Jack Beckman has only been a professional drag racer for four national events. At Englishtown the driving instructor from Frank Hawley's Drag Racing School made it to the semi-finals, where he lost to Dave Grubnic with a 4.663 to the Aussie's 4.548. "We might have a part-time crew but they're sure looking like a full-time pro team and I couldn't be more proud of their efforts," Beckman said. (Bret Kepner photo)
