On the track, the competition was as fierce as ever.

With a stellar track underneath them Nitro Jam’s top stars posted some incredible numbers, none more so than reigning AMSOIL Prostalgia Nitro Funny Car World Champion Peter Gallen. The Broomall, Pennsylvania, native posted two blistering laps on the cool Florida evening to take his fourth Funny Car win in a row and stake his claim as the fastest Funny Car on the east coast.

Gallen had laps of 5.775, 248.29 and 5.794, 246.12 on the PBIR quarter mile to put the purple and gold “Poverty Stricken” Monza in the winner’s circle once again. In the final opponent Mike Halstead ran into trouble immediately off the line and coasted across the line in the “Candies & Hughes” entry with an 8.345, 122.05 in the runner-up effort.

Both of Gallen’s laps were without issue as the Pennsylvania native continues to make a name for himself only a few years after rejoining the sport.
