Outlawed Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Don Frankish sold his trucks but still has a ride truck that he operates. There have been rumblings for a while that a close friend of his is building a truck that he was planning on letting Don drive a few times but as a full time competition driver he is retired Also Paul Cohen is also retired though he does alot of fabrication work at the Digger Dungeon.

Hagan Moskau Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Nathan Weenk still drives, but he is more like a fill-in driver, like Chad Tingler. His last show was back in Mexico of 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
