If you are a fan of drag racing, making a trip to R2B2 Racecars in Gwinnett County is like a baseball fan going to Yankee Stadium.

For the second year, R2B2 opened up its headquarters for an open house with proceeds going to charity.  One the eve of the 31st Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway, fans got to see a Nitro Funny Car, Pro Mod Cars, and a great selection of other exotic autos.

This year's open house is more than just a way for R2B2 to grow stronger bonds with fans and fellow racers, it's also going to help the community with a raffle that will benefit the charity Dream House for Kids.

"This is a great chance to make a fan's dream come true and help children in need," Burgess said. "Historically, the NHRA community at large always rises to the occasion when the call goes out, and I expect everyone will be anxious to help Dream House for Kids."
