2022 12th Annual FABO NHRA "Pick 'Em" Game - Time To Burn Some More NITRO!!!
Neither 'ksurfer2' (FBBO), 'Rat Bastid' (FABO), or 'shittyslant6' (FABO) made picks for the first round of the 'Countdown' and they did not have "locked" picks. By game rules they will end the game with the points they earned during only the regular season. I will show their points following the end of the 2022 game.
Congratulations to both 'memike' (FABO) and 'ocdart' (FABO) for winning the "Top Picker Eliminator" title for the 2022 Pep Boys NHRA Nationals with very nice totals of 156.5 points each. Both their Funny Car and Pro Stock picks won their class. Their Top Fuel and Pro Stock Motorcycle picks lost in the second round of eliminations. He were both helped with ET bonus points in both Top Fuel and Pro Stock Motorcycle, and Speed bonus points in Top Fuel, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
