Cam will run a limited NOSA "Outlaw" Sprint racing series and will also travel to Indiana for some select races with the USAC sprint car and the INEX Thunder Roadster car. How does the lineage go....dad's cousin is Cam's grandfather. For those of you who attended mom and dad's 50th anniversary you may remember - Cam and his father and mother (Dave & Lisa Schaffer) came down from Minnesota to help us celebrate. www.camschafer.com | |
