Welcome BAck

Welcome back quizsters. The quizmaster has been on sabbatical while his spare liver was being overhauled at the Betty Ford Clinic, but he is back in the saddle and ready to deliver a new quiz.

Since a lot of noise was made recently about Billy Glidden's five-race winning streak and the fact that his dad holds the record for consecutive wins in a professional doorslammer car the subject of this months quiz will be streaks and streakers.

#1 During the 1970's and 80's  when St, Louis International Raceway was the home for both  AHRA and IHRA National Events Don Garlits dominated the race! How many Top Fuel titles in a row did he win?
A 7	C 9
B 5	D 12
#2 In October 1975 Don Garlits set both ends of the Top Fuel records at 5.63 and 250.69 mph. That turned out to be the longest standing professional performance record in drag racing history. The record wasn't reset until Mark Oswald reset the speed record at 251.39 mph at the NHRA Winternationals in February 1982. Oswald broke the ET record at the E-town Summernationals in July 1982 running a 5.618. The question is, who was in the other lane when Garlits set the record in 1975?
