Warsaw Speedway 1970's Quiz!
Congrats again Mark Coleman for getting the most answers correct!!
Nobody got all of the answers correct and #10 seemed to be the most difficult question with no one guessing the correct answer, Rocky Anders.
I've talked with Mark and learned just how much work he actually does to find out these answers! Should we put a bounty on his head like we used to do when DeWayne Barker won too many sprint features?? Good Luck on the upcoming 1980's quizzes!!
Thanks To Everyone That Participated!!
