Mike Dunn will not be in the broadcast booth in 2016
STUPID MOVE BY NHRA!
I saw an announcement on competitionplus.com that Mike Dunn has been told that NHRA wants to go in a different direction with their event telecasts next year and he won't be returning to the broadcast booth in 2016.
IMO, Mike is the best part of the current broadcast team. I was hoping they would replace Dave Rieff as I'm not a fan of his style of broadcasting.
Mike's experience, knowledge and honesty have been highlights of the television broadcasts for years.

Yep I like Mike Dunn, since his days with Joe Pisano,
his dad's Jim Dunn's Fireman Quicky F/C too
he was the best part of the broadcast sometimes...
NHRA is all f'ed up now,
the new broadcasting on FOX & FS1 next season may be better,
lets hope, cross our fingers, because it can't get much worse ?, can it ?
well maybe until now...LOL
Agreed, Bud and oc. I would think Rieff will be history if Dunn is. Dunn is clearly the one to keep if they were to keep one of them. They're probably going to clean house.
I don't suppose he'd try to get back behind the wheel at this point, would he?

He's only 54-55 y/o, he could be a great addition to a team,
he' been around the sport since he was in diapers...
Albeit he hasn't driven competitively in years now...
He's in great shape avid bike rider & gym rat...
I'd like to see him in his fathers Jim Dunn's F/C's again, maybe a 2 car team even,
Bring back Gary Scelzi to be his team mate...
Maybe get Pisano's old co.'s, JP1, Venolia & Childs & Albert back on board too,
Bring back the Bitchin' Green & Black
Brute Force car paint/sponsorship scheme too...LOL
{fat chance there}
That'd be freaken' awesome thou...

Congrats to 'Gpuller' (FBBO) for winning the Top Qualifier title with an outstanding total of 30.5 bonus points. He picked #1 qualifier in Top Fuel, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle, and the #4 qualifier in Funny Car.
'alsant' (FBBO) took the runner-up spot with 30.0 bonus points.
'ocdart' and 'cuda20' were the top FBBO qualifiers with 28.5 points
Great picks!
18 active players this week and 17 different driver combos this week made up of:
* 4 different Top Fuel drivers. No Round 1 head-to-head matchups, but the possibility of one head-to-head matchup in Round 2 of eliminations.
* 4 different Funny Car drivers. One Round 1 head-to-head matchup between #6 qualifier Del Worsham (3 picks) and #11 qualifier Matt Hagan (3 picks). No one head-to-head matchup possiblilities in Round 2 of eliminations.
* 3 different Pro Stock drivers picked this week. No Round 1 head-to-head matchups, but the possibility of a 2nd Round matchup.
* 5 different Pro Stock Motorcycle riders picked with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups, but possibly two head-to-head matchups in Round 2 of eliminations.

Rieff is a nice guy for sure, but he was much better in the reporter role than the play by play man, in my opinion. I still think Marty Reid was the best play by play man in the ESPN era. Of course, Steve Evans and Dave Mac from the Diamond P days were the best of all of them - again, in my opinion.
BTW - Nice picking this week, GP!

Here are the results and point standings after the fifth race of the "countdown" following completion of the Toyota Nationals at The Strip in Las Vegas:

His point total was helped with both Speed and E.T. bonus points in Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle, E.T. bonus points in Top Fuel and Speed bonus points in Funny Car.
'Gpuller' (FBBO) was the event runner-up with an almost equally great point totals of 155.5 points. His picks finished exactly the same as 'Budnicks' even though they had different Funny Car picks. He was also helped with both E.T., and Speed bonus points in Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle, and E.T. bonus points in Top Fuel.
'memike' and '6pc2goDemon' were the top FABO pickers with 128.0 points each.
