There's going to be a slight delay in posting game results following Sonoma. The results shown on NHRA.com don't agree with the qualification ladder. I checked competitionplus.com and they show different results.
I'll post results as soon as I can verify the correct round-by-round winners.
Sorry.
If anyone finds the correct results please let me know.

Update (07/30/18) - I'm recording a replay of the race broadcast tonight and will check it for the correct results.

Here's your 1-day late "Tuesday-before-the-event" reminder for the "Kitty Litter" NHRA Northwest Nationals that starts Friday, August 3rd.
The entry list currently shows:
16 Top Fuel
18 Funny Car
16 Pro Stock

The extended weather forecast calls for a high temp of 70F on Friday with a 50%-70% chance of light rain from 1:00AM through 1:00PM, 72F on Saturday and 76F on Sunday.

Get your picks posted and cross your fingers we get all of qualifying and the rest of this event in on schedule!


NOTE: I recorded the TV replay from the Sonoma Nationals but haven't yet had time to go through it all and verify results. Work has been horrendous so far this week with personnel out that's required some extra hours. And today is my wife's birthday so I better not be spending time on drag racing - if I know what's good for me. LOL.
But I will have results from the Sonoma Nationals posted before the Northwest Nationals starts up on Friday.
