TESTING, TESTING, 1-2-3!

Nobody likes to take a test. Except of course fans of the DRO Quiz. And drag racers preparing for the upcoming season. Sometimes racers even like to TAKE a test in midseason. Other times, racers take part in test sessions cleverly disguised as actual events. Whatever, whenever and where ever testing occurs, interest abounds! So take the quiz (test) already, and find out what you know about testing, as revealed in the past pages of Drag Racing Online.

#1 At the 2006 Phoenix test session, who was quickest of the Team Force funny cars?
A ERIC MEDLIN B ROBERT HIGHT	C ASHLEY FORCE D JOHN FORCE
#2 As shown in DRO's photo coverage of the 2006 Las Vegas test sessions, what body style covers the alcohol funny car of Paul Crifasi?
A DODGE STRATUS B CHEVY IMPALA	C HONDA INTEGRA D OLDS CUTLASS

A 191.05 B 191.99	C 192.05 D 192.01

#5 A race or a test? A spectacle or a boondoggle? Just another race or giant step for mankind? That's not the question. The question is, who won the Top Fuel title, and the $101,000 that went with it at the 2005 Rocket City Nationals?
A JOHN SMITH B CORY MAC	C DOUG KALITTA D CLAY MILLICAN
