About

The Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum presented by Automobile Club of Southern California is an independent California non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to celebrating the impact of motorsports on American culture.

Story

Housed in a 28,500-square-foot building on the edge of the historic Los Angeles County Fairplex, the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum celebrates the impact of motorsports on our culture. We collect, preserve, exhibit and interpret the vehicles, stories, and artifacts that represent our affection for, and the influence of, automotive speed and style in all its forms.

We are the place to view and learn about hot rods, customs, racecars and speed records, and the West Coast's role as the historic center for their past and present development.

The Museum features an impressive array of vintage and historical racing vehicles along with photographs, trophies, helmets and driving uniforms, artifacts, paintings, and other memorabilia chronicling more than 60 years of American motorsports.

Mission

We are the place to view and learn about hot rods, customs, racecars and speed records, and the West Coast's role as the historic center for their past and present development.

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. 👍

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.

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!

Finally after years of promising myself to go to the NHRA (Wally Parks) museum. I made it and it did not disappoint. There's such rich history there, from John Force's 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.
