If you're planning to watch Q3 television coverage Sunday morning and don't want to already know the results, then don't come back to this thread until after you've watched Q3 qualifying.
I will update this thread later today.
 
Congratulations to 'Budnicks' (FBBO) for winning the 2021 NHRA season opening 52nd annual Gatornationals Top Qualifier title with an outstanding total of 31.5 bonus points. He picked the #1 qualifier in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock, and the #2 qualifier in Pro Stock Motorcycle. Way to go!

" I like the blind squirrel theory "

everyone finds it every so often

a newbie from FABO beat me :poke:
but that's OK too, god for him

I had good qualifying picks, that helped big time
them lil' points really add up
I didn't even read about any of the testings beforehand either
just a hunch, I've learned to just go with it, gut feeling

seems it was a sort of underdogs day
 
so no NHRA "pro" races until Apr. 16th to 18th

this Chinese Wuhan Flu restrictions ****
(Govn. Newsome is getting recalled too)
this **** is way out of hand, paranoia to the nth degree
 
Posting this a little earlier than usual, but with the postponement of the 2021 Winternationals the next event is now the Denso Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Las Vegas, April 16-18.
So, here's a reminder on 4-Wide event scoring.

The 4-Wides are scored differently. We're using the same scoring this year as previously used and, again, this scoring is only for the 4-Wide events, both Las Vegas and Carolina.

Points change for 4-Wide events ONLY!!!

Same rules as the past several years:

These events only have 3 rounds of eliminations. Event scoring will be similar to the NHRA points scoring.

Qualifying position bonus points are the same as always

Each pro elimination round is run with 4 cars per race rather than 2, and 2 cars advance from each of the first 2 rounds of eliminations.

First round: Four races of four cars each. The 1st car of each race to cross the finish line will get 10 points, the 2nd car will get 5 points. Eight cars advance to the second round of eliminations.

Second round: Two races of four cars each. Same scoring as the first round. Four cars advance to the final round of eliminations.

Final round: One race of four cars. 1st Place finisher will get 10 points, 2nd Place will get 5 points, 3rd Place will get 3 points, 4th Place will get 1 point.

Same scoring for quickest e.t. and fastest speed for the event and for any national record set at this event.

Again, this scoring will be for the 4-Wide events only.
 
A lil' early but it's been a while since last race

4 wide Las Vegas Apr. 16th-18th

It seems like forever since the Gators in Florida!

Finally, it's time for your 'Tuesday before the event' reminder for the Denso Spark Plugs Four-Wide Nationals in Las Vegas that are scheduled to start Friday, April 16th.
Current forecast calls for high temps of 77F on Friday, 76F on Saturday and 78F on Sunday with sunny conditions all three days and less than a 2% chance of rain.
The current entry list shows:
15 Top Fuel
19 Funny Car
18 Pro Stock
14 Pro Stock Motorcycle

As always, check the entry lists to make sure your driver pick is racing.

It's time to get your picks posted and go racing again!

 
Here are my picks:

Steve Torrence

Greg Anderson
Steve Johnson

Good luck everyone!
