They both had an outstanding total of 116.5 points with class wins in both Top Fuel and Funny Car. Their Pro Stock pick lost in the 2nd round of eliminations. They were both helped with ET bonus points in Pro Stock.
'stroked340' (FABO) grabbed the runner-up spot for the second event in a row, this time with 112.5 points.


Here's where the bonus points were earned if you picked the right drivers:

Congratulations to 'Nick2317' (FBBO) for winning the 2021 NHRA New England Nationals Top Qualifier title with a very nice total of 22.5 bonus points. He picked Budnicks' picked the #1 qualifier in both Funny Car and Pro Stock, and the #4 qualifier in Top Fuel. Way to go!
'Budnicks' (FBBO), 'shittyslant6' (FABO) and 'stroked340' (FABO) share the #2 qualifier spot with 22.0 points each. More great picks!

We have 14 players this week and 11 different driver combos made up of:
* 4 different Top Fuel drivers with one Round 1 head-to-head matchup between #6 qualifier Antron Brown (2 pick) and #7 qualifier Brittany Force (1 pick).
* 6 different Funny Car drivers. The earliest possibility of a head-to-head matchup would be Round 2 of eliminations if both drivers survive Round 1.
* 4 different Pro Stock drivers. The earliest possibility of a head-to-head matchup would be Round 2 of eliminations if both drivers survive Round 1.

Remember when?

There's a good article by Phil Burgess on nhra.com today about the 900 NHRA Funny Car event milestone that was hit last weekend. The article leads off with this great shot from one of the big car count funny car events at OCIR. I don't know if this pic is from one of the Manufacturer Meets or one of their 64 funny car events.
Chances are, I was there and not too far from where this pic was shot since this is from the pitside grandstands.
Enjoy...
