Full Throttle

Ok F1 fans… what the hell is it?
The only clue you get is this is an image of a prototype.

Trivia Masters, it’s been a while since Full Throttle has tested your mad trivia busting skills. What you see is what you get, which truth be told, isn’t much.

Here’s a few questions for the trivia masters that I failed to post prior to the weekends event in Sonoma.
1. Why was the primary sponsor of the Marcos Ambrose/Woods Bros #21 Fusion Motorcraft and not the usual Little Debbie Cakes?
2. Who was the first Australian driver to race a Ford at Infineon?
3. What Australian driver [...]

“Your mission, Jim (and “Jane”), should you decide to accept it, is…”
…to identify the driver whose late model (Toledo 1976) is pictured below.
Before moving into NASCAR he was a short track terror in the south and occasionally trucked north to raise hell and checkered flags in the mid-west and Canada.
He competed in both [...]

This edition of trivia involves the “number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9.”
And no, before you ask, I haven’t turned Full Throttle into a Beatles anthology blog.
A clue to the drivers name pictured can be found within the lyrics of the Beatles Revolution 9. In fact more than just a clue but [...]

The title is about all you get for a clue.
Just who is that man in that race car? The driver attained so much fame that giving even the slightest, most obtuse hint may give the farm away. And hell, I’m on a roll, the last edition of trivia was so off the wall it scared [...]

Your mission should you accept it is to name the NASCAR driver who drove the car pictured, what race it competed in and the year[s] and venue[s].
That’s it, that’s all you get for clues, ’cause I’m damn tired of posting what I think is the most trivial trivia in NASCAR Nation and having it thrown [...]

If you had 10,000 people and they burned their way through 100 clutches, 800 cases of oil, more than 900 brake pads and more than 4000 tires in a single year, where would they be?
That’s it, I said it was the quicky version. You didn’t believe me.
Think ’60’s-’70’s driver.
Then think today.

With Daytona just around the corner I thought this week’s Old Timer’s Trivia would head to the opposite end of the country.
Just who is at the wheel of the #77 1956 Chevy, and what long dead dirt track is he blasting around?
This driver once held a record now held by F1’s Fernando Alonzo as the [...]

This edition of trivial trivia is all encompassing because the subject manufacture has produced race cars in so many different forms of racing.
With 2008 being it’s anniversary year as Great Britain’s longest-serving manufacturer it has produced winning machines in the club classes to Formula One, endurance sports racers and Indy Cars.
The most famous version of [...]

Sorry Formula One Umbrella Girl fans - topless or otherwise - what you see pictured left, although topless in the broadest of senses, isn’t what the title suggests. Obviously.
But it is topless and for good reason, if it were an image of the fully skinned vehicle the color may be too much of a clue [...]

It has been a while since posting a trivia edition so in honor of one of the world’s legendary motor races being held this weekend I offer this image and the smallest of clues as to who is at the wheel and, where and when.
The driver is a living legend in the series having won [...]

If any of you trivia masters can figure out what the hell this is in anything less than 5 attempts I’d be amazed!
And don’t go beggin’ for clues either.
All you get is the vintage, 1955, and confirmation it is in fact a race car that actually saw action on a real race track. (real as [...]

Many stories have crossed the wires the last few hours noting Saturday’s 400 at Daytona will be the last restrictor plate race held on a super speedway. In a small way it’s a history making event as the CORN will reign supreme (or not) when Talladega rolls around for the next restrictor plate race.
Another historical [...]

This weeks trivial trivia once again centers on the world of Formula One racing.
It concerns someone who could be described as a “journeyman,” a driver newspapers variously called “a new cult hero,” “the world

As much as old goats like myself, or the likes of James Hilton, still pine for the days of dragging your stock car into a speedway on a rollback or flat bed trailer they are long past. (but far from forgotten)
I’ve touched on NASCAR’s Fly Boys previously (Helicopters, Greg Biffle & dog sperm - Oh [...]

Your mission should you except it is to identify the track, driver and F1 machine in this video.

A large part of any sport’s mystique resides with its history.
Unfortunately, like the rest of us mere mortals, the iconic figures that are part of sport eventually pass onto a Heavenly ballpark, football pitch or racetrack in the sky.
Luckily, the racing icon pictured left is still with us. However given his advanced age I question [...]

For better or worse (mostly worst) race tracks the world over featured Armco barriers to separate race cars from grandstands, trees and many other things that would cause harm to man, women, children and 8, 10 and 12 cylinder mechanical beasts.
With few exceptions Armco barriers have been relegated to the dustbin of history because of [...]

As you can see this edition of trivia requires you to correctly identify the former race track as it appeared in 2001.
Since this picture was taken a Costco store, a Shopping Center has been built plus a parcel of vacant land.
In addition there is some dispute exactly where this landmark was located, some say it’s [...]
