For those close enough like me (8 miles) check out the R2B2 Open House in Duluth, GA.

Fans of drag racing and cool custom cars will have a rare opportunity to get an inside look at both 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 to 10 p.m. EDT at the R2B2 headquarters, 3265 Commerce Ave., Ga., which is 45 minutes south of Atlanta Dragway -- just off the direct route from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Int'l Airport to the racetrack.
A donation to DRAW, a charitable organization that helps 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 race cars: the In-N-Out Burger Dodge Charger Funny Car and the In-N-Out Burger '63 Corvette Pro Mod, both driven by Troxel; the '63 Corvette Pro Mod driven by Burgess; and the '67 Camaro Pro Mod driven by Commisso.
