Looks like 'ocdart' (FABO) still has that blind squirrel hanging around because he found another nut and ended up with the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals Top Qualifier title with 29.0 bonus points and picks of the #1 qualifier in both Funny Car and Pro Stock, the #3 qualifier in Pro Stock Motorcycle and the #5 qualifier in Top Fuel.
Both 'alsant' (FBBO) and '64BEL' (FBBO) were right behind in the #2 qualifier spot with 28.5 bonus points each.
More great picks!

We have 14 players this week and 14 different driver combos made up of:
* 4 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of one head-to-head matchup in Round 2 if both drivers get through Round 1 with wins.
* 6 different Funny Car drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchups in Round 2 if all drivers survive Round 1.
* 4 different Pro Stock drivers. The earliest possibility of a head-to-head matchup is the Semi-Final round of eliminations.

* 4 different Pro Stock Motorcycle drivers. The earliest possibility of a head-to-head matchup is the Semi-Final round of eliminations.

Good luck all!
