THE LOADED QUESTION - er

How 'bout them Cowboys!!! Man, do you guys have A/GS down. For the first time (or possibly second), we DRO-zers received more than one perfect response. Geoff Stunkard got everybody out of the hole and gets the biscuit, but guys like Terence M. Shivers, Gary Wright, Bob Plumer and Steve Kamei all went six for six.

So, what does this mean? No more quizzes.

Nah, we'll step it up just a tad. Since multiple choice seems to be the multitude choice, we'll go with that form one more time.

3. The winningest IHRA nitro Funny Car racer was:
