 of them! The Parisi deuce Frankie drove had a skull and crossbones flag waving from the radio antenna.
I wanted to steal that flag as a memento, but I never did. I am looking forward to reading the book, which I ordered through
the mail. Old timers like me don't know anything about Pay Pal. |

Living in Flroida, I was lucky enough to watch some of the Northern drivers come down here and race after the season would
end up North. Frankie Schneider was always one of the drivers to show up. He, Pete Folse, Buzz Barton, and a few others always
kicked the competition up a notch or two. One year Frankie wrecked his modified on Friday night, and had a new one built and
racing the next night. He is definitely one who lives to race.

I lived just two miles down the road from Frankie as a teenager, and was always stopping in to get Franks help with something.
I even got to go to one of his famous Christmas Parties in the mid seventies.Frank was always the one I cheered for. And his
brother Bunny was a real good guy also. |

i used to watch frankie race @ middletown during the mid 60's thru mid 70's when i was about 10 years old.thats when my family
became regulars at the track.i met him several times in the pits after the races & he was always very nice to me and my brother
and would take time to talk with us.we would root for him regularly as he was always one of the greatest drivers.we also loved
to eat @ frankies sausage bar across from the track.i don't know if he owned it or not but those sandwiches were the best!i
still have a few great pictures of him in both #2 coupe and sedan plus newspaper articles from our local paper that i keep
in my scrap book.i'm sorry that i missed him @ new egypt in july i would have made the trip to meet him again and would have
liked to let him sign my photos.anyway i'm glad to hear that he is doing well and still involved in the dirt racing circuit. |

I began rooting for Frankie in 1950,when he raced on Friday night @ the West Lanham Maryland Speedway & followed him through
#88 (coupe)#88 (sedan)& lastly, #2 (coupe)sponsored by Peresi(sic). I agree that Frankie is one of the great drivers of our
time. |

After reading all the comments, it's little wonder why this man is so well liked and loved. Frankie, it was always great to
see you pulling into the pits at Middletown with your big Imperial towing the #2 Coupe or Coach. I knew we were in for a great
race. Your driving style was the greatest. I remember you in the T52 as well. Great talking with you today and Happy 81st

I met Frankie a few years ago - I was having motor problems with a 1976 Ford E-350 Work Truck (was an ambulance). Frankie
sold me a 74 Tbird on his property and I yanked the heads - the car is still there I think - anyway - he rebuilt em for me
for $100 and I popped em back on and I ran that truck for another year before I scrapped it. Frankie saved my ass...He is
an awesome person, great heart. I stuck around his house and helped him with stuff (moving heavy furniture, organizing stuff)
and I moved out of the area. I hope he is well - I really need to stop by if I am in the area. If anyone has any Frankie

Hi,I am Franks daughter Darlene,and I remember alot of the stories in that book. They were great times back then,an Dennis
was there for so many, and did a fabulous job putting it all on paper. As for my Dad there is no doubt he was the "Best Driver"
ever.I just wish that we had the money for him to have continued racing longer than he did. He would have been a champion
for a few more years if he could have kept up financialy. He still has it in him at the ripe old age of 80.More knowledge
of racing than anyone, because now days its not about knowledge of building a car,and driving it, its about who can buy you.
My Dad knew how to build a car from junk,not money and could drive it without taking driving classes. |

I was a big Frankie fan.But after 1963 Frankie wasnt a regular at Reading.I sat in the grandstands at the very top right hand
side. Every week I would watch the pit gates to see if Frankie would show up and to see what red and white car he would showup
in. He is the purist of racers: Builder, driver, and Champion. Thanks, Mick |

I saw Frankie race many times at Lebanon Valley, and Middletown, as well as Flemington.
I ran into Frankie at the Reading get together 3 years ago, he hasn't changed . Continued good health to him. It's about time
people started writting books about these guys. That period of time was the very best racing. |

A Great racecar driver Frankie Schneider whom owes his first drive to my late grandfather "Muskie" Charlie Muscatel, The original
pioneer of race car driving. It all started for Mr Schnider when my Late Grand Father allowed Frankie to warm up his racecar
at either wall or Long Branch. According to muskie Frankie a 15 year old boy " trimmed thier asses on that track". I have
sat with my grand father and listened to all the great stories and now that he has passed I have his stories to share and
his scrap book that has a lot of Frankie in it. |

cars #17 ( sportsman) and #017 ( modified ) and later #999. Frankie did have some rivals he could not beat, i.e., Jerry Morese
( Car# 10 ) at Roosevelt Stadium and Al Keller at Morristown. I think keller drove the purple # 88 with 4 carbs and could
not be touched. One year Frankie came to Morristown with a new kind of engine and beat the pants off all the sportsman and
most of the modified while running sportsman. Don Stump, Tommy Elliot, Jack Choquette, Wally Campbell, Parker Bohn, & George
Tet were all contenders also. I would love to contact Frankie in some manner. My father used to get so mad at some of Frankies
antics,e.g., wearing a tuxedo and getting brought on the track by a limo and another when Frankie drove a lap at Roosevelt
Stadium with a monkey. |

Hey Frank - I watched you race at Middletown on many and many a Saturday night. I'd drive up from Ramsey, NJ, watch the race,
drink up all the beer and then go down to the Wonder Bar in Goshen and have a few more with the drivers. You are truly a
legend. Take care of yourself |

Since I was a little kid of 15, Frankie has been my personal "Dirt Track Hero". One of my biggest pleasures was when my brother
Wayne threw a suprise 50th birthday party for me and as I entered the room Frank was sitting at the front table. Having Frank
as a friend for many years, I can tell you there is no one more deserving of telling his story. Thanks for the memories Frank
! |

I just ordered a copy of this book. He was the first track champion at the legendary Weissglass Stadium on Staten Island,
back in 1953. Seen Frankie race many times at Flemington and Nazareth. Truly one of the greats |

i remember being at state wide mid 70s had a little rain just before the feature frankie had the pole. the track seemed a
little damp, they were getting ready to start the race frankie jumpted the gun took off spun it out in the first turn looked
at the flag man and shook his head from left to right. witch ment not yet.he probably saved the first ten race cars very
smart man. what i really remember is eating at tobys cup on memorial parkway in p,purg n. j. out side on a picnic table and
seeing the black caddy at the traffic light with the duce on the trailer heading to nazreth. |

That's my Uncle!! When your a kid and see a room full of trophies bigger than you,boy do your eyes get big! Then he let me
pick any one I wanted! What a great and humble man.I am a little sorry that I was too scared to ride in that very loud #2
car when I had the chance....I love hearing the stories from my father and all my cousins about the racing days.I hope that
all of you enjoy it too. |

friendly with him one nigth at middletown he told me to take his chev sedan out in a heat I missed qualifying by one ,but
it was the greatest thrill of my racing days cant wait to read book

I have always regarded Frankie as the smartest race driver I ever saw. Watching him run a 100 lapper on a half mile dirt
was priceless. |

Being a charter member of the RFRHS, our club was at the Reading Fair, since we started the club. Frankie was their last year
and this year. Last year he was driving a sling shot and had a crew of young guys helping him. Frank looked in better shape
than the young guys on his crew. This year I talked to him for about 45 minutes. What a memory, what a man, what a driver.
Per our conversation, I do beleive he has never thrown anything away that had to do with racing. |
