(Sept. 1, 2010) Race fans will not only have a chance to shake hands and say hello to some of the biggest names in NHRA racing and hear the pulsating roar of five Nostalgia Funny cars during the fifth annual Don Schumacher Racing Open House, but they’ll also have the chance to walk away with some exclusive racing memorabilia.

It’s a great day for a great cause and we hope that everyone going to the U.S. Nationals on Friday stops by our shop.” The open house event will again feature the Indy Hi-Winders Car Club Car and Motorcycle Show, an autograph session with all seven DSR professional drivers: Tony Schumacher, Cory McClenathan, Antron Brown, Rod Capps, Jack Beckman, Matt Hagan and Rod Fuller, and the wildly-popular nostalgia Funny Car cacklefest.
