2007 Off-Season Trivia, Rd. 1

Post by mlittle » Sat Dec 30, 2006 5:21 pm

Once again, it's time to dust off the voluminous history of North American open-wheel racing and face, returning after several months' absence, the first round of off-season trivia. :)

Hopefully, I've found some new questions to challenge those who visit; please send answers via PM no later than midnight U.S. EST 14 Jan.{04:00 GMT 14 Jan.}. Good luck, and enjoy!! :bouncec: :bounce: :bouncest: :twinb: :bounceg: :bouncey: :burnout: :burnout:

Questions 1-5 deal with specific places of various tracks.......
1--the Kink/Canada Corner
2--the Keyhole
3--Paddock Hill Bend
4--the Boot
5--Moss Corner

6--When the dust settled after the 2006 running of the Indianapolis 500, 2 members of the Andretti family finished on the podium. Which two were they?

7--What 4-time winner of the Indy 500 has also won the Rolex 24-Hr. at Daytona sportscar race?

8--What two rounds of the 2007 ChampCar schedule are held on airport runways?

9--In 2003, Rahal-Letterman Racing(then known as Team Rahal) became the first team in NA motorsports to run three different drivers in three different open-wheel series'. Who were they, and which series' did they compete in?

10--Who currently holds the record for the highest finish by a woman in the IRL IndyCar Series?
