In addition to the 8,000 hp Funny Cars on display Castrol GTX Mustang Funny Car driver and current NHRA Full Throttle Funny Car point leader Mike Neff will be signing autographs at the Road Show from 12 p.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturday.
“We have taken the Road Show to NASCAR races and the Indy 500. We event took it up to Oshkosh for the AirVenture Air Show but I am really excited to be heading to the 2011 Indiana State Fair. Over one million people will attend The Fair this year and hopefully most of them will come this weekend and check out the John Force Racing Road Show.” said 15-time Funny Car champion John Force.

The Road Show will be located in Dow AgroSciences Celebration Park near Gate 16.

I am looking forward to spending some time with the folks at the State Fair on Saturday.”
