The auction will feature three rings, and will include racing memorabilia of HVM Racing and other IndyCar teams (photos, t-shirts, polos, jackets, racing suits, helmets, shoes and more), as well as HVM hospitality materials, tools, metal fabrication equipment, radios, computers and other equipment. The wide array of items being auctioned is expected to attract both racing professionals and fans.
