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.
