Mother Nature turned the 2022 Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals sideways to such an extent that Pro Stock Motorcycle couldn't complete a single round of qualifying and the elimination ladder was set as the result of 2021 season-ending class points. As a result 'ocdart' ended up with an OK total of 30.5 bonus points. He picked the #1 qualifiers in Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle, and the #4 qualifier in Top Fuel.
'alsant' (FBBO), ' Back in Time' (FABO) and 'shittyslantsix' (FABO) were right behind sharing the #2 qualifier spot with 30.0 bonus points.
More great picks!

We have 14 players this week and 12 different driver combos made up of:
* 4 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 picks survive Round 1.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers with one Round 1 head-to-head matchup between #2 qualifier Tim Wilderson (1 pick) and #15 qualifier John Force (2 picks). There is also a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in Round 2 if both drivers survive Round 1.
* 4 different Pro Stock 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 survive Round 1.
* 4 different Pro Stock Motorcycle drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. The earliest possibility of a head-to-head matchup is in the semi-final round of elimincations.

Good luck all!


 
Congratulations to both 'memike' (FABO) and 'SSG Karg' (FABO) for sharing the "Top Picker Eliminator" title for the 2022 Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals with a nice total of 98.0 points.

They were each helped with both ET and Speed bonus points in Pro Stock.

Neither @memike nor @Rat Bastid posted picks before qualifying started today so no qualifying bonus points for either of them.
But they can still post picks before Sunday eliminations and pick up round win points.
C'mon guys, don't miss out!
