[ocdart]

can I just carryover my picks from bandimere?

Of course you can. I'll post your same picks for Sonoma unless you say otherwise.
You can also 'lock' your Bandimere picks for the remainder of the season and post only when you want to make a change. You could make a change for either for a single event or for the remainder of the season.

 

[Budnicks]

Hope my picks work this week too, up +2 spots

I bet your right on Wilkerson, I like that guy. I should change mine....

 

[64BEL]

I bet your right on Wilkerson, I like that guy. I should change mine....

He's my favorite racer. We've met him in the pits a few times - great guy. He has a good track record at Seattle, too. I may go back to him next week.

I will post Sonoma results after I get home from work tonight. I apologize for the delay.

Here's your Tuesday before the event reminder to post your picks for the 2022 Flav-R-Pac NHRA Northwest Nationals, the 3rd race of the Western Swing and the final of three consecutive weekends of racing.
Here we go, a little over 770 miles north and about 267 feet higher than Sonoma and surrounded by oxygen-generating pine trees.
The first of three Pro qualifying sessions starts Friday, July 29, at 7:45PM EDT (4:45PM PDT).
Like last week, Friday qualifying won't be on TV (FS1) until Saturday at 2:00PM EDT (11:00AM PDT).
Saturday qualifying won't be on TV (FS1) until Sunday at 2:30PM EDT (11:30AM PDT).
Final eliminations will be televised Sunday on FOX at 4:00PM EDT (1:00PM PDT). FOX will again be going head-to-head with the NASCAR television coverage starting at 2:30PM EDT on NBC.

Unfortunately, it appears that current high fuel and travel costs continue to impact the number of professional class entries but the numbers are slightly better this week.
The nhra.com website currently shows the following number of entries:
16 Top Fuel
12 Funny Car
15 Pro Stock
Pro Stock Motorcycle will not compete at this event.

Always check to confirm your picks are participating. You may also possibly find either new drivers or old favorites competing.

Post your picks if you haven't already.
