Well, here's a first for this little ol' game, we've got 5 players tied for the Top Qualifier title for the 2018 Fitzgerald USA NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals...and they all have the same picks!
Congratulations to 'alsant' (FBBO), 'Back in Time' (FABO), 'Budnicks' (FBBO), 'cuda20' (FABO) and 'johnnycuda' (FABO). Each ended up with 21.5 bonus points by picking the #1 qualifier in both Funny Car and Pro Stock, and the #6 qualifier in Top Fuel.
'64BEL' (FBBO) grabbed the runner-up spot with 19.5 bonus points.

Way to go!!
Good luck all in eliminations tomorrow!

We have 14 players again this week but only 9 different driver combos made up of:
* 5 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in Round 2 if both drivers win their opening round of eliminations.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers with one Round 1 head-to-head matchup between #6 qualifier John Force (1 pick) and #11 qualifier Ron Capps (4 picks). There is a possibility of one head-to-head matchups in Round 2 of eliminations.
* 4 different Pro Stock drivers picked this week with one Round 1 head-to-head matchups between #6 qualifier Jason Line (1 pick) and #11 qualifier Erica Enders-Stevens (1 pick). No possibility of a head-to-head matchup in Round 2 of eliminations.

Good luck all!

Mother Nature may not be a drag racing fan this weekend and may make getting the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals in this weekend a bit problematic.
The current weather forecast shows light rain currently in the Norwalk, Ohio, area with thunderstorms from 2-7PM EDT today. The Saturday forecast currently shows rain showers continuing overnight increasing to thunderstorms from 8AM-4PM EDT.
The Sunday forecast shows partly sunny skies up until 4PM EDT when rain showers are again forecast for about an hour.
Cross your fingers and let's hope they can get qualifying in during any break in the weather today and tomorrow.
 
Yep. I’m here getting rained on all weekend. Only ran one round of qualifying today and canceled all the Q2 rounds and the fireworks tonight. Sad face.
