RIP Gary. I pray that God will watch over and comfort Charlene, family and friends during this time.

Re: Tons A Fun Pontiac Wagon-Gary Wood
I remember being near the starting line @ Cayuga points meet and every round of stock when Charlene would get near the finish line Gary would yell "get on the breaks!". Cool car...

Re: Tons A Fun Pontiac Wagon-Gary Wood
Always enjoyed it when they came to Utica Rome Dragway way back when. They were always tough competitors. I really enjoyed reconnecting with Charlene at this year's D1 banquet where she was inducted into the D1 Hall of Fame.

Re: Tons A Fun Pontiac Wagon-Gary Wood
Gary built lots of Pontiacs. Said he built quite a few '68 Birds, & somebody would always wanna buy 'em before he could race 'em very long.
Besides at least 2 Tons-a-Fun wagons, he also raced a 2nd gen Bird & a '72 GTO. Because of the wagons, they were among my earliest Pontiac heroes. Last edited by oldskool; 05-31-2020 at 08:28 AM. |
