Nostalgia Funny Car Fever came to Sacramento Saturday. Jack Beckman, who had the weekend off from NHRA, came to drive the Lee Jennings Camaro funny car. Unfortunately Jack hit the guardrail on both sides, stood the car on its nose and then ended up side down. Jack was OK, but the Camaro was not. So, with Jack not having a ride, he went to the tower and became the extra announcer. Jack did a great job, he knows drag racing, and gave the fans insight into what was happening on the track. Jack also understands the Pro Mod Outlaws, Super Comp, and the dragsters, and told the fans many interesting things. I do hope NHRA will use him if they ever have the chance.
With the show being Funny Car they ran a Jet against a Funny Car, The jet won.
After dark they had a three car Cackle show. The Nitro flames did look great. The Plueger & Gyger Mustang was the winner of the meet. Dean
