good job you made me proud again!

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

All hail the King....what a weekend....congrats times 2 !!!!!

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Wow...Holy crap Gary! Congratulations! Talk about breaking out in a big way! Your first Wally certainly didn't have to wait long to have company on the shelf...

Congratulations again Gary...

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Wow Gary GREAT JOB it is a good thing that we did not give you a bill yet for fixing the nose of your car last week. When you won the Lebanon Valley race the bill doubled, now you won E-Town and guess what (it doubled again), Get out that check book!

Anyway from having no wally's to coming home with 2 wally's hmmmmmm who had a better weekend than Gary Federico, ............ NOBODY!

AND I even fixed his generator....and didn't mind the wet sloppy handshake goodbye before round 4. Gary did say to me yesterday he felt like his first win could open the door to more....He was right......Congratulations Gary.......and what's up with NO ice cream machine for your peeps????

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

awesome job gary, you deserve it.

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Gary, awesome job! My girlfriend, dad and myself are very happy for you on both your wins. You definitally deserve it and you're having a great year. See ya at Atco

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Talk about a dream weekend. You can now compare the sizes of the two Wally's yourself! Congrats Gary, couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Does this mean two ice cream machines at the track instead of just one???? Can you super glue the two wallys to the top of them?? LOL

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Great job Gary! Keep it up.
Billy & Shelley:)

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Congrats Gary!! We told you once you get one, the others will follow!!
Great job!!
Oh, by the way - we figured out the bill for all of us being in "2" Winner Circle pictures!! If you want to save some cash, better get that ice cream machine back!!

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Congrats on the double Gary!!! I knew we left too darned soon!!! Talking with you on Thursday night, it was evident you knew what had to be done and you did it!! Now just make sure you take those little men OUT of the darned boxes and display them loud and proud....lol!

See you at Atco!

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Congrats Gary!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told you it would happen.

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Gary, Gary, Gary...

I told you if you wanted that ice cream, you just had to win. Now I don't have a problem giving you ANOTHER ice cream, but two is my limit. Maybe after I get out of 1st round I'll start giving you some more ice cream.

Great Job. We all knew you are over due. See you at Atco (that's where you'll get your ice cream.)

PS. Your bill is ready !!

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

That was the one I was afraid of.

What a weekend, couldnt ask for a better start that to bang out that Wally on Fri, great job by Larry Peotter, who really can drive that finish line. The support I got from my friends was amazing, never in my wildest dreams did I think I could double up. Have to thank my great friend and Crew Chief Walter for all his help, without him, I wouldnt have had a chance. Good Job Bernie Staub who if he didnt redlight would have had my lunch.
Thanks to Tom & Lynn Hoosigian, Lynn who after losing 2nd round rooted for me & supported me as I passed her in the points, both are Class Acts.
Gabe & Judy Perino, Judy who was waiting for me on the return rd after the final nearly broke my neck in a death hug.
I broke a camshaft 3 weeks ago and without James Antontte Sr of JA Performance Race Engines, I dont even get to play
I had a trans problem so I thought, brought it to Ed Alessi Sr & Jr, had it back the same day, what great service.
The car came loose in the trailer the sunday b/4 the race and the nose took quite a beating, without the incredible job that my good friend and mentor, Tommy DePascale along with his son Chris had the nose repaired and ready to go on race day, thank you.

Sam Biondo, oh Sammy your pep talks got me over the hump, thank you.
Johnny Maggs Sr, thank you for the ice cream.
Thank you Jeff Jackson for sharing info with me over the years to make me better.
Having my wife and kids present at the race was amazing.
Everyone at the track who pulled for me , thank you.
Only wish my very special friends, Dave, Debby, Timmy,Bryan & Kenny V could have been there.
Last, to do it at the track where I cut my teeth at , amazing.
Have to stop now or CBS will accuse me of impersonating Jason O.

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Way to go Gary!! Great race in the semi's. How did you like the hand wave going down the track? Good luck in the points chase, you are up against a very tuff croud and you should be very proud of yourself!

Hats off to Lynn & Tom H. How many people do you know that gets passed in the points with one race to go, and still hang out to cheer and help with the paperwork in the winners circle? 2 Words, CLASS ACT!

Hey Gary....Whats better then coming home with the Wally after a weekend of racing? Well that would be coming home with 2! Your the man!

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Great job Gary!!!! ... For a weekend that started pretty badly, you sure shook it off and rose to the task!!! Twice! ... Congratulations ..... Tom

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

aint that the truth pete

gary if i could have the weekend you had i would think i was dreaming. great job

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Too late Gary, and I have to say that your post brought a tear to my eye. Long and eloquent...just the way I like them...

Congrats again!

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Hey Gary!
Tom and I were talking after your phone call the other day! Thought I would share Tom's comment with all those who know you so well!! I think they will agree with him!
After I told him how hyped up you still were - which is normal by the way - he said: "Gary is like a Jack-in-the-Box. When you crank him up, he pops out, bounces around, and is tough to get back in the box!! "
Thought you could use a laugh for the day!!

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

By 4.30 sunday afternoon I was toasted, got a little heat prostration I think, monday i was almost as sick as Drew was sat. I went to work and got thru the day, drank tons of liquids, by tuesday I was back.
Without question the weather was as bad as I can remember it ever being or I need to get in better shape.

Gary

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

I thought about making a wise remark, then I was reminded that ROUND IS a shape !

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Gary, I was sicker than a dog on the Monday after I won. Weird.....

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Very Good Dave!!!

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Hey Gary,

I think it was the level of intensity you maintained all day. Adrenaline is a funny thing and it will bite you AFTER your system comes back to normal and the realization of your accomplishment.

I recently mentioned to my wife that my back has been feeling better this year. It didn't hurt as much on Monday....her reply, "Well, your not getting in and out of the car as much"....DOH!!

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Hey Gary!!! Way to go!!! Just think, I am the only one to beat you that whole weekend, on the 4 tenths pro tree compitition. All kidding aside, you had a great weekend and all of us with SG174 congatulate you and thank you for not being in SG. See you at Atco!!!:D:D:D

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

so damn true

Re: 2nd time a charm
 

Was this post for the races that he won or the number of times he SMASHES the nose?
