Charlene and Gary were infrequent visitors to Napierville and Sanair up here in Quebec where I was a NHRA Tech Inspector.They were always Great People to talk to.I still remember the "Tons of Fun" wagon wheelstands! Condolences to Charlene and Family.

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...

RIP 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.

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.
