I got a message from Marty Schorr regarding the article above..

"Saw the postings for Frank and some references (in OLD CARS and VETTE VIEWS) and I should let you know that Joel Rosen NEVER brought any Motion Corvettes or Baldwin-Motion cars to Frank to be "dialed-in." Joel got his Clayton Chassis dyno in 1963, some four years before starting Baldwin-Motion with me, when he raced a fuel-injected split window coupe, THE SKUNK. Joel was a FI Corvette expert and certainly had no reason to ever bring big-block cars to Frank, whose specialty was road racing FI small-block Corvettes.
When Joel relocated Motion to Baldwin, NY, in 1965, he moved his dyno with him.
Frank is a dear friend of mine, as is Joel Rosen, and really not sure how those comments came up in the John Gunnell interviews. I believe Gunnell will be talking with Rosen to straighten it out.
I did the first story on Frank's #69 Corvette (VETTE Magazine), now owned by Mike Yager, when it was owned by Jan Hyde. "
