Think I got it, at least according my 911 history book, but I agree that Porsche's HP figure is about 8 BHP off from my books...

Thanks for the fun game! I'd play weekly!

You got last month's question correct. Did you think you didn't? Just because you get it correct, doesn't mean you win. I randomly draw from those who got it right to give the price. David E. won May's, and I'll draw two more to give them something that Rennbay.com donated later today. You may still win, you never know.

Ok, I've populated the database for a new quiz each week. You guys will like them. I've tried to ask questions about all different models.

So be sure to check back each week to try your hand at that weeks trivia question!

Matt - Aside from careful research, how will we know if we are right or wrong?

Paul,

Look at the page now. You will see it says "Previous weeks" --

I'm going to make an entirely new page that has the "Week of xxx" and the question and answer.

Sound good?

I know this is all in good fun and not really a serious competition, but thought you should be aware that with multiple choice questions someone could just submit each of the 4 answers with 4 different e-mail addresses...so he would be guaranteed to be in the drawing even if he had no clue what the answer was. Or, someone that knows the answer could enter himself several times with multiple e-mail addresses. Is this just for rennlisters? If it is, you might want to have a field for "rennlist name".

Mouse,

I sorta left it up to the better judgement and integrity of the folks who read it on Rennlist and P-CarOnline.

There are ways around everything. I do not have the resources to fight dishonesty with this, but I don't think that is a reason NOT to have it.

Thanks for your thoughts. I have thought about that, but I still wanted to make the contest available.

Basically, my safeguard around that, is if the email address you supply isn't the one on in your P-CarProfile (which only I have access to), you can't win. I need to specify that more on the page.

Thanks again,
Matt

Thanks! I suppose this month's is a "trick" question, but I think folks are enjoying it.
