Veteran driver Jack Beckman<\/strong> earned his 38th career NHRA National event title during Saturday\u2019s delayed running for NHRA’s New England Nationals – held 6 days later at Bristol Dragway <\/em>– during qualifying for the Thunder Valley Nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That occurrence was a consequence of some ill-timed rain which hit New England Dragway immediately prior to that scheduled final round – June 7th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beckman, driving the JFR Team Peak-presented Camaro managed to also reverse the outcome for the New England Dragway’s Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty Challenge competition (June 6th) during which he lost that final round decision to JFR team mate Jordan Vandergriff — who had won that particular match by a 3.913 secs to 3.953 secs margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time (for the event championship), Beckman reversed his fate — by running a winning 4.017 secs at 318.54 mph when Vandergriff (the #1 qualifier) lost traction and shut off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Fast Jack” — who had qualified #2 at New England, had defeated Phil Burkhart, Matt Hagan and Ron Capps in rounds prior to the unscheduled “wet stuff” interruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
