Notes: Gary had a great year in '74. He started the season at Irwindale's Grand Premiere race on January 12. The eight Top Fuel cars in the show were all members of the Cragar Five-Second Club. There was no qualifying as starting positions were drawn from a hat. Beck faced off against Tommy Ivo in the first round, but he got out of shape, and his 7.58/128.20 lost to Ivo's 6.57/208. One week later (January 27), Gary was at Beeline Dragway for the AHRA Winternationals, where he qualified #3 with a 6.10/233.76. In the first round, he beat Dick LaHaie's 6.26/229 with a 6.15/231.95. In round two, another 6.15 at 230.76 beat Bruce Walker's 6.40/222. But in the semifinals, he tossed a blower belt on the line and watched as eventual winner Mike Wagoner singled into the final. Beck went to Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals and strutted his stuff. A 6.02/240.00 qualified #4, and he improved to a first-round 5.96/239.36 while beating John Austin. His times kept getting quicker, as in round two, a 5.90/223.88 beat John Wiebe's 6.27/226. He uncorked Low ET of the meet in the semifinal with a 5.842/226.13 over Pat Dakin. In the final, he was up against Jerry Ruth, and Ruth's 6.21/226 lost to Beck's strong 5.91/243.24 (Top Speed). This showing really made an impression on the rest of the field, showing that Beck was tough to beat as the season wore on. In March, Beck qualified #3 at Bakersfield for the March Meet with a 6.11/198.66. He beat a crossed-up Gary Ormsby in the first round, and in round two, he got a single when Billy Tidwell failed to show. In the third round, he beat Larry Dixon's Chevy, but it was a costly win as he hurt the motor and could not come back and run Carl Olson in the semifinal. At the NHRA Gatornationals, Beck qualified #1 with a 6.01 (Low ET) at 235.60. A first-round 6.19/225.56 beat Paul Longenecker, and in round two, he lost an engine, but his 6.32/186.72 still beat Jim Hundley. With a new "bullet" installed, Gary got a break in the semifinal when Jim Murphy lost a transmission. Beck was ready for the final against Dave Settles in the "Candies and Hughes" car, but he got a little too excited and fouled, handing Settles the win. At the NHRA Division 1 Opener at Englishtown, Gary qualified on the pole, but he failed to make the finals of the eight-car show. He more than made up for it by winning the second NHRA Division 1 race at Cayuga Dragway Park in Ontario, Canada. He beat a tire-smoking Jim Bucher in the first round, and a 6.43/227.84 beat Tony Ceraolo in the semifinal. Beck then set Low ET and Top Speed in the final with a 6.38/231.95 that beat Sarge Arciero's 6.77/225 for the victory. Another win came at the fifth annual Northwest Open at Seattle. It was an eight-car show that had 21 cars trying to qualify. Gary qualified #2 with a 6.24/231.36. He picked up his pace to a first-round 5.95/236.84 (Top Speed) to beat Terry Capp's 6.43/231. In the semifinals, he set Low ET with a track record 5.94/226.13 over Hank Johnson. In the final, he smoked to a 6.48/236.84 that beat Ernie Hall's troubled 7.37/221. It was another impressive win for Beck as he was the only car in the fives. Yet the wins kept coming. On June 9, he scored again at the NHRA Springnationals at National Trail. He qualified #2 with a 6.03/242.58. A first-round 6.09/230.17 beat Flip Schofield, and in round two, a 6.03/236.22 beat Grant Stoms. In the semifinals, he set Low ET with a 5.98/245.23 over Wiebe. In the final, he ran low qualifier Olson. Beck roared to a 6.05/247.25 (Top Speed) for the win over Carl's 6.26. He went over to AHRA for its Springnationals at Spokane Raceway. Once again, he took the win. He got to Wiebe again in the semifinals with his 6.15/226.70, beating John's 6.47/196. In the final, he met Don Garlits. When these two raced, it was always worth watching. This time was no different, but Beck whipped the "old man" with a 6.00 (Low ET) at 232.55 over Don's 6.36/230. Gary got knocked back down to earth at the AHRA Grand American at Kansas City on July 7. He qualified #4 in the eight-car field with a 6.43/211.76, and in the first round, he lost to the #8 qualifier Chris Karamesines when his 6.79 fell to Chris' 6.51. The following week (July 14), he was back at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals. The team was a little off here as Beck only qualified #13 with a 6.41/229.00. He picked up to 6.32/230.76 in the first round, over Arciero's close 6.35/238, but in round two, he fell off to 6.61/225.56 in a loss to Chuck Kurzawa's 6.39/227. At the third NHRA Division 1 race at Maple Grove, he qualified #4 in the eight-car field and lost to #8 qualifier Hank Endres' 6.37/217 in the first round, with a quicker 6.35/222.22. After a couple of bad weeks, people were quick to say that Beck had lost his combination, but all that went away when they went to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. Gary ran Sanair's first "five" when he qualified #1 with a 5.91 at 223.32. The second qualifier was Settles, way back at 6.27. In round one, Beck ran 6.20/219.51 to beat Stoms' 6.34/226. In the second round, he hurt his engine while running 5.94/242.58 while beating Jeb Allen's 6.35/218. Lady Luck stepped in, and it rained. This postponed the race until Monday, giving Beck and his crew time to install a new motor for the semifinals. In the semifinals, Jim Bucher smoked his tires against him, and Gary advanced with a 6.28. He faced Settles in the final, and Dave must have been a little nervous seeing Beck's times. Settles fouled away a 6.39 while Beck grabbed the victory with a 6.34/217.91. After such a strong showing, it was surprising that he failed to qualify at the PHR Championships. Although he was not alone as 39 cars had attempted to qualify for the sixteen-car field. Almost as many (38) showed up at New York National for the PRO race on August 17. It was quite a bit easier to qualify as it was a 32-car field. Beck's 6.28/198.66 qualified #14. He improved to 6.07/217.80 in the first round, to beat Dale Thierer, but in the second round, he lost an engine, and his 6.58/169.49 fell to Jim Walther's 6.19/228. Began 1974 season with Beck & Peets on the car before acquiring cigarette manufacturer "Export A" as a sponsor. Won 1974 NHRA World Championship. Photo from the 1974 NHRA Gatornationals, Gainesville, Florida. Ran 5.940/248.61 at Ontario in 10/74. Ran 5.842 at Winters, 6.01 at Gators, 5.98 at Springs, 6.31 at Summers, 6.21 at Indy, 5.94 at Supernationals, 5.91 at Sanair. Beck won Winternats, Springnats, Grandnats.

Notes: Low ET and Top Speed at the season-opening Winternationals at 5.937/244.56. Runner up to Garlits at IHRA Bristol in June 1975, 6.10/238.72 to 6.18/225.56. Won IHRA Dragway 42 over Garlits, 6.00 to 6.03, both at 245.23, in August 1975. | After a great '74 season, Gary was hoping for more in '75. The season started at Beeline Dragway for the AHRA Winternationals. He qualified #5 in the sixteen-car field and lasted until the semifinals, where his 6.42/229.00 lost to James Warren's 6.35/206. Gary then went to Pomona, where his 5.97/239.36 qualified #2. He set both Low ET and Top Speed with a 5.93/244.46 over Don Souter in the first round. Unfortunately, in round two, he smoked the tires to a 6.49/212.26 loss to Rick Ramsey's 6.18/211. He passed up racing at the Bakersfield March Meet. His next stop was at Miami Hollywood for the IHRA Winternationals. It was an eight-car field, and Beck 6.00 (Low ET) was two-tenths quicker than the second qualifier. But in the opening round of eliminations, he lost an engine and slowed to 6.41 in a loss to Austin Myers' 6.22. It was then off to Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Gary's 6.19 qualified #7, and in round one, he had more bad luck as he tossed a blower belt against Hank Endres. After a few weeks off, Beck went to Amarillo, Texas, for the IHRA World Nationals. Things didn't go so well, as he failed to qualify for the eight-car show. He also didn't do too well when he faced off against Jerry Ruth for a best-of-three-match race at Mission BC. Gary lost all three of his races. Things went much more Beck's style at the second NHRA Division 1 race held at Cayuga. He won the event by beating Charlie Greer's 6.67/218 with a 6.36/205.94. He set Low ET and Top Speed in the semifinals with a 6.25/231.95 that sent Grant Stoms' 6.46/227 packing for home. He had his closest race in the final, where his 6.47/204.08 beat Larry Bucher's 6.48/200. Early in June, he was at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. His 6.11/227.84 qualified #6. In the opening round of eliminations, his 6.22/222.77 beat Frank Bradley's 6.21/222. But in round two, Beck broke on the line, letting eventual winner Marvin Graham solo into the semifinal with a 6.23. Set the national record at Ontario, only to have Garlits better it and pass Gary for the world championship. Ran 5.74 for the low qualifier at the 1975 World Finals.

Notes: Gary debuted the "Thrush Muffler" car in May at the NHRA Division 6 race in Seattle. He qualified #1 for the sixteen-car field with a 6.13, and he beat James Warren and Larry Kleinbrook in the first two rounds before losing to eventual winner Herm Petersen's 6.23/234 with an off-pace 7.71/122. He won the Division 1 race at Cayuga, and shortly after that, he won the third Division 3 race at Blaney. The car made its first national event showing at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. Gary was having a rough time making the field, as it took five attempts before his 6.23 qualified him #12 for the show. It was a little embarrassing when, in the first round, his 6.65 lost to Graham Light's 6.24. Light was driving Beck's old car. Things didn't go much better at the NHRA Summernationals at Englishtown. Beck qualified #12, and in the opening round, his 6.14/227.84 beat John Wiebe's 6.14/234. But in round two, his off-pace 6.66/161.29 was lost to Jeb Allen's 6.13/227. A week later (July 17), he was in Seattle for the first race of the PDA Championships. He didn't reach the final but set Low ET and Top Speed at 5.99/238.09. At the second PDA race run at Fremont on July 24, he failed to reach the finals again, but he had a Top Speed at 243.93. He showed them at the last PDA race held at OCIR. He qualified #3 for the 32-car show with a 6.15 at only 212.76, but it was a long way back from Don Garlits, who qualified #1 with a 5.90/241. A first-round 6.17/218 beat Larry Dixon, and in round two, Gary's 6.16/233 took out Mike Reynolds. In round three, he really stepped it up, running 5.84/241.93 to beat Rob Bruins' 6.11/227. That set up a semifinal meeting with Garlits, who had run 5.82/245 in his third-round race. Beck cut a great light and made this race worth the cost of admission. His 5.89/236.22 beat "Big Daddy's" better 5.83/244. Beck went on to win by beating Ken Moitoza in a smoke-filled final. Gary's final round numbers were 6.43/226.70. He was in Canada the following week (August 8) for the NHRA Grandnationals. It was another excellent outing for the team. He qualified #2 with a 6.02/233.76 behind Richard Tharp's 6.02/236 in the "Candies and Hughes" car. It was these two who would meet for the money. Beck started eliminations with a 6.38 over Frank Bradley, and in round two, his 6.14/241.93 beat Tom Kaiser. He got the odd-lot solo in the semifinals and ran 5.96/224.43. Tharp was also putting down some numbers. He had run 6.01, 5.98, and a semifinal 5.97. It was anyone's race in the final, but Beck made his fellow Canadians happy by setting a track record 5.81 at 243.24 (Top Speed) to get the win over Tharp's 6.08/199. Garlits got payback on Beck at the PHR Championships. Don qualified #1 for the sixteen-car field, and Gary's 6.12 got him the #9 spot in the show. This meant that the two ran each other in the first round. Garlits ran 5.88/238 to put the "Thrushmobile's" 6.18/216.86 on the trailer. Beck then went to Beech Bend for the final NHRA Division 3 race. He qualified #1 with a track record 5.90 at 224.43 and in the final Mike Palmer broke so Gary's 5.99/215.82 picked up the win.

Notes: Beck had a rough season in '77. The season started at the PRO race at Beeline on January 14. Beck ran 6.28/204.54 in Friday's qualifying, but that is all the info we have from that race. He ran at Tucson for the AHRA Winternationals on January 23. Gary qualified #5 in the sixteen-car field with a 6.55. He improved to a first-round 6.38/203.60 to beat Arley Langlo, but in round two, his 6.52 lost to Ron Attebury's 6.44. At Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, his best of 6.140/219.51 failed to qualify, and he failed to make the field at the Gatornationals as well at 6.320. He ran better at the Edgewater Division 3 race, qualifying #2 with a 6.09/205.46, but he failed to make it to the finals. He qualified #3 for the eight-car show at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals at 6.265/206.89, but in the first round, his 6.38/225.00 lost to Pat Dakin's 6.20/231. At St. Louis for the AHRA Gateway Nationals, he qualified #8 in the eight-car field with a 6.82/165.14. He picked up to a 6.47/223.89 in the first round to beat Attebury's 6.54/208. A 6.39/213.28 beat Ron Collins' Chevy-powered car in the semifinal. In the final, he met Jeb Allen, and despite running a 6.42/230.18, he lost to Jeb's 6.34/229. Gary experienced a violent engine explosion during qualifying for the NHRA Springnationals. The car caught fire, but Gary brought it to a safe stop. He was OK. He qualified #7 with a 6.078/215.82, but a first-round 6.32 lost to Paul Longenecker's 6.22. He managed to get into another final round at the third Division 3 race at US 131, Martin, Mich. He qualified #2 with a 6.13/217.39 and beat Larry Brown in the first round with a 6.22/229.59. He blew another engine in the semifinals, but his 6.13/227.84 still beat Sid Seeley's 6.18/202. A new motor was installed for the final with Shirley Muldowney, and it performed, running 6.26/213.77. But this was Shirley's race, and she won with a 6.06/240 (Top Speed). One of the few bright spots in the year came at Alamo Dragway in San Antonio for the AHRA Nationals on July 3. Beck qualified #4 in the eight-car field with a 6.44. In the first round, a 6.64 beat Doug Mead's 7.14. In round two, he lost to Frank Bradley, but Frank blew his engine while winning, and Beck got back in on the "break rule." So, in the final, he faced Jimmy Edwards. Edwards lost a blower belt, and Gary drove to a 6.62/197 victory. At Englishtown the following week (July 10), Beck had difficulty qualifying. He finally made the show on the "bump spot" with a 6.200/226.70 but lost to Lee Weller in the first round. Things seemed to be taking a turn at Dragway 42 for the AHRA Grandnationals at the end of July. The team towed in and qualified #1 with a 6.12/236.22. He recorded a 5.98/243.90 in the first round to beat Longenecker's 6.53/185. In the semifinals, he set track records of 5.91/245.90 over Dick LaHaie's 6.33/198. The track ET record going into this race was a 6.01 by Don Garlits. Unfortunately, in the final, he slowed to a 6.15/244.56, losing to Bradley's 6.09/243. The next event on his calendar was the NHRA Grandnationals. There, he qualified #2 with a 6.070/236.22 and, in round one, beat Jeg Coughlin with a 6.14/224.43. In the semifinals (eight-car show), he lost to Dakin's 6.10/234 with a 6.17/233. Gary competed at the PHR Championships at US 131, lasting until the semifinals. He scored wins over Allen and Paul Romine with times of 5.97 and 5.96 before the engine came up ailing in the semis, and his 6.93 lost to eventual winner Johnny Abbott's 6.59. He got another victory on August 21 at Spokane for the AHRA World Finals. He set Low ET at 6.05 and, in the final, beat Allen for the title with a 6.24/227. Gary qualified #6 at Indy Nationals with a 5.962/236.84, but lost to James Warren in round one, with a shut off 7.33. He did not qualify at Seattle, running 6.12/229. Gary was said to have run a 5.99/199 motor-blowing run at the Ontario World Finals, but he does not appear on the NHRA qualifying sheets.
