Here's your Tuesday before the event reminder to post your picks for the 28th annual O'Reilly Auto Parts NHRA SpringNationals at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, TX. Pro Qualifying starts at 5:00PM EDT (2:00PM PDT) next Friday, April 24th.
Your picks must be posted to this game thread before the start of Pro Qualifying. Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock only for this event. Pro Stock Motorcycle is off until the Southern Nationals in mid-May.
The NHRA website currently shows 17 Top Fuel, 17 Funny Car and 16 Pro Stock entries for the SpringNationals, but this could still possibly change.
Check to verify your pick is racing at this event. You can find the current event entry list at

http://www.nhra.com/events/entrylist06.aspx

Cutoff time for your picks is as posted above.
Sorry, there will not be any last-minute reminders posted or sent via PM because I will be out of town on a business trip to Indianapolis and away from my computer starting Wednesday morning and not returning home until late Saturday night. I'll try to get the Qualifying results posted Sunday morning.


Good Luck!
