March Meet Quiz

Blake Bowser at Auto Club Famoso Raceway has given us tickets for the upcoming 52nd March Meet on March 5 – 7.  So we rattled the four-poster bed of our retired questioner emeritus Chris Martin for a March Meet Quiz. He rolled out of the bed, took a shot of Nyquil, ordered up a six-pack of White Castle sliders and went to work on this quiz. The winners of this March Meet Quiz are the first five entries to correctly answer all seven questions from the quiz-meister get a pair of one-day, General Admission tickets for the March Meet, the biggest nostalgia drag racing show around.

Put on your thinking cap, get out the old programs and old issues of Drag News from the garage and give us your answers. In case of a tie the first one to get them correct  gets the ducats!
