A Museum worth a visit

Speedway Motors is internationally known. I had never heard of them. They operate out of a huge warehouse facility in Lincoln, Nebraska and provide parts and equipment for every racing or street enthusist. They have been in operation for a long time.

But little-known is the museum that the Smiths have developed regarding transportation and racing. Here you will find a vast collection of automobiles and racing memorabilia as well as the motors that made history. Many are displayed in period correct surroundings. Everything from soapbox derby to the Bonneville Flatts and Indy cars.  Upstairs there are enough pedal cars, both original and restored, to fill an Olympic size pool, toy cars, lunch boxes and Buck Rogers memorabilia just add to the fun.



Here is the website. If you are ever in Lincoln, Nebraska and love automotive history you should stop by on one of their open days and go for a tour.
