Yeah good picks Ski {???}

I think or have a hunch after Terry Chandler dying
that the DSR Infinite Hero/Beckman & Make a Wish/TJ jr. F/C's
will both do well this race, emotions run high,
like a tribute/dedication/send off, for Terry...
They'll be throwing everything & the kitchen sink at them,
to get & dedicate a last win for her...
Be a Hero or Zero,
set the world on fire, try to rotate the earth
or just smoke the tires & blow em' up...

Congrats to 'Back in Time' (FBBO) for earning the Top Qualifier title of the 2017 NHRA Route 66 Nationals with an outstanding total of 30.0 bonus points. He picked the #1 qualifier in Pro Stock, the #2 qualifier in both Top Fuel and Funny Car and the #3 qualifier in Pro Stock Motorcycle. Way to go!
'64BEL' (FABO) was right behind in the #2 qualifier spot with 27.5 bonus points.
More great picks!

We have 16 players for the New England Nationals and 16 different driver combos made up of:
* 5 different Top Fuel drivers with one Round 1 head-to-head matchup between #7 qualifier Antron Brown (8 picks) and #10 qualifier Doug Kalitta (2 picks). There's also a chance of two head-to-head matchups in Round 2 if they all survive the opening round of eliminations.
* 7 different Funny Car drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups but a possibility of three head-to head matchups in Round 2.
* 5 different Pro Stock drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups but a possibility of two head-to-head matchups in Round #2.
* 6 different Pro Stock Motorcycle riders with one Round 1 head-to-head matchup between #3 qualifier Matt Smith (4 picks) and #14 qualifier Eddie Krawiec (7 picks). There is also a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in Round #2.

Good luck all!
