THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN INDY

Yes, the Quizter is aware of how that statement could be viewed as sacrilegious, what with the '06 US Nats just now fading from the screens of America's televisions. Maybe it's because the Lil Q discovered the Big Go well after the days of 64-car Top Fuel fields. Or maybe he just didn't get his personalized invite from the Front Office in Glendora. Oh, they don't do that, ya say? No matter, there is always next year. Anywhoo, If there is anyone out there who is just a little tired of the US Nats PR trail, try this month's quiz on for size. It's about the old American Hot Rod Association, at one time a true challenge and threat to NHRA's position of dominance in drag racing. Dig deep, fans, and find the answers!
