In his career, he has won twenty-seven wins and sixteen runner-ups of the two hundred and one races. Beckman hasn't won this year either, but has one runner-up. His career starts are fifteen wins and seventeen runner-ups in one hundred and seventy races. Hight is 13 - 11 against Beckman in prior events and Hight is 5 - 1 against Beckman in prior final rounds. Team DSR vs. Team JFR on the line. No "Double Up" for Beckman this year. He gets a small starting line advantage, but Hight has the better incrementals and is out if front right after that. Any hopes are literally up in smoke before the 330 lights, as Beckman's slicks start to spin. He pumps the pedal to no avail. Hight thunders on ahead and easily wins the Funny Car Championship on a clean and straight pass. Nice! Robert Hight's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(0.010), 330 ft(0.138), 660ft(0.782). MOV: 1.9500 seconds (more than 100 feet). Jack Beckman's incremental times: 60ft-0.938 sec., 330ft-2.499, 660ft-4.122/130.81 mph.
