Sorry for the delay in posting updated points following the Mile-High Nationals. I found I hadn't yet posted points from the prior event to my records and had to recreate the point total record to bring everything up to date. The point totals shown below are correct following the Mile-High Nationals.

Congratulations to 'Outlawd' (FBBO) for winning the final Mile-High Nationals "Top Picker Eliminator" title with an outstanding total of 151.0 points.
Both his Funny Car and Pro Stock Motorcycle picks won their respective classes, his Pro Stock pick lost in the semi-final round of eliminations and his Top Fuel pick lost in the opening round of eliminations. He was helped with ET bonus points in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock, and Speed bonus points in Top Fuel.
'Back in Time' (FABO) got the runner-up spot with 142.0 points.

I agree with you.
But from the racer's point it's 3 straight weekends and the days in between of travel, lodging and meal expenses. And a long ways to ship any additional parts if needed.

TF=Brittany Force
FC=Matt Hagan

OC could you lock my picks in for the rest of the year? Thank you

Your recent picks are now 'locked' for the Northwest Nationals and remainder of the 2023 NHRA season:

TF Justin Ashley
FC Matt Hagan
PS Dallas Glenn
PSM Eddie Krawiec


Please post any changes for individual events.
 
Looks like that old blind squirrel visited 'ocdart' (FABO) again. How else to explain how he ended up with top qualifying total of 22.0 bonus points? That squirrel found him the #1 qualifier in Pro Stock Motorcycle and the #3 qualifiers in both Top Fuel and Funny Car. 'cuda20' (FABO) and 'stroked340' (FABO) were right behind with 21.5 bonus points.
'Budnicks' was the top FBBO qualifier with 21.0 bonus points.
More great picks!

We have 15 players again this week and 14 different driver combos made up of:

* 5 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchups in Round 2 if the drivers survive Round 1.
* 4 different Funny Car drivers. There is a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations if both drivers survive Round 1.
* 5 different Pro Stock Motorcycle drivers no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in Round 2 of eliminations.
