We both might be better served if we can figure out how to slow down 'TT5.9mag'.
What do we need to do to get him to pick all non-participating drivers this week?

Congratulations to 'Yunick13' (FABO) for winning the Top Qualifier title for the 14th event of the 2023 NHRA season, the 41st annual Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals with an outstanding total of 22.0 bonus points. He picked the #1 qualifier in Top Fuel and the #3 qualifiers in both Funny Car and Pro Stock. Way to go!
'TT5.9mag' (FABO) was right behind with 21.5 bonus points.
The top FBBO qualifier was 'Outlawd' with 21.0 bonus points.

More great picks!

We have 15 players again this week and 13 different driver combos made up of:
* 4 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. The earliest possibility of a head-to-head matchup is in the semi-final round if the drivers survive that far.
* 5 different Funny Car drivers with no Round 1 hed-to-head matchup. There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations if all drivers survive Round 1.
* 5 different Pro Stock drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchup in the 2nd round of eliminations if all drivers survive Round 1.

Good luck all!
 
Congratulations to 'memike' (FABO) and 'stroked340' (FABO) for sharing the 41st annual Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals "Top Picker Eliminator" title with very nice totals of 110.5 points each.
Their shared professional class picks in Funny Car and Pro Stock won their respective classes. Their shared Top Fuel pick lost in the second round of eliminations. They DID NOT earn any ET or Speed bonus points because they did not post new picks this week; their picks were carried over from previous weeks.
'Budnicks' was the top FBBO player with 98.0 points.


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

Top Fuel
E.T. - Mike Salinas, 3.654 while winning Round 2 of eliminations
Speed - Mike Salinas, 338.26 while winning Round 2 of eliminations

Funny Car
E.T. - Robert Hight, 3.881 while winning Round 1 of eliminations
Speed - Ron Capps, 333.08 while winning Round 2 of eliminations

Pro Stock
E.T. - Deric Kramer, 6.546 while winning Round 1 of eliminations
Speed - Matt Hartford, 209.04 while losing Round 2 of eliminations
