Open Wheel Trivia IV--The Women of the Brickyard
Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2005 1:23 pm
Now, I got the idea for this round of open-wheel trivia from a posting in the Formula 1 category, the TEAM PAIRINGS thread, after reading somebody's posting saying that they believed that there would be no women drivers in F1 in the forseeable future.(If I've mangled the quote from danilen1's posting there, I apologize in advance.)That side, it got me to thinking, how many women have competed at the famous Brickyard? Well, that question was previosuly answered in trivia III, so here's the answer to that question: Janet Guthrie, Lyn St. James, Sarah Fisher and Danica Patrick.
Here, then, are the 10 questions for open wheel trivia IV, appropriately titled, Women of the Brickyard. PM your answers to me by midnight U.S. EDT 13 September(04:00 UTC same date; 2:00 PM AEST 14 Sept.). Good luck...you'll need it!
