Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum

Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum, Automotive museum in Pomona, United States

The Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum occupies a 28,500-square-foot building constructed by the WPA in the Fairplex, on the site of the parking lot where the first NHRA-sanctioned drag race was held. Its collection includes one of A. J. Foyt's Coyote Indy Cars, Kenny Bernstein's first dragster to exceed 300 mph, and the Bob McClung helmet and photo collection.

The museum was established in 1998 and operates from a building constructed in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration. The collection documents how drag racing emerged and evolved from its early days to the present.

The museum's name honours NHRA founder Wally Parks, for whom it was renamed on his ninetieth birthday. Its two annual hot rod reunions, the Holley NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and the NHRA California Hot Rod Reunion at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, carry the hot-rodding tradition beyond the exhibits.

The museum is located in an accessible building with parking nearby and offers guided tours for visitors who want a deeper experience. It helps to check ahead if tours are available, especially when visiting in a larger group.

The facility is more than just a display space; it serves as an active gathering place where motorsport enthusiasts and participants meet and celebrate together. This makes it a living part of the racing world rather than simply a repository of the past.
