A thank you note from Chris Karamesines

[.]

posted on the DRO FB page:

We'd like every race fan to know what generosity Don Schumacher and his crew of hard working guys have accomplished in the last week. Don Schumacher graciously lent Chris one of his dragsters to run this year. Besides working on their own dragsters, Schumacher's crew all pitched in and remade the new dragster to fit The Greek. Chris is overwhelmed by what Don and his crew have done. Along with life-long sponsors Strange Engineering and Forest Lucas (sealed with a handshake), Greek says he'll put his retirement on the back burner for just one more year... - Chris and Sandy Karamesines

Thanks Don, He remembers how the sport used to be. Racers helping racers

This is no surprise. Don and his DSR team have always been great ambassadors for the sport.

What happened to his old car, did I miss something?

 

[Just Paul]

His old car had some miles on it. It was an ex- Knoll/Cannon car. The car in the photo is of the old car.

I wonder if the new one will have a Canopy on it?

I wonder if the new one will have a Canopy on it?

No, this is a pre-canopy chassis. I want to say it's one of Spencer's old cars, but I'm not 100%

 

[Just Paul]

Ok cool.

but mite have to try to sneek one with the legend if he's @ BIR in august

That would be great to see him get a win. Would love to be there. Can you imagine the ROAR from the crowd?? the bleachers would fall down.
