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

Announced today: Josh Hart will be in the cockpit of the JFR Top Fuel car starting in 2026.

John Force Racing signs Josh Hart to drive its Top Fuel dragster
I didn't see that one coming... :thankyou:

brings in a 'associate sponsor' with his Fla. speed shot too, it seems

maybe/probably why ? he sold his ride & operation to Tony Stewart
(edit.* actually Elite Motorsports, Tony's going to drive it)

not sure about 'the fit' ?
he's not very vocal or energetic personality, seems like a nice guy
from what lil' I've seen of him, I assume he can learn to be more vocal...
will have a great teacher, in John

Agreed. But Mike Neff drove for Force. He's as laid back of a cool cat as they come.
 
Howdy All
I was hoping that they would have picked Angelle Sampey. As that would have been awesome still having 4 ladies in the top class. And I still believe that sponsors would line up to support Angelle.
Wasn't there a deal to have Angelle drive for Antron Brown's team ?
I think it was announce end of last season,
possibly her drive even this season, but it (TF ride) never developed/happened, or didn't get the funding (??)
I could have swore I heard that, somewhere
(I saw that she was running an Inj. Fuel - in TA/D sportsman series)

Angelle has been campaigning a TAD. She has been there all year. I believe that was the deal for her starting out. She is 11th in points.
 
Brian Lohnes, in the opening of this week's "NHRA Insider Podcast", said Cody Coughlin quit the KB Titan Racing pro stock team after the recent Texas NHRA FallNationals.

Coughlin is still listed as a Pro Stock entry for the upcoming Nevada Nationals. We'll have to wait and see what the future brings.

Here's what the future brought. Are you ready for it?
Dave Connolly will be back behind a Pro Stock steering wheel for the remaining two races of the 2025 NHRA season.

Dave Connolly back behind the wheel in Pro Stock for NHRA Nevada Nationals
 
It's time for your 'Tuesday before the race' notice for the next-to-last event of the 2025 season, the 25th annual Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals, October 30-November 2, at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, NV.
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:
13 Top Fuel with one driver making their first 2025 season event
21 Funny Car with two drivers making their first 2025 season event
21 Pro Stock
17 Pro Stock Motorcycle with two drivers making their first 2025 season event

As always, I suggest you double-check to make sure all of your driver picks are racing. There have 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 77F at the start of Q1. Temps will probably be about 82F when Q2 kicks off at the scheduled start time of 6:00pm EDT (3:00pm PDT).
* Saturday forecast is for sunny and a temp of about 76F at the start of Q3 going up to the low-80s for the scheduled start of Q4

All television coverage will also re-air at later times. Check www.nhra.com.

Don't miss out!
 
Looks like KB Titan has added another bullet to the gun with Dave Connolly running with them at Vegas. It looks the same in PSM as there are 5 V&H powered bikes and 5 S&S powered bikes running. This all sounds good until qualifications, that could put several team matchups together. Then we'll see if there are team orders.
 
Here we go for Vegas

FC Prock
