Speedway motors museum - WOW!!!

[Oborny71]

this isn't truck related, but i had to share. I finally got to see the speedway motors museum. My buddy has a connection to "speedy" bill smith, so i was able to get a private tour of the place (its not open to the public) All i have to say is wow! that place is awesome! I saw some of the coolest things in there.
They had a V16 small block chevy, two blocks were put together- very sweet. had a ton of old racing engines, engine names most people have never even heard of, very interesting designs though. Had lots of old hot rods. one of these cars even had a $40,000 hood ornament! There were many famous race cars in there. they also had old peddle cars. My favorite was the $1 million dollar 32 roadster. It had a turbine engine in it that made 375hp, but it only weighed 1000 lbs. Talk about good power to weight ratio! And it had all sorts of electronic gadgets. It was AWESOME! It is supposed to maybe open this summer. But until then, if you are in the area and want to check it out, let me know. I got the girls number who gave me the tour. So i could get you in. Her dad owns the car that set the land speed record, and better yet, shes my age!
