Congratulations to 'Budnicks' (FBBO), 2nd week in a row, and 'cuda20' (FABO) for sharing the Top Qualifier title of the 2017 NHRA Toyota Nationals with a very nice total of 28.0 bonus points each. They both picked the #1 qualifier in Pro Stock Motorcycle, the #2 qualifier in Top Fuel, the #3 qualifier in Pro Stock and the #6 qualifier in Funny Car. Way to go!
'johnnycuda' (FABO) was right behind in the runner-up spot with 27.5 bonus points.
More great picks!
We have 15 players for the FallNationals but only 11 different driver combos made up of:
* 4 different Top Fuel drivers. No Round 1 head-to-head matchup possibilities, but one possible head-to-head matchup in Round 2 of eliminations.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers. Two Round 1 head-to-head matchups. One between #3 qualifier Robert Hight (2 picks) and #14 qualifier Tim Wilkerson (1 pick); and one between #6 qualifier Ron Capps (8 picks) and #11 qualifier John Force (1 pick). The winners of those races will face each other in Round 2 of eliminations.
* 3 different Pro Stock drivers and no possible head-to-head matchups until the semi-finals
* 3 different Pro Stock Motorcycle riders. Again, no possible head-to-head matchups until the semi-finals.
Good luck all!

Hey guys, the Toyota Nationals results are going to be a few days late.
The World Series TV coverage started right after the Las Vegas coverage and the game is only in the 8th inning right now.
I've got a friend coming over to visit after work tomorrow and Game 6 of the World Series will be on Tuesday and Game 7 (if necessary) will be on Wednesday. Games start just before I get home from work.
I'll get to the results as soon as I can.

No worries ocdart!
Thank you for doing a GREAT Job!
Thank you for doing a GREAT Job!
Yeah thanks
My qual. picks were better than the race results
Capps & Torrance both went out early...
should be interesting in P/S, F/C & T/F at least mathematically...
P/SM is all but wrapped up, unless if Kraweic doesn't qualify
Pro Mod Troy Coughlin won the championship after Vegas

Nice job Nick!
Congrats Nick 
Well I didn't really make up any or lose any positions or points...
I guess it will come down to the World Finals
I may have to go over to FABO & see what they both pick...
Nick is catching up too
1.5 times point value in the Finals
ocdart do we get the same in the Pick Em' game ?
1.5x points value too ?
