2024 14th Annual FABO NHRA "Pick 'Em" Game - It's NITRO Burnin' Time Again!!!

most mine except P/SM Gaige Herrara Suzuki 'won'
everyone else were out by the semi's or 2nd rd

a lot of underdogs winners
1 lane racetrack it seemed nobody until late in rds got down the left lane
al the winners were mostly in the right lane
they were saying it was a greasy track, 130*

I was routing for F/C John Force to win another
(after my guy Prock got knocked out, by him/his team owner)
then Hagan beat him/John in the finals

I loved seeing P/S Erica Enders-Stephens #1 qualifier
get beat 1st rd, she lost on a holeshot too :carrot:, 0.012 to a 0.064
by a part-timer former P/S driver/test driver
(for Dallas Glen ?) John DeFlorian Jr. former P/S driver from the early 90s
for Titan-Black team, now longtime chassis welder/builder for Jerry Hass
he was shaking down the car for them, went a couple rds

my Pro-stock picks haven't done well since I changed

T/F S. Torrence went out early
F/C A. Prock went out early
P/S Jeggy went out very early

@ocdart please change my locked in pick
in Pro-Stock cars to Greg Anderson please...
for the foreseeable future (maybe short lived too)
Thanks in advance...
 
Nice to see TJ Zizzo take top qualifier. Too bad he didn't win it all. He's a nice guy to talk to at the track.
Nice qualifying Dan!
 
I didn't do much after qualifying though. Thought maybe there was going to be a new winner in PSM as Van Sant had his tuned up pretty good, but Herrara as usual was unbeatable.
Got to feel for Del Worsham as that car is bad fast but she, Alexis, can't get off the line. Only way she is still driving that car is because she is half owner of BANDERO tequila. A different driver in that car and it would be winning a lot.

Update: Pro qualifying has begun. I will carry over your picks from the previous race but you are now only eligible for round win points. You can still post updated picks for round win points up until the beginning of eliminations on Sunday.
May I suggest you 'lock' your picks so you will be eligible for all future event bonus points? Of course, you can always 'unlock' your picks for individual race events and post specific picks for that race only should you choose to do so.
Please let me know.
