2025 15th Annual FABO NHRA "Pick 'Em" Game - I Can't Wait!!!

[Budnicks]

Thanks to a little weather intervention by "Mother Nature", 'ocdart' (FABO) managed to have the highest score for the 2025 season-opening NHRA Gatornationals Top Qualifier title with a total of 30.5 bonus points. He picked the #1 qualifiers in both Top Fuel and Funny Car, the #2 qualifier in Pro Stock Motorcycle and the #3 qualifier in Pro Stock.
'TT5.9mag' (FABO) was right behind with 29.5 bonus points.
The top FBBO qualifier was 'Outlawd' with 26.0 bonus points.

More great picks!

We have 15 players to start the season this week and 14 different driver combos made up of:
* 5 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchups in Round 2 if all four drivers survive Round 1.
* 5 different Funny Car 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 survive Round 1. One Funny Car driver pick did not qualify for Sunday eliminations.
* 4 different Pro Stock 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 survive Round 1.
* 2 different Pro Stock Motorcycle drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. The only possibility of a head-to-head matchup would be in the final round of eliminations if both drivers survive through the first three rounds of eliminations.

Good luck all!

Congrats @ocdart top qualifier

Nice Job OC and Bud !!

1st race I'm going on the blind squirrel theory
yea ha !! 0.5 point back in #2

I'd done better "IF"
3 picks in the finals & 2 winners, 1 runner up
sort of surprised P/S Greg Anderson blew of the tires in the final
KB Titan team still won

JFR Jack Beckman also did well, should have figured that one too
lost in finals IIRC

yeah F/C Austin Prock/Jimmy Prock Crew Chief & family sort of surprised me
shocked really, not being able to get down the track,
& the breakage set them back
grenade'd that rear end, only Top Fuels cars were doing that prior
