$1,000 Trivia Race
Control of this round began with the team in the lead (or the champions if scores were tied). Three categories were always in play, with a new one replacing the category selected. Eubanks posed a question in the category and the controlling team was given three attempts to answer it. Answering the question correctly earned $100 and kept control, but if after three tries the team did not answer correctly, control passed to the opposing team. Except for a very brief period in February 1985, if neither team had reached the $1,000 goal after ten questions the value of each question was doubled to $200.
The first team to reach the goal won the game and advanced to the $10,000 Trivia Ladder.

Famous quotes containing the words trivia and/or race:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly. They make shift to live merely by conformity, practically as their fathers did, and are in no sense the progenitors of a nobler race of men.”
