OK...here's your Tuesday-before-the-event reminder and update on the entry list for the U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway with qualifying starting on Friday.
The NHRA.com entry list currently shows 18 Top Fuel, 18 Funny Car, 21 Pro Stock and 22 Pro Stock Motorcycle entries but those counts can still change.
Check to verify who's driving what as there've been a driver change in Top Fuel and there are a couple of new names in Pro Stock we haven't yet seen this season.

Agree - I don't care for that kid Tanner at all. I looked up the definition of entitlement and his picture was there. 
Talked to his grandpa, Johnnie, at a race once. Seemed like a nice good old boy. I liked him.

As always this is JMO, but I think the television coverage of the 2017 U.S. Nationals was one of the best I've seen - despite the two main announcers. I really enjoyed seeing the final round races of all the eliminators from Stock on up.
And having a '69 Dodge Dart currently in 'build mode', congratulations to Larry Gilley and his E/SA 1969 Dodge Dart for winning Stock Eliminator!
Congratulations to 'Duster79' (FABO) for winning the 2017 U.S. Nationals "Top Picker Eliminator" title with an outstanding 223.0 points. He picked the class winner in Pro Stock Motorcycle, both his Funny Car and Pro Stock picks lost in the finals and his Top Fuel pick went out in the semi-finals. His point total was helped by ET bonus points in both Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle and Speed bonus points in Pro Stock Motorcycle.
'stroked340' (FABO) was the event runner-up with 206.0 points.
'Nick2317' was the top FBBO player with 157.5 points.
Here's where the bonus points were earned if you picked the right drivers:
Top Fuel
E.T. - Clay Millican, 3.663 during qualifying
Speed - ATony Schumacher, 330.31 during qualifying
Funny Car
E.T. - Matt Hagan, 3.799 during qualifying
Speed - Matt Hagan, 338.77 during qualifying
Pro Stock
E.T. - Greg Anderson, 6.561 during qualifying
Speed - Bo Butner, 210.34 during qualifying
Pro Stock Motorcycle
E.T. - Eddie Krawiec, 6.822 during qualifying

Nice job on qualifiers NICK 
nice job on Eliminations NICK
FC's Hagan was a disappointment
so was my pick in FC Hight,
I read Beckman was fastest in testing
I knew I should have stuck with Capps
I knew I shouldn't pick Schumacher
I read he was fasted in testing there,
oh well, I knew better, such is life...
