Congratulations to 'cuda20' (FABO) and 'cuda20' (FABO) for winning the Top Qualifier title of the 2018 SpringNationals with a nice total of 22.0 bonus points each. He picked the #1 qualifier in both Funny Car and Pro Stock, and the #5 qualifier in Top Fuel.
'alsant' (FBBO), 'Duster79' (FABO), 'Nick2317' (FBBO) and 'super-bee_ski' (FBBO) all tied for the runner-up spot with 21.5 bonus points. Way to go!
Good luck all in eliminations tomorrow!

We have 14 players again this week with 11 different driver combos made up of:
* 5 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There could be one head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations if they both survive the opening round.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers with no Round 1 or Round 2 head-to-head matchups.
* 4 different Pro Stock drivers picked this week. No Round 1 head-to-head matchups but a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations.

Good luck all! ​

I was away from a TV all day yesterday and didn't see the SpringNationals results until late last night.
I'll try and get the results posted tonight but no guarantee - might be tomorrow at the latest.
