We have 13 players this week and 11 different driver combos made up of:
* 6 different Top Fuel drivers with one Round 1 head-to-head matchup between #5 qualifier Doug Kalitta (1 pick) and #12 qualifier Tony Schumacher (1 pick). There is a possibility of another head-to-head matchup in Round 2 if both picks survive Round 1.
* 7 different Funny Car drivers with one Round 1 head-to-head matchup between #1 qualifier Ron Capps (1 pick) and #16 qualifier John Force (6 picks). There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchups in Round 2 if all of the picks survive Round 1.
* 4 different Pro Stock drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of a head-to-head matchup in Round 2 if both drivers survive Round 1.

Good luck all!

Hey RB -

The picks shown above were your picks last weekend for the NHRA Winternationals. Since you didn't make any mention of "locking" these picks for the season, you still need to make new picks for the NHRA Arizona Nationals before qualifying starts today at 6:30PM EST (3:30PM PST) if you want to be eligible for event bonus points. Since you are a new player this year, as a reminder please review the following from Post #1 of this thread:
Since all of us get busy from time to time, our computers may break down, or we just forget to post our picks. So, in an effort to keep everyone in the game for the "regular season", if you don't get your picks posted before the first round of Pro Qualifying for any "regular season" race after the Winternationals I will use your picks from the previous race event. That's the benefit - you will be guaranteed to have picks for elimination rounds. The penalty is, your picks will not be eligible for event bonus points.
As said before, you still have the option of "locking in" your picks for the entire season if you think you may have trouble getting your picks posted sometime during the season.
Your picks will be eligible for event bonus points if you "lock" them in, but not if you just forget to post them or can't post event picks for whatever reason.
This "pick carry over" feature is only in effect for the "regular season". It will not be in effect for the six-event "Countdown to the Championship" at the end of the season.

Of course, you can always "lock" your picks for the season. Again, from Post #1:
You can also "lock" your picks in for the entire season if you wish. Just post that you want them "locked". You can always "unlock" them to make a change by posting your changes in this thread. Your revised picks will then be "locked" until you make future changes.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!
