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

[Gpuller]

I like your Wilk pick, GP. I think that's the first time anyone but me has picked him in this game. I'll probably keep riding his band wagon, too. I need another day to ponder before I make my picks, though.

We'll both be heroes or zeros. He's been running good lately so why not give him a shot.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I haven't yet posted the results of last weekend's Southern Nationals in Atlanta. I haven't yet finished watching the event - I'm a fan too you know. Results should be posted no later than Wednesday.

But here's your 'Tuesday before the event' reminder to get your picks posted for the upcoming Kansas Nationals that start Friday. As always, your picks need to be posted before Pro Qualifying starts at 5:30PM EDT (2:30PM PDT) on Friday, May 20.
There will not be any last-minute reminders to get your picks posted.

The NHRA website currently shows 15 Top Fuel, 17 Funny Car and 16 Pro Stock entries. Check to make sure your picks are entered and racing at this event.

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

Congrats to cuda20 (FABO) for winning the Top Qualifier title for the 2016 NHRA Kansas Nationals with an almost perfect total of 23.5 bonus points. cuda20 picked the #1 qualifier in both Top Fuel and Pro Stock, and the #2 qualifier in Funny Car. Outstanding!
Back in Time (FABO), Gpuller (FBBO), memike (FABO) and stroked340 (FABO) were right behind with 23.0 bonus points. More great picks!
Good luck all in eliminations tomorrow!

We have 17 players again this week with 12 different driver combos made up of:
* 5 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There could be one head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations if they all survive the opening round.
* 7 different Funny Car drivers with two Round 1 head-to-head matchups. One between #4 qualifier Courtney Force (3 picks) and #13 qualifier Bob Tasca III (1 pick), and the other between #6 qualifier Del Worsham (1 pick) and #11 qualifier John Force (1 pick). There is also one potential head-to-head matchup in Round 2 of eliminations.
* 5 different Pro Stock drivers picked this week with one Round 1 head-to-head matchup between #8 qualifier Drew Skillman (1 pick) and #9 qualifier Erica Enders-Stevens (1 pick). Also a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations.

Good luck all!
