2016 6th Annual FABO NHRA "Pick 'Em" Game - Get Ready To Make Your Picks!!!

[ocdart]

how do I not get bonus points when I picked hagan and line who are both #1 in speed and time?

Qualifying bonus points are based on qualifying position only - not ET or Speed. I only list the top 2 qualifying scores each week. Your qualifying score this week was 22.0.
The ET, Speed and National Record bonus points are figured in to the individual event scores after the completion of the event as they could possibly change during eliminations.

WOW did anyone see my buddy Hagans runs??? was UNREAL how fast he was going ...

1/2 the field was flying, look how many went 3.80-something
a bunch of hi-320's & low 330's MPH too

great track & air conditions, cloud cover moderate temps cool track
= Hauling A$$, only a few inches different on track
probably won't have anything like that today in eliminations {??},
probably end up being a smoke/peddle fest...
Everyone overpowering the track, because of
yesterday/Friday nights air/weather/track conditions...

records were dropping like flies
congrats on your picks Nick, but don't hurt yourself...LOL

Is it true that P/S now stands for Pro Summit ?

Scary crash for Tim Wilkerson in the Funny Car semi-finals while racing Jack Beckman. Good thing Fast Jack was out in front since Wilk ended up tagging both walls. And even better that the axle broke on Wilks car just past the tree rather than on the top end.

We all get one week of rest since there is no NHRA racing scheduled for Memorial Day weekend. Rest up because after that there are four consecutive weeks of drag racing. If you might be taking some early summer vacation during June, you might consider 'locking in' picks for all four classes so you don't miss any events.
The next race is the 4th Annual NHRA New England Nationals, June 3-5 at New England Dragway in Epping, NH.
As always, your picks need to be posted before Pro Qualifying starts on Friday, June 3 in order to qualify for all event bonus points. Pro qualifying is scheduled to start at 4:30PM EDT (1:30 PM PDT).
The New England Nationals entry list is posted on NHRA.com and currently shows 12 Top Fuel, 15 Funny Car and 16 Pro Stock entries, but the counts are still subject to change. Pro Stock Motorcycle does not compete at this event. Keep checkinghttp://www.nhra.com/events/entrylist09.aspx for an updated entry list to confirm your picks are participating.

Get your picks posted and GOOD LUCK!

They announced on the telecast that it was a broken axle that caused the car to turn that abruptly. Tony Pedregon first speculated that an oil line may have broke and the tire got into some oil, but they later changed that to a broken axle.

 

[Budnicks]

Damn down 2 spots again...
figures...LOL

 

[Budnicks]

Congrats NICK

 

[64BEL]

Nice going, Nick!

Hey all, here's your 'Tuesday before the event' reminder to get your picks posted for the upcoming New England Nationals that start Friday. As always, your picks need to be posted before Pro Qualifying starts at 4:30PM EDT (1:30PM PDT) on Friday, June 3.
There will not be any last-minute reminders to get your picks posted.

This is the first of 4 consecutive weeks of NHRA racing - we'll be racing every weekend during June. You might want to consider "locking" in your picks if you may be planning some vacation time and not be able to make your weekly picks.

Don't forget to post your picks before Pro Qualifying starts - you don't want to miss out on all the bonus points.

Do you also want your most recent Pro Stock Motorcycle pick, Chip Ellis, 'locked' as well? Or somebody else?
It will stay Chip Ellis unless you advise otherwise.
