NHRA is not showing TV coverage of the final round of qualifying so I will not post qualifying bonus points until tomorrow. It may not be until after the race TV coverage because our monthly Inland Mopars Car Club meeting is tomorrow morning.​

You have two choices - but you won't be eligible for event bonus points in either case:
* You can let your choices from the last event roll over to this event, or
* You can make new picks as long as you post them before the start of eliminations on Sunday
Post what you choose to do.

 
Congratulations to 'cuda20' (FABO) and 'cuda20' (FABO) for winning the Top Qualifier title of the 2018 SpringNationals with a nice total of 22.0 bonus points each. He picked the #1 qualifier in both Funny Car and Pro Stock, and the #5 qualifier in Top Fuel.
'alsant' (FBBO), 'Duster79' (FBBO), 'Nick2317' (FBBO) and 'super-bee_ski' (FBBO) all tied for the runner-up spot with 21.5 bonus points. Way to go!
Good luck all in eliminations tomorrow!

We have 14 players again this week with 11 different driver combos made up of:
* 5 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There could be one head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations if they both survive the opening round.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers with no Round 1 or Round 2 head-to-head matchups.
* 4 different Pro Stock drivers picked this week. No Round 1 head-to-head matchups but a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations.

Good luck all!
 
I was away from a TV all day yesterday and didn't see the SpringNationals results until late last night.
I'll try and get the results posted tonight but no guarantee - might be tomorrow at the latest.
