IN SUPPORT OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

The Old Quizzter has always been a realist. So, in spite of a personal philosophy that holds drag racing to be a particularly All-American pastime, even he would admit that the times, they are a-changing!  In recognition of the changes in the landscape of the straight line sport, this month's quiz deals with the NHRA Xplod Sport Compact drag racing series. Love 'em, hate 'em, or lavish them with disdain, the Imports are not going away. At least not anytime soon. So why not do a quiz about them, anyway? Here goes!

A GARY WHITE B MANUEL CRUZ	C CARLOS TORRES D BRAD PERSONETT
