If you're old enough to have gone to stock car races in the 60s and 70s, you are old enough to remember late night comic Johnny Carson on NBC's Tonight Show and the cast of characters he played. One of his favorite roles was as Carnac the Magnificen t , where he came out dressed in a satin cape wearing a turban (a role Humpy Wheeler also played at Charlotte Motor Speedway predicting pole winners and race winners ) and gave the answer to a question sealed in an envelope.
I thought it would be fun to see if yoU RR members can guess the question, based on the answers I'll provide.
Here are the answers:
NOT BILL ELLIOTT'S
NOT JODY RIDLEY'S
NOT BILL DENNIS'
BUT, MATT RYAN'S
OK, now you have the answer: NOT BILL ELLIOTT'S, NOT JODY RIDLEY'S, NOT BILL DENNIS', BUT MATT RYAN'S!
Can You guess the question???
OK... as the audience breathlessly awaits the answer, Carnac's sidekick, Jeff Gilder tears open the sealed envelope to reveal the question: WHOSE FALCONS DID THE CAROLINA PANTHERS EAT FOR LUNCH THIS AFTERNOON?
THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!
