Here's your Tuesday morning before the event reminder to post your picks for the upcoming 38th annual Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, Colorado - Pro qualifying starts Friday, July 21, at 7:00PM EDT (4:00PM PDT).
Post your picks for Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
The NHRA.com website currently shows 16 Top Fuel, 16 Funny Car, 14 Pro Stock and 18 Pro Stock Motorcycle entries.
Check to verify your picks are actually entered for this event.

Problematic weather forecast shows partly 80F and 70% chance of light rain ending about 8PM Friday, same temp and partly cloudy Saturday with a chance of light rain in the late afternoon, and cooling off to 71F on Sunday with a 60% chance of more light rain from 1-7PM.
Let's hope the only 'Thunder' is going down the track!

This is the first of three consecutive weekends of racing during the 'Western Swing'. Let's hope the weather gets better as they head further west for the next two events after the Mopar Mile-High Nationals.

Congrats to 'memike' (FABO) for earning the Top Qualifier title of the 2017 Mopar NHRA Mile-High Nationals with a very nice total of 28.5 bonus points. He picked the #1 qualifier in both Funny Car and Pro Stock Motorcycle, the #2 qualifier in Pro Stock and the #7 qualifier in Top Fuel. Way to go!
'Duster79' (FABO) was right behind in the #2 qualifier spot with 28.0 bonus points.
'Budnicks' was the top FBBO qualifier with 25.0 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 (9 picks) and #10 qualifier Doug Kalitta (1 pick). There's also a chance of two head-to-head matchups in Round 2 if they all survive the opening round of eliminations.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers with one Round 1 head-to-head matchups between #5 qualifier Ron Capps (8 picks) and #12 qualifier Tommy Johnson Jr. (1 pick). No chances of head-to head matchups in Round 2.
* 6 different Pro Stock drivers with two Round 1 head-to-head matchups. One between #5 qualifier Jason Line (2 picks) and #10 qualifier Tanner Gray (1 pick), and the other between #6 qualifier Allen Johnson (2 picks) and #9 qualifier Bo Butner (5 picks). There is also one possible head-to-head matchup in Round #2.
* 5 different Pro Stock Motorcycle riders, but no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in Round #2.

Good luck all!
