Inclement weather in Martinsville today so no qualifying bonus points

I'm going to be at my Inland Mopars Car Club monthly meeting tomorrow and won't have access to a television for the start of the race.
So, the cutoff time to post your race picks for Martinsville will be 11:00AM EDT (2:00PM PDT) whether the race starts at that time or not.

Sweet 64Bel....you on a pit crew or something?
Ha Ha!

 

[64BEL]

Yeah...just wait, Ski. I've been known to do very well before, but I always end up in the basement by the end! LOL

 

[Budnicks]

Way to go aslant & 64BEL

at-least I didn't go backwards this race
all my picks went out in the semis IIRC

64Bel,
I'm going backwards I think....
Budnicks, you always do good with this.......

I cant figure this out, If you win a final does that count for big points or is it picking the #1 qualifier?
(I'm so confused)

 

[Nick2317]

last 2 races for me I qualified good then crapped the bed in the race ....oh well

The most points are earned in eliminations, so picking a winner is better than picking top qualifier. It all depends on how the others do, too. Sometimes you do well but if others do better you may not move up as much as you would hope.
