Houston picks, T/F A. Brown , F/C R. Hight , P/S A. Johnson {no P/SM IIRC}

I also saw there were 27 Pro-Mod cars entered already, wish they would show/televise them too... after all they are Pro-Category too, I'd go with my favorite racer for years it was "Tricky" Ricky Smith 903ci N20 or Von Smith 526ci BAE Blown Hemi or Mike Castellano 854ci N20 in that class... Rarely any MoPar bodied cars anymore in Pro-Mod, some regional kind of, there are a few, most the fast Blown guys run 526ci BEA {AJ-R} Hemi's thou.... N20 guys run 800-900+ci Chevy 5" bore spaced Corporate combos, big N20 multi-kit boost & Ford up-to 900ci N20, a few Turbo cars too, really hard to stage them thou.... most the turbo guys were just using a converter & a button trans-brake type deal, to bump the in the beams on boost, the other guys hate them, they take forever to stage...

Congrats to Budnicks (FBBO) for being the Top Qualifier at the O'Reilly Auto Parts Spring Nationals with a very nice total of 22.0 bonus points. He picked the #1 qualifier in Pro Stock, the #2 qualifier in Top Fuel and the #4 qualifier in Funny Car.
tqfastfish (FABO) and super-bee_ski (FBBO) were both right behind with 21.0 bonus points. Way to go all!

This week players picked:
* 7 different Top Fuel drivers. There are no Round 1 head-to-head matchups but there is the potential for three head-to-head matchups in the 2nd round of eliminations.
* 7 different Funny Car drivers and one Round 1 head-to-head matchup between Ron Capps and Matt Hagan. There are also 2 potential head-to-head matchups in Round 2 of eliminations.
* 8 different Pro Stock drivers picked this week with two Round 1 head-to-head matchups: Jason Line and Chris McGaha, and Jeg Coughlin Jr. and Greg Anderson. There is also the possibility of 3 head-to-head matchups in the 2nd round of eliminations.

Good luck all!
