[Budnicks]

Congratulations to 'Budnicks' (FBBO) and 'ocdart' (FABO) for sharing the 'Top Qualifier' title for the NHRA Finals with outstanding totals of 30.5 bonus points each. They each picked the #1 qualifier in Pro Stock and the #2 qualifiers in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
The runner-up qualifier spot is shared by 'alsant' (FBBO), 'duster79' (FABO), shittyslant6' (FABO) and 'stroked340' (FABO), all with 28.0 bonus points.
Great picks all!

We have 14 players this week and 12 different driver combos made up of:
* 4 different Top Fuel drivers with no head-to-head matchup in the opening round of eliminations. There is a possibility of a head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations if both drivers survive the Round 1.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers with one head-to-head matchup in the opening round of eliminations between #8 qualifier J.R. Todd (1 pick) and #9 qualifier Bob Tasca III (1 pick). There is also a possibility of a head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations if both drivers survive Round 1.
* 4 different Pro Stock drivers with no head-to-head matchups in the opening round of eliminations. The earliest possibility of a head-to-head matchup is in the semi-final round if the drivers survive until then.
* 5 different Pro Stock Motorcycle drivers with no head-to head matchups in the opening round of eliminations. There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchups in the 2nd round of eliminations if all drivers survive Round 1.

Good luck all!

good for US @ocdart

I had 3 event winners

T/F, P/S & P/SM
I loved seeing P/S Elite Erica Enders-Stephens get eliminated
that made my day

my F/C driver Ron Capps
(my favorite NHRA driver)
won the 2021 F/C championship, his 2nd
(hard to believe he hasn't won 10)
but he went out in the 2nd rd IIRC
that gave the edge to Matt, but;
then Matt Hagan lost, he had to win the event to be champ
so Ron Capps was champion

he has some sort of announcement in Dec. about his future in NHRA
I assume he will be in another or his own team
I wonder if NAPA will stay with him too, they should
I wish him the best of luck

silly season to commence

thanks @ocdart
it was a fun season, as normal
talking drag racing 'with like-minded' people & playing the game

can't wait till Feb.
or 'the March meet' too

I wonder if I made enough pts up
to close the 100+ pt gap, I had in 3rd to 1st
I have no idea what any of the FABO guys picked
except for ocdart
