Not just a fan of vampires, but of sexy vampires.

If you’re going to go into a field, it probably helps to have the same semi-obscure name as one of its most famous practitioners. Drag racer Tony Schumacher, for example, has distant relative and Formula One champ Michael Schumacher out there. It has to make it easier to get a car when everyone starts thinking you have those Schumacher genes working. This is why when we eventually make the transition over to physics, we’re changing out name to Einstein McOppenheimer.

Schumacher, the five-time world champion and current points leader in the NHRA Top Fuel’s Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, was at Bite inside the Stratosphere last night a couple of days after an autograph session at the hotel. We are not sure how vampirism affects your time down the line when sitting on top of a stack of fire-breathing nitro. Probably a lot. It seems like the kind of thing that would help.
