Racin’ and Rockin’:Top Fuel World Champ Gary Beck on Racin’ & Rockin’! by Bill Pratt. Join us on Monday night, May 16, as we are joined by one of the most dominating drag racers of his era, two time Top Fuel World Champion Gary Beck! Gary won Indy 72 just ONE MONTH after obtaining his fuel license, then remained one of the top cars throughout the 70s. Then came the 1980s, and Gary’s partnership with farming magnate Larry Minor resulted in the sport’s first 5.50, 5.40, and 5.30 times. His 1983 season was one of crushing dominance and resulted in another world championship. BE THERE!
