Gary,
It's time to use tie down straps instead of bungee cords...LOL:eek:

Gary told me he is using the 'tie down straps' to hold all his 'Wallies' in place at home. Just think, if he wins another race (and he will), the poor race car won't even have the bungee cords to hold it down.

Gary's car soon will only go 10.90 @ 134 with all the weight of the glass in the nose. Guess he wont have to worry about the front end snapping up out of the beams.

P.S. Gary if this happens again we will have to drag you behind the car by your TE***CLES! You better win the Division the Nose is gonna cost a FORTUNE to fix now! LOL

Ya know...he did say something to me about taking the stripe with the nose of the car...didnt realize that he meant he was gonna practice in the trailer...

Good thing you're outta races Gary....the car might not survive another trip to the track !!!!

Gary,

must be a "Hopewell Junction" thing... I don't even know what happened to your car (I can kinda guess from the message thread) -- but don't feel too bad... I was almost at the rest area on I-287 north after Englishtown before I realized that I forgot to put the donut under the dragster chassis -- and then it occurred to me that I hadn't bothered to tie down the dragster at all! Got (very) lucky -- everything was still in one piece...

srm

At Atco the first question I had for Gary, after the "incident, part 2" was,"Didn't you have the car in park?"....well, needless to say I will be offering up a 4' metal rod, so that he can properly place the car in the "no roll" gear!

Seriously though, you should bolt chocks to the floor, that way the car is winched in to a certain spot and won't be able to move forward....then you can use the bungee cords on the rear....just remember to double them up...GN's weigh a little more than the stock rating on the cords....

....ok, I'm done~!

Congrats on Winning your Division, those gold cards are worth a lot of money and respect.

Good Job.

Congrats Gary, way to go on the gold card & the gold men. Now if you can keep the thing tied down, you will be in good shape!

Re: GARYGOFAST giving lessons on how to tie your car down.
 
Wow...You won the division Gary?!?! Congratulations! Not bad for a guy that was whining at the beginning of the season that he hadn't won anything! ;) j/k!

Congrats again. Hopefully one of the division sponsors will present you with some new ratchet tie-downs at the D1 banquet...

Re: GARYGOFAST giving lessons on how to tie your car down.
 
Garys 1st student was George Millers 55 Chevy which I might say was unsuccesful because when I arrived in Columbus I was asked if I brought my Gary Federico repair kit which includes sand paper ,resin ,cloth & gloves for his front bumper! Take it from there !
PS Congrats Gary ,Just a reminder I do not accept Gold Cards for repairs unless they are VISA,MASTER CARD , DISCOVER, or AMEX!!!!!!!!!!!

CBS 10-03-2007 01:08 PM

Re: GARYGOFAST giving lessons on how to tie your car down.
 
now that's what I was looking for.....its amazing the trailer wasn't torn up more....maybe you need a brake pedal like a golf cart that can lock when you put it in the trailer.......that way if the tie downs come loose (again) the car won't crash.....

Notice to anyone going to the Dutch Classic...

Gary is using my car and trailer to race super gas, I will tie it down for him before he leaves, can someone please make sure its tied down before he heads back...
I know Tommy D but not sure I'll ge the same deal that Gary would, as I heard that Tom gives repeat customers a discount..

Don't worry, Kenny! We'll make sure it is secure before he leaves!!!!

Tom DePascale 10-10-2007 07:52 PM

Re: GARYGOFAST giving lessons on how to tie your car down.
 
Everyone gets the same treatment as Gary (The Rachet Strap Man) Federico gets ! I will say this I heard thru the grapevine that Gary will help Continental Airlines secure the luggage at Newark Airport when we go to Vegas in 2 weeks !! Everyone going on the Tommy De Vegas trip should be prepared to buy new clothing when we get there!! Also Chris & I will not be @ The Dutch Classic to do any trackside repairs please bring own body man! Somehow this service became very popular cause when I arrived in Virginia I was asked to repair Chuck Trotter's front end!!!!
