After four days of private testing in South Florida when teams tried new parts, pieces and performance, the top teams in NHRA drag racing including the seven-car Don Schumacher Racing contingent were finally able to race side by side Friday night.

And the best efforts were produced by Don Schumacher Racing.

The most impressive run of the night was in Funny Car when Jack Beckman and crew chief Rahn Tobler produced a stunning 4.037-second, 312.35-mph run in the Valvoline NextGEN Dodge Charger R/T before about 4,000 at Palm Beach International Raceway.

It was the quickest run ever for Beckman.

Beckman’s run was against teammate and reigning NHRA Funny Car champion Matt Hagan, whose Aaron’s Dream Machine lost traction early in the race.
