super-bee_Ski (FBBO) decided to self-quarantine for the remainder of the 2020 NHRA season. I hope he returns next year.
The 4th race of the 2020 season, the Lucas Oil NHRA Summernationals at Indianapolis, is next weekend, July 18-19 right back at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis, IN. As always, your picks need to be posted before Pro Qualifying starts on Saturday, March 13 in order to qualify for all event bonus points. Nitro class qualifying is scheduled to start at 12:15PM EDT (9:15AM PDT). Neither Pro Stock nor Pro Stock Motorcycle will compete at this event. The Summernationals entry list is posted on NHRA.com and currently shows 16 Top Fuel and 18 Funny Car entries. Keep checking http://www.nhra.com/events/entrylist03.aspx for an updated entry list. For whatever it may be worth, when I checked the Summernationals online entries earlier this week all of the Force cars were entered. Today they don't show. Get your picks posted and GOOD LUCK!
