[alsant]

Antron Brown
Matt Hagan
O Bob Utner

Good luck guys!!!!

 

[64BEL]

Reed - I think Wilk is close to putting it all together for a win, so I'm hoping his good data for Seattle will put him over the hump. He's my favorite racer, too. Torrence is a mighty fine pick, so we'll see. Ant won the Denver race just 2 weeks ago and swept the swing before, so again, looking at good data.

From a team perspective, I think it's a good thing that we're spreading out our picks a little so that hopefully at least one of us can stay up in the top. No team orders, though!!

 

[Gpuller]

No staging duels happening here.

Congrats to 'alsant' (FBBO) for earning the Top Qualifier title of the 2017 NHRA Northwest Nationals with an outstanding total of 23.0 bonus points. He picked the #1 qualifier in Top Fuel and the #2 qualifier in both Funny Car and Pro Stock. Way to go!
Both 'cuda20' (FABO) and 'memike' (FABO) were right behind tied for the #2 qualifier spot with 22.0 bonus points.
More great picks!

We have 16 players for the Northwest Nationals and 14 different driver combos made up of:
* 4 different Top Fuel drivers. No Round 1 or Round 2 head-to-head matchup possibilities. The first could come in the semi-finals if they all survive until then.
* 6 different Funny Car drivers with one Round 1 head-to-head matchups between #6 qualifier Ron Capps (3 picks) and #11 qualifier Tim Wilkerson (1 pick). There is also a chance of one head-to head matchup in Round 2.
* 5 different Pro Stock drivers. Again, no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. One possible matchup in Round #2.

Good luck all!
