Good for him! He's been out there trying for quite some time.

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
 

Congratulations Gary.

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
 

Congrats to Gary! Love it when the slow car sets the hook and then brings home the big fish.

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
 

Great Job Gary!

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
 

But it is so hard to do on a consistent basis with a slow car and a front wheel drive one to boot. He has had a good season. And done a heck of a driving job!

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
 

Congrats, Gary!

Oh, and BTW, in case you didn't know it , Junior Stock lives!

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton

Congratulations on your win, Gary!
I have a new hero.

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
 

Congrats! I love it when a slow class car wins, I really love it when a FWD class car wins. I enjoy odd ball combinations, station wagons, FWD's, and inline 4 and 6 bangers. I miss all these cars that used to be in the staging lanes. Don Jackson.

Holy Cow Gary!!! I called Mister perfect after the first round triple Zero. It went to your head in a good way. Great job my friend! Enjoy!!

Gary and I pitted next to each other for years. Kept getting us confused....both with Red race cars. We are about the same height so I would say that I am the "fat" Gary (Hansen)...I learned some valuable life lessons from Gary. Congrats my friend.

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
 

Congrats Gary well done.

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
 

Awesome job Gary! You can cut the bait part now that everybody knows you the shark! Man, talk about some close races, .005 MOV 2nd round, double BO decided on RT in the 3rd and a dead heat in the semis! You proved FWD racers matter. Very happy for you and proud to call you a friend. Enjoy crossing this off your bucket list. Hope you don't need a bigger hat, I'm sure this will help bring you out of your shell, LOL!

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
 

Thanks to all of you for your posts. That's now my best moment in racing, since I won the D5 Street Eliminator Championship Waaay back in 1981, with a '73 Pontiac Ventura (350 V8 2bbl), that was 3sec's slower in the 1/4 mile, than Shark Bait is, and that was at Thunder Valley Dragway, in Marion, SD!

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
 

Congrats Gary! Been waiting to see you and that FWD put up a win!

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
 

I have bite marks from the shark at both ends of the track from Round 3 on Friday. He bit me on the the tree and again at the stripe!

Congratulations Gary - you were on fire all weekend!
