No, we're not getting started on the 2019 NHRA "Pick 'Em" game this early. I'm just asking for some suggestions.
The NHRA released their 2019 National Event Class Schedule and combined with their earlier decision to only run an 18-race schedule for Pro Stock cars it throws a little bit of a monkey wrench at the way the "Pick 'Em" game has been run in the past. Historically, the "Pick 'Em" game has had only three Pro classes at eight National events because of the 16-race schedule for Pro Stock Motorcycle. Now with the 18-race Pro Stock car schedule there are four National events where Top Fuel and Funny Car will be the only Pro classes competing: Houston, Topeka, Bristol and Epping.
The Factory Stock Showdown class would be interesting, since Mopar is a big-time competitor, as a replacement but the only one of the above listed events they'll be competing at will be Topeka.
Pro Mod would also be interesting but Epping is not included on their 12-race schedule.
Top Fuel Harley will be competing at all four of the above listed events as part of their 10-race schedule.
So, whatcha wanna do? Following are some options...
* Do the "Pick 'Em" game as before but with only two classes (Top Fuel and Funny Car) at four of the 24 events
* Add Pro Mod as a 5th "Pro" class. But there would still only be two classes for the game at the Epping event
* Add Top Fuel Harley as a 5th "Pro" class. This would provide a minimum of three classes at all events, and five classes at both Gainesville and Indianapolis.
Think about it and post your opinions back to this thread. I'll take all of your opinions under consideration and let y'all know when the 2019 "Pick 'Em" game rules are posted to this thread sometime around mid-January.
Thanks!
