This museum makes me want to be a hot rod fanatic! I want to go back again soon to see the new displays the staff were telling us about. I was really impressed with the quality of this place; it reminds me of a super clean mechanics garage where you *could* eat off the floor, if you wanted to. Five stars all the way!
Nice place and great ambience. Great for walking but some areas need some cleaning
Finally after years of promising myself to go to the NHRA (Wally Parks) museum. I made it and it did not disappoint.Theres such rich history there, from John Forces 200th win Wally, fantastic old photos of the glory days of drag racing, speed record cars, original helmets and jackets to drag bikes and memorabilia.Because I had other commitments I rushed through the museum in about 2.5 hours. Give yourself about 3.5 hours to take your time.
This place is full of horsepower and history... The people who built and drove these cars had nerves of steel! Stop by and enjoy the crazy that drag car racing has to offer. Great people here that will share the history with you if you have the time and are so inclined! A fabulous experience for this car guy!
What a neat little place in Pomona. A treasure trove of automotive engineering. Heres a few pics
If you are an NHRA fan at all, definitely take the tour of this facility. Lots of rich history and vehicles that have broken speed record after record. Wrap it into a trip to the LA Fair next year and check out some of the great dining establishments that are close by.
A lot of great history tied up in this place!
Pretty cool museum. Not very big but cool cars.
Great place to spend a day with your family.
My dad makes history hot rod Hall of Fame Im so great ful to to be apart of history of A leagion of my father
Great friendly staff and a great selection of historical cars and bikes
Great Plans to see the history of Drag Racing, how far its come, power wise and safety wise, if you remember the good old days drag racing this is the place for You, have fun and enjoy, just remember dont touch the cars,Thanks, (TOO MANY CARS,KITTY PASSED OUT)
I really would have liked to have had more time to read more on the cars and really take time to take it all in, unfortunately with two kids that was harder. I would have really liked if there was someone available to give more information is certain areas. If you like Hot Rods this is a great place to visit.
Excellent for drag races great seats layout is very good!!! Easy to get in and out!!!
Managed to sneak out early from my own presentation in Anaheim and take a side trip to the museum. Such a great presentation of the larger history of drag racing and SoCal car culture; far more than just the sanitized version of drag racing on television. Gift shop was limited and overpriced. And someone called security when I took one of the museum displays into the parking lot to practice burnouts..... otherwise a great stop!
Great Display nice to see old history
Great place to visit with a lot of history to see.
I dont remember why. But I did enjoy it.
When ever we get near the NHRA Motorsports Museum it is a must stop, and should be for any drag racing fan & anyone new to drag racing... Lots of history that makes Fast & Loud make perfect sense! It is always changing so if you have been in before, know it will be different on every visit. NHRA race weekend it is FREE to get in!
Not a huge place but packed full of race cars. We came on Fathers day and there was a special entrance pricing! Located in the Pomona Fairplex parking area so parking was easy and free. You are not allowed to touch any of the vehicles except for one which you can sit in.
Teds carburetor shop is great !
Ok place. It has some cool cars and cool old cars. We ( my wife and I ) were disappointed that that was all there was to a national museum for a major racing series. It just doesnt have that much. ( Have been to Daytons museum at the track and Nascar museum which are far more interactive and have much more to offer)
Great place to visit. Very historical place.
Lots of old great cars to see
Cant wait to go back
If you love drag racing and hot rods you need to go and see the cars
The cars and displays are amazing
Interesting old cars, worth a look if youre there for the drag races.
Fun place to go always enjoy my visits there.
All the history in one place on a self guided tour from the 50s till today.
Love the history of drag racing
A place for only men who are attracted to women belong!
If you are a racing enthusiast this museum will amaze you!
If I carry on too much, you have to know I have been coming to the races at Pomona since 1967 so many of the cars in the Museum I have seen on the drag strip when they were in their prime and at the top of their game. What memories. The displays are fabulous. To have all these machines preserved and in such wonderful shape is a feast for the imagination and the eye. I would be a docent if I lived near by, really. Be aware of some special setups that they have at the museum, special cars that travel around the country to various Museums and car shows. I had the opportunity to take a friend who loved batman so much she had a logo tattoo installed. When the docents at the museum saw it she was allowed to get in the bat-mobile for a photo shoot. How nice. It is a must see for drag racing fans and a good show for everybody else!
Great drag racing museum
Has the coolest display of the workings of a motor. Guys lining up to show their wives how the inside of a motor works. All the cars and history is AWESOME! The Top Fuel Dragster fuel consumption display is my favorite!
Some great history at this place, fun to see the advancements in speed.
If your a fan you have to visit
Always a great view
They. Were aswome
The place is awesome but the personnel there are some of the rudest people I have ever met. The guard on the north side of the child development center frowned constantly at us and acted like he hated to be there much less help out some out of towners with there questions. When I complained to the lady inside she could have cared less about the incident so we left. Like I said, awesome place but very rude people.
Great experience for any automotive enthusiast.
Awesome history of American drag racing
I really enjoyed the exibits. Lady at the desk was very friendly. A must see for a car enthusiast, gear head.
Just cool!
Great place
Awesome historical cars built for going fast, faster, and fastest!
Have never been there
I am just sharing some of my favorites from tonight.
Absolutely amazing. Real, important historical hot rods made by the pioneers of hot rodding. VERY cool. You can see the Navarro roadster, Iskendarians roadster and more!
Great display of old cars.
Took me back tomorrow night is blacklist to back in the day
A must for hot rod enthusiasts.
If youre a fan of all things drag racing, this is your place. Tons of NHRA nostalgia.
Great variety of exhibits and well presented...
Very well done, a lot to look at and explained well.
Great place to visit
NHRA DRAGSTERS always fun!
Awesome
Great displays, bit smaller than expected.
Nice place!!!
Great Museum!
Finally got to go. For a Pomona boy, wow, memory lane
Very nice
For well over 50 years, the NHRA has championed the cause of safe and sane drag racing and the Wally Parks Museum is THE place where he and his high-risk history are housed
Small but cool
Honestly, the moment I stepped in, i was 6 years old again.
Amazing history in this museum. a must for any NHRA fan
