2018 8th Annual FABO NHRA "Pick 'Em" Game - Time For Your NITRO Fix! Here We Go Again!!!
First, after getting the results straight after watching the TV coverage replay, there were some changes in the qualifying results. I corrected the post with the qualifying results.
Here are the results and point standings following completion of the Toyota Sonoma Nationals, the 15th event of the 2018 NHRA season and the second of three consecutive weekends of racing on the Western Swing.
Congratulations to game leader 'stroked340' (FABO) for winning the "Top Picker Eliminator" title with a point total of 119.0. His Funny Car pick lost in the final round of eliminations, his Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle picks both lost in the semi-finals, and his Top Fuel pick lost in the second round of eliminations. He was helped with ET bonus points in Pro Stock Motorcycle and Speed bonus points in Pro Stock. 'Duster79' (FABO) was the event runner-up with 115.0 points.
