Public invited to R2B2 Open House prior to Atlanta race

DULUTH, Ga. (May 8) -- Fans of drag racing and cool custom cars will have a rare opportunity to get an inside look at both on Thursday, May 13, when R2B2 Motors opens its doors to the public.

"On behalf of everyone on our race team, R2B2 Motors, and ProCare Rx, I would like to invite everyone to our annual open house," said team owner and racer Roger Burgess. "We encourage you to stop by to say hello and tour our shop and showroom.

"The shop is packed with some really cool exotic cars, hot rods, muscle cars, antique rides and a Chip Foose Coupe, among many other specialty rides. And Melanie Troxel and Ray Commisso will lead an all-star cast of drivers on hand."

The open house will run from 5-10 p.m. EDT at the R2B2 headquarters at 3265 Commerce Avenue in Duluth, Ga., which is 45 minutes south of Atlanta Dragway -- just off the direct route from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to the racetrack.

A donation to DRAW, a charitable organization set up to help injured racers and their families, is asked in lieu of public admission.

There will be food, drinks, live entertainment, a raffle, speedboats and the team's racecars: the In-N-Out Burger Dodge Charger Funny Car, the In-N-Out Burger '63 Corvette Pro Mod, both driven by Melanie Troxel; the '63 Corvette Pro Mod driven by Burgess and the '67 Camaro Pro Mod driven by Raymond Commisso.
