Default What ever happened to Ghetto Racer?

This is probably for the west coast portion of this board.

I'm sitting here procrastinating, avoiding finishing the outdoor decorations, and I started wondering.

Whatever happened to Frank? (your mind works in strange ways when it's cold)

That thread lasted well over a year, and probably had more hits than any this board's seen. From what I understand, it became the talk of many other boards as well.

Is he still on track?

Is he still instructing?

Did he start the school he talked about?

Just wondering what happened to him.

I heard a story about GR this week...

Apparently, he instructed at a school earlier this week, but was told that he was not allowed to drove any student's car (under penalty of severe injury or death). Instead, someone else drove GR's car, and as f8 would have it, crashed it.

He's been posting on honda-tech some lately, but he hasn't mentioned that

Doesn't look like that would really be a problem, as he seems to still be up to the old tricks...

I saw this thread last night before bed and had to go find out what the fun was all about. An hour or so later I was a good way through the original and ,oh my God, truth is stranger than fiction.I'm saving the rest for later.

CC is around - he's been posting on the AIM & Motec thread.

More importantly, he's been enjoying the GCircle we put onto his video CC's 996TT at Gingerman

hehe...he will never learn!!! My problem lies though with the people that give him an instructors ride... If you were organizing an event would you have him as an instructor?

Hi Danny

Based on what DJ said in post #2 in this thread, at least one organizer is wise to him...

Thanks DJ and DAR for the scoops.

Nice video. This data combined with the video is very informative...shows that CC needs to get on the gas much sooner (never on the gas until basically straight...which ain't the fast way). Heck at one point, you can see that he lifted mid turn.

Ghettoracer, Ghettoracer, ghettora... At least he provided hours of entertainment. His thread dragged on for a year.
