2025 15th Annual FABO NHRA "Pick 'Em" Game - I Can't Wait!!!

Congrats to @GTXDAN for top quialifier

away to go @alsant for top Eliminator picks

& @ocdart for +2 spots, even if he identifies as FBAO

way to go FBBO
meanwhile almost all mine went out early, tire spinners
maybe fair better in Sonoma

another low count for T/F entries in Sonoma, WTF
great air & great facility, one of the best tracks
 
@ocdart
against my better discretion, I'll stick with my locked in picks

good luck everyone
 
Way to go @alsant . Boy if I hadn't of won those qualifying points I would have fell on my ***. I thought for sure we were going to see 342 in TF. Man old grubby had that thing flying until the end. And AJ had Doug hauling *** to. Thought we would see them both in the final. I think Smoke was out classed there because they have never run a big number like those guys were. They tried and blew it up.
Glad to see Hagan back in the winners circle, he needed that.
What I thought was really amazing was Chris Bostick hitting the wall on that bike and not getting hurt. Thought for sure he would have some broken bones. Well we're off to Sonoma for next weekend, hope the weather is as good.
Good luck everybody!!!
 
Nice work, alsant, Dan, and oc! I took it on the chin with 1st and 2nd round losses, like Bud.

Only 11 TF and 8 bikes - holy cow.

I'm staying with my locks. Good luck everyone!
 
Here's your traditional 'Tuesday before the race' notice for the 36th annual Denso Sonoma NHRA Nationals presented by PowerEdge, July 25-27, at Sonoma Raceways in Sonoma, CA.
Please check the driver entries and post your picks before Pro Stock and Nitro qualifying starts so you will be eligible for all event bonus points.

As of this morning nhra.com currently shows the following entries:
11 Top Fuel
18 Funny Car
18 Pro Stock
13 Pro Stock Motorcycle

Because of the short fields in both Top Fuel and Pro Stock Motorcycle, I suggest you double-check to make sure all of your driver picks are racing. There have also been some no-shows at recent race events of the season. If your posted driver skips the event and you do not select a replacement prior to the start of eliminations, I will use your posted driver from the most recent completed event. Unfortunately, any replacement driver after the start of qualifying will not be eligible for any event bonus points.

Despite the short entry fields there are several drivers making their initial 2025 debuts:
* 1 Top Fuel entry is making their season debut at this event
* 1 Funny Car entry is making their season debut at this event
* 3 Pro Stock Motorcycle entries are making their season debut at this event

The current weekend weather forecast shows:
* Friday currently shows mostly sunny with a high of 69F at the start of Q1 dropping to 57F at the start of Q2
* Saturday forecast is for mostly sunny with a high of 64F at the start of Q3 going up to 69F for Q4
* Sunday weather for Eliminations should start as mostly sunny and 61F changing through the day to sunny and a forecast high of 78F

The current television schedule for the Sonoma Nationals...
* Qualifying Show 1: 10:00-11:30pm EDT (7:00pm-8:30pm PDT), Friday, July 25 on FS1
* 2Fast2Tasty Challenge: 6:00-7:00pm EDT (3:00-4:00pm PDT), Saturday, July 26 on FOX
* Pro Stock Motorcycle All-Star Callout: 9:30-10:30pm EDT (6:30-7:30pm PDT), Saturday, July 26 on FS1
* Qualifying Show 2: 2:00-4:00pm (11:00am-1:00pm PDT), Sunday, July 27 on FS1
* Eliminations: 4:00-7:00pm EDT (1:00-4:00pm PDT), Sunday, July 27 on FS1
All television coverage will also re-air at later times. Check www.nhra.com.

Don't miss out!
 
@GTXDAN, @Outlawd, less than 23 hours to the scheduled start of Pro qualifying at Sonoma.

There used to be a bunch of people family operations in that area, 1 car or 1 driver teams
around Sears Point/Infinity Raceway, greater SF bay Area, especially from the North/South Bay or East Bay
that were part timers, mostly ran local stuff, Sac Raceway, Fremont/Baylands, Sears Point
or up in Oregon over in Idaho doing match races, mainly west coast, a Nat. Event here or there
T/F Morgan Marine was a reg., Frank Hawley (IIRC) was too, the Kaiser's, the Edgecombe's,
Mike Williams, Bret in F/C & a few others
really in, all the pro classes T/S, P/M, P/S, (there used to be a lot for T/S, P/M & P/S from that area)
P/SM even T/F or FC

I wonder (?) if any of them will last min. entry or not even listed as entered "yet"

good luck everyone

Got your Sonoma picks in time.
Do you want to 'lock' these (or something different) for anytime you might be too busy in the future? You can always 'unlock' to post different picks for a single event. Anytime you might post different picks for a single event your picks revert back to the 'locked' picks for future races unless you post instructions otherwise.
