Strange racing yesterday with all of the weather-related interruptions and delays. You could tell by watching the TV coverage with all of the "filler" they were throwing in that they weren't going to get the entire event in on Sunday. But I thought they would at least finish it today (Monday) rather than holding the Funny Car final and the Pro Stock semi and final rounds for two weeks to the U.S. Nationals in Indy. Continuing weather must have been the reason since the forecast for the Brainerd, MN, area shows the first day of sunshine is Wednesday.
According to the NHRA.com website, the Lucas Oil Nationals Funny Car final will be "held at Indianapolis during the second qualifying session on Saturday". Whether the "second qualifying session" is Q2 Saturday afternoon or Q3 ("the second qualifying session on Saturday") Saturday evening is unclear. The Pro Stock semi-final and final rounds from Brainerd "will be contested during the two Sunday qualifying sessions at Indy" per NHRA.com.
So all I can do right now is show "provisional" results until NHRA closes out Funny Car and Pro Stock racing from the Lucas Oil Nationals.
Provisional congratulations to 'Hemiroid' (FABO), 'socaldart' (FABO) and 'ocdart' (FABO) for currently being the top point getters for the Lucas Oil Nationals with existing point totals of 106.5 each. They each picked the Top Fuel runner-up, Doug Kalitta, John Force in Funny Car and Jeg Coughlin Jr. in Pro Stock. Both John Force and Jeg Coughlin Jr. are still in contention for their respective classes. Jacob Delling is currently the event runner up with 98.5 points and one driver still in contention, but 'Duster79' (FABO) is only 8 points behind with two drivers still in contention.
'Budnicks' is the current FBBO high-point picker with 84.0 points and one driver still in contention.
Great picking all!
Here's where the bonus points currently are if you picked the right drivers. Remember, Funny Car and Pro Stock could change if the times/speeds in those classes are bettered during the completion of those classes at Indy.
Note: Event Elapsed Time and Speed bonus points for Funny Car and Pro Stock are not yet included in any of the event scoring since neither of these classes are yet complete.
Top Fuel
E.T. - Doug Kalitta, 3.722 during Round 2 of eliminations
Speed - Richie Crampton, 328.54 while losing during Round 1 of eliminations
Funny Car
E.T. - Alexis DeJoria, 3.998 during Round 2 of eliminations
Speed - John Force, 320.89 during Round 2 of eliminations
Pro Stock

Speed - Jason Line, 209.69 during Round 1 of eliminations

'dilweed' (FABO) has not posted any new picks for three events so, per game rules, has "lost his sponsorship" and is parked for the remainder of the 2014 NHRA season. I have sent numerous PM reminders without response. 'dilweed' was the 2012 NHRA "Pick 'Em" game champion and I hope he returns for the 2015 season.
The final event of the "regular season", the 60th annual Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals is the next event, August 27-September 1, at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis, IN. Game points will be readjusted following completion of the U.S. Nationals and our point race will be much tighter. So hang in there. This is going to get crazy!
Their are five (5) qualifying sessions at the U.S. Nationals. As always, your picks need to be posted before Pro Qualifying starts on Friday, August 29, in order to qualify for all event bonus points. Pro qualifying is scheduled to start at 6:00PM EDT (3:00 PM PDT).
The U.S. Nationals entry list is posted on NHRA.com and currently shows 22 Top Fuel, 16 Funny Car, 25 Pro Stock and 20 Pro Stock Motorcycle entries, but the counts are subject to change. Keep checking http://www.nhra.com/events/entrylist18.aspx for an updated entry list.
Pro Stock Motorcycle will race at all remaining events of the 2014 NHRA season.
