EURO THRASH

Yes, the Quizler said "thrash" not "trash." We statesiders love our European drag racing brethren just as we love our own. Internationalism is a big buzz word these days along various political fronts, and so it should be in the 1320 sport. After all, no less a light than John Force made his first fiery splash not in the USA, but in Australia. No, Australia is not considered part of Europe, but it was a colony -- weren't we all, at one time or another? So without further ado, let's take a shot at Europe - not literally, just take the quiz, and enjoy!
