I've mentioned several times about a 'blind squirrel' that's helped ocdart (FABO) find some decent picks in the past. Now I'm going to have to buy that squirrel a big bag of unsalted and already-shelled nuts as a reward for the total of 125.0 points scored for the 34th annual Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals! Those "squirrely" picks were Top Fuel and Pro Stock Motorcycle picks that won their respective classes and a Funny Car pick that lost in the semi-final round of eliminations. The Pro Stock Motorcycle pick also helped with ET bonus points.
'64BEL' (FBBO) got the runner-up spot with 114.5 points.
Here's where the ET and Speed bonus points were earned if you picked the right drivers:
Top Fuel
E.T. - Brittany Force, 3.703 during Round 1 of eliminations
Speed - Mike Salinas, 335.65 while losing during Round 1 of eliminations
Funny Car
E.T. - Robert Hight, 3.904 during Round 1 of eliminations
Speed - Matt Hagan, 333.49 during qualifying
Pro Stock Motorcycle
E.T. - Gaige Herrera, 6.728 during qualifying
Speed - Angie Smith, 200.62 during Round 1 of eliminations
