Door Prize drawings will take place throughout the evening.

While you're there, make sure you sign up to tour the ROUSH Performance Facility (which is separate from the ROUSH Collection Museum), to see firsthand what goes into making a ROUSH Mustang .

And what fun would it be without a little competition? While there, watch two teams from the ROUSH Engine Build Department at the open house will compete side by side to build a complete engine and present a live test run of their work. The winner will be selected based on which team built a working engine the fastest.
