Yeah Nick!
I have NO CLUE on the Don Schumacher team and their troubles!
And: Tony Schumacher STILL doesn’t have a ride
What is going on there?

I'm late for me & picks, I was/am sick/got a damn cold
but I'll get it in time
Vegas baby
T/F Steve Torrence
(prediction him or Billy will win)
F/C Robert Hight
(prediction him or John Force will win)
P/S Bo Butner
'rolling the dice baby'
(way to close a class at the top, to call anyone as a prediction,
anyone in the top 5-6 or even Anderson 99 points back in 7th,
in points, can still win)
P/SM Matt Smith
'rolling the dice again, hope it's not craps'
seems like he's got some of his **** sorted out after
making an *** out of himself, with Steve Johnson calling him
'a hobby racer', because he didn't have an engine program
like daddy's boy access (Tricky Rickey Smith's shop) like Matt does
then Matt (& Angie) getting put out in early rounds
& Steve going rounds, what a freaken' dork
(I was thinking of going with a Suzuki, but can't do it, just got that feeling
I predict the Harley's, Andrew & Eddie, other than Angell will do well too,
(not sure what's up with her or her equipment)
I just hope/gambling (another Vegas pun) it's Matt (Buell/S&S), that does better)
Good luck everyone

I had one good prediction Matt Smith
the rest were OK,
I was hoping S. Torrence would beat Britney too
T/F should be really interesting 55 pt between top 3
Britney only 16 back, Doug in 3rd
F/C should be close too
Hight ahead by 46 over Beckman
56 over Hagan & 72 over John Force
still a lot of championships to be determined at Pomona
Enders & Hine pretty much have P/S & P/SM wrapped up
unless they go out 1st round or don't quaify
150% pt.'s count should make for some interesting outcomes

OK, I have the new point totals but I'm not going to post them right now.
Just know that there was a lot of movement and this is going to be a barnburner of a final event with points-and-a-half at the NHRA finals.
Who's going to play it safe and who's going to go BIG with their picks?
Stay tuned...
