Comments: What can you say... Great driver... Great car....  This photo is probably from the 2nd year of Gary's trip "up north", and Gary would go on to accomplish many great things in his racing career...., and would get the verge of superstardom on the national stage... only to have it all come crashing down. 

Gary has paid the price... and that price may be more than we'll ever know, but I think most would agree that they're glad to hear that Gary is looking to be involved in the racing community (August 2010), and I hope that someone gives Gary an opportunity.

08.23.10 Jack Kromer Nice picture. Look at those Firestone drag 500's on the 73.
08.23.10 Kevin Eckert That's after a Friday win at Bridgeport in 1975 with the Whip Mulligan car on Drag 500s. Balough jumped to the Statewide Weld car to open '76 but by summer, rejoined Ferraiuolo to write history with their gleaming Grant King car.

Whatever happened happened nothing can take away the shear talent this driver has.
