Time got away from me yesterday...
So, here's your day-after-Tuesday-before-the-event reminder and update on the entry list for the upcoming Midwest Nationals at Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, IL, with qualifying starting on Friday.
The current weather forecast shows high temps of 83F on Friday to 78F on Saturday and back to 83F on Sunday. The forecast also shows a 10% chance of some moisture on both Saturday and Sunday.
The NHRA.com entry list currently shows 20 Top Fuel, 19 Funny Car, 16 Pro Stock and 16 Pro Stock Motorcycle entries but those counts can still change.
Check to verify who's driving before posting your picks.

Congratulations to 'Duster79' (FABO) and 'johnnycuda' (FABO) for sharing the Top Qualifier title of the 2017 NHRA Midwest Nationals. They each earned an outstanding total of 30.0 bonus points. 'Duster79' picked the #1 qualifier in Pro Stock, the #2 qualifier in both Top Fuel and Pro Stock Motorcycle, and the #3 qualifier in Funny Car. 'johnnycuda' picked the #1 qualifier in both Funny Car and Pro Stock, the #2 qualifier in Pro Stock Motorcycle and the #4 pick in Top Fuel. Way to go!
'cuda20' (FABO) was in the #2 qualifier spot spot with 28.5 bonus points.
'Budnicks' was the top FBBO qualifier with 27.0 points
More great picks!
We have 15 players for the Midwest Nationals and 13 different driver combos made up of:
* 4 different Top Fuel drivers. No Round 1 head-to-head matchup possibilities, but one possible head-to-head matchup in Round 2 of eliminations.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers. Again no Round 1 head-to-head matchups but one possible head-to-head matchup in Round 2 of eliminations.
* 4 different Pro Stock drivers. No Round 1 head-to-head matchups but one possible Round 2 matchup
* 4 different Pro Stock Motorcycle riders. Again, no Round 1 head-to-head matchups but we could have one head-to-head matchup in Round 2 of eliminations.
Good luck all!

I'll try to have the updated standings posted tonight. Really busy weekend and very full date yesterday.
I still want to watch the recorded coverage of the Midwest Nationals before updating the game standings. I'm a fan too!
