We started a trivia thread over at another forum and it has been a lot of fun.

Here are the ground rules. It starts with one question. The first reply with the right answer gets the floor for a new question. It continues like that unless, A) the person who has the floor doesn't ask a new question, or B) no one gets the correct answer. In that case, the person with the floor asks a new question. No more than one question on the floor at a time, and discussion/clarification is welcome until the floor is taken over by a new question.

See this thread for an example of how it goes: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/trivia/1454/page1/

First question: In the 1952 Indy 500, what type of fuel was burned in the record-setting pole-position #28 car? Hint: it won pole position by a full 4 mph over the second-place Ferrari

Optima battery what a Joke

I bought a red top optima battery 3 weeks ago to go in my truck,we got all electrical wiring complete today .when I tried to turn the engine to install distrubitor the &200 dollar battery was Dead Never Been Used so I read the papers that came with the battery ,it reads NEVER let the voltage drop below 12.4 volts you must buy a special charger for it,and keep a trickle charger on it when not used daily.? if it drops below 10.5 volts you cannot charge it ,you must hook it to a fully charged battery then connect the charger to the charged battery for two hours before the Optima will take charge ,no jump start unless you have two hours ,mine is going back tomorrow ,what a POS for two hundred dollars 196 to be exact.:evil::evil:

Nope, nope and nope! American company, been around along time. They have always made high end tires. You won't find them at just any old tire store. As I explained in the origional question I'm not talking about all white gum rubber tires. I am talking about a true white wall.
