A couple of weeks late thanks to Mother Nature's delayed final round from the 2024 Winternationals, but here are the results and current point standings:
Congratulations to 'cuda20' (FABO) for winning the "Top Picker Eliminator" title for the 2024 NHRA Winternationals with a very nice total of 118.5 points. Both his Funny Car and Pro Stock picks lost in the delayed round of eliminations. His Top Fuel pick lost in Round 2 of eliminations. He was helped with Speed bonus points in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock.

I went to the 4 wide at ZMax last year and I will say it didn't impress me any either. With 4 cars on the track at the same time you can't see everything that is going on. Plus another wall in the middle you can't see the other lanes. The bleachers need to be higher for the spectators to see better.

Reminder...
The 4-Wides are scored differently. I will be using the same scoring this year as previously used and, again, this scoring is only for the 4-Wide events, both Las Vegas and Carolina.
Points change for 4-Wide events ONLY!!!
Same rules as the past several years:
* These events only have 3 rounds of eliminations. Event scoring will be similar to the NHRA points scoring.
* Qualifying position bonus points are the same as always
* Each pro elimination round is run with 4 cars per race rather than 2, and 2 cars advance from each of the first 2 rounds of eliminations.
* First round: Four races of four cars each. The 1st car of each race to cross the finish line will get 10 points, the 2nd car will get 5 points. Eight cars advance to the second round of eliminations.
* Second round: Two races of four cars each. Same scoring as the first round. Four cars advance to the final round of eliminations.
* Final round: One race of four cars. 1st Place finisher will get 10 points, 2nd Place will get 5 points, 3rd Place will get 3 points, 4th Place will get 1 point.
* Same scoring for quickest e.t. and fastest speed for the event and for any national record set at this event.
Again, this scoring will be for the 4-Wide events only.
