2025 15th Annual FABO NHRA "Pick 'Em" Game - I Can't Wait!!!

It's time for your 'Tuesday before the race' notice for the Texas NHRA FallNationals, October 8-12, on the all-concrete racing surface at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis, TX.
This will be the first of the final three races in the six-race 2025 Countdown.

Please check the driver entries and post your picks before Pro qualifying starts so you will be eligible for all event bonus points.

The entry cutoff was at 4:00pm EDT (1:00pm PDT) yesterday and the nhra.com website shows the following entry counts:
17 Top Fuel with one driver making their first 2025 season event
17 Funny Car
22 Pro Stock with one driver making their first 2025 season event
16 Pro Stock Motorcycle

As always, I suggest you double-check to make sure all of your driver picks are racing. There are no new names competing at this event, but there have also been some no-shows at recent race events of the season. If your posted driver skips the event and you do not select a replacement prior to the start of eliminations, I will use your posted driver from the most recent completed event. Unfortunately, any replacement driver after the start of qualifying will not be eligible for any event bonus points.

The current weekend weather forecast shows:
* Friday currently shows sunny with a temperature of about 87F at the start of Q1. Temps will probably be about 80F when Q2 kicks off at the scheduled start time of 8:00pm EDT (5:00pm PDT).
* Saturday forecast is for sunny and a temp of about 79F at the start of Q3 going up to the mid-80s for the scheduled start of Q4
* Sunday weather forecast is for sunny and temps in the mid 70s at the start of eliminations going up to a high of 89F about 4:00pm

The current television schedule for the Texas FallNationals...

Man I changed from GA to DG because he was doing real good in pro stock and the old man came back and kicked but. Going back with the old man.
Age and treachery over youth and skill every time.

FYI, Steve Torrence announced CAPCO is closing their 2025 NHRA Top Fuel season at the Texas FallNationals this coming weekend.
Although they are in the Countdown, he doesn't feel they have a valid shot at winning the championship so it doesn't make sense to them to go to the expense of travelling to Las Vegas and Pomona.

:thankyou:
Sad to see them go, got lots of points off them, especially Steve prior years...

I hope they will be back in 2026,
they kind of hinted at it before this season, not running a full schedule
they were stepping/pulling back,
I was surprised they ran as much as they did

you now when it's time to pull the plug,
on racing if it isn't fun anymore
or when it becomes like a job, you dread going to
or your pissed off all the time, it's not fun during them times
or when the constant travel, going to the next event gets to you too,
saying you have no chance, it's time
been there done that

I was tempted to jump off of Greg's bandwagon, too, but he's made me pay for that move before, so I stuck. Glad I did.
