NHRA Wally Parks Museum Tour and Photos, Pomona CA
This exhibit changes all the time and it never fails to please and excite. It is especially good for fathers and sons.
These photos are from June of 2008 and are just a small sample of what you will see.
Even outside the museum there is some neat stuff.
Inside the Ala Kart by George Barris awaits you!
Hot Rods did not always mean chrome and big bucks.
A true hot rod classic.
Looks like fun to me.
When duals did not refer to rear tires!
I grew up watching stuff like this run on the dirt, I really miss it today.
How many of you built models of this when you were in Junior High?
George was not the only star in the family. Sam Barris bought this 49 Merc NEW and drove it until he figured out how to chop the top. This car started it all and is truly an icon today.
George built the Ala Kart and it is absolutely one of the best ever.
What would our hobby be without Hurst and the beautiful Miss Golden Shifter, Linda Vaughn?
