It is with as sad heart to announce the passing of longtime NHRA Northwest Division Six racer Frank Nelson Sr.  I met Frank in the mid 1980’s at then SIR, and Frank helped me shape the direction of my photography. His large and powerful hand on your shoulder had a way of steering you in the right direction. I will surely miss him, but never forget how he helped me.  My condolences to his family in time of sorrow.  – Jim Doyle
