OK. Here's the proposed rules for a FABO NHRA Pick 'Em for 2011. Read them over, kick it around, and give me your feedback. I'll digest it all, rework things if necessary, and post the final rules no later than February 12th.
Remember, the NHRA season kicks off with the WinterNationals scheduled for Feb. 24-27.
