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

[Gpuller]

You're right - I corrected the post.
Didja notice it was well after midnight when I posted the results - way too late for me. I must have been looking at your class picks qualifying positions instead of the round wins.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it affected my points or not, just wanted to point it out.

Hey all, here's an early 'Tuesday before the event' reminder to get your picks posted for the upcoming 4-Wide Nationals. As always, your picks need to be posted before Pro Qualifying starts at 4:30PM EDT (1:30PM PDT) on Friday, April 22.
There will not be any last-minute reminders to get your picks posted because I will be in Indianapolis on business travel.
I won't be home until late Saturday night so there won't be any qualifying results posted, but there shouldn't be any delay in posting the event results.

If you're a new game player this year, the 4-Wides are scored differently. We're using the same scoring this year as previously used and, again, this scoring is only for the 4-Wide Nationals.

Points change for 4-Wide Nationals event ONLY!!!
Same rules as the past several years:

This event only has 3 rounds of eliminations. Event scoring will be similar to the NHRA points scoring.

Qualifying position bonus points are the same as always

Each pro elimination round is run with 4 cars per race rather than 2, and 2 cars advance from each of the first 2 rounds of eliminations.

First round: Four races of four cars each. The 1st car of each race to cross the finish line will get 10 points, the 2nd car will get 5 points. Eight cars advance to the second round of eliminations.

Second round: Two races of four cars each. Same scoring as the first round. Four cars advance to the final round of eliminations.

Final round: One race of four cars. 1st Place finisher will get 10 points, 2nd Place will get 5 points, 3rd Place will get 3 points, 4th Place will get 1 point.

Same scoring for quickest e.t. and fastest speed for the event and for any national record set at this event.

Again, this scoring will be for this event only.


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

my early 4 wide picks

T/F Antron Brown
F/C Ron Capps {if he qualifies, he'll do well}
P/S Greg Anderson
P/SM Eddie Kraweic

good luck everyone
I wonder if the pro-classes will all have full 16 car fields, this race ?

 

[Budnicks]

Anyone see that T/F team owner Bob Vandergriff {said 20+ years is enough}
has retired/quit racing altogether now, with his whole team done now too ??
I wonder when, who or where Leah Pritchett will race for ?,
wonder if she'll go back to Pro-Mod ?

sucks for all the families & teammates,
out of the racing so early in the season...
