THE LOADED QUESTION-er

First Things First

January, the first month of the new year; the first day of the rest of your life, the first ... what the hell am I doing? You know why all this dross about "firsts". Quiz-wise, though, the answers can be put under the umbrella of firsts. First in the sixes, first over 200-mph, first arrested for drug possession, you know the drill. Actually, this should be fairly easy. If not ... whadaya want for free?

2. This is a little harder. The first Top Fuel winner at Orange County International Raceway on Sept. 14, 1967 was recently honored at the 2002 Bakersfield Hot Rod Reunion. He is A. James Warren B. Jeep Hampshire C. Bobby Tapia D. Tom McEwen
3. Pro Stock driver Darrell Alderman's first NHRA Pro Stock title came at the A. 1989 Gatornationals B. 1988 Gatornationals C. 1989 Southern Nationals D. 1988 Cajun Nationals

5. (No multiple choice here. This is ultra-contemporary query, pal. Either you know it or you don't.) This 2002 NHRA Funny Car driver finished in the POWERade Top 10, but as of yet has never made an NHRA FC final. Who is he?
