2003 POWERade Super Comp Champ Fast Jack Beckman
drove Dennis Murphy’s Ground Zero Omni
into the winner’s circle defeating Jim
Scott Jr. in the final round. It was a late
one as the two cars fired at midnight.
Gary Densham was on hand with
his son Steven driving the family flopper.
The Denshams failed to qualify for the event
as a frustrated Gary remarked after their
final attempt, “What the hell was that?”
This may be the team of the future after
Gary’s final season with John Force
Racing.
Number 1 qualifier Steve Romanazzi
laid down a near-perfect 7.502/182.29 to
pocket the Bar’s Leaks Qualifier bonus.
Chula Vista, California’s Pete Cogswell
qualified 11th and ran strong making it to the
semi’s where he lost on a red light to
event winner Beckman. Cogswell collected the
Enderle Quick Reaction Time bonus for his .001
in the second round.
As with any summer
drag strip outing there’s a good
chance you’ll find three girls riding
in the back of a ‘57 Chevy wagon.
