 FUNNY CAR FEVER

Hot on the heels of the cancellation of this year's edition of the March Meet, the Quizter feels compelled to think about nostalgia funny cars. The '06 March Meet would have featured the biggest and best gathering of the new/old breed since the 1970s, if Mother Nature hadn't interceded. About those nostalgia nitro floppers -- what happened in '05, who's building new cars, who's fast so far in '06? If you can read and retain, this quiz should be no sweat. For the rest of us, see the archives. Get to thrashing!!!
