The very best feature of this museum located in Ocala, Florida is there is room to park a tractor-trailer or a straight truck.  Once parked head into the drag racing museum and take your time.  The museum is spotless and does not smell of old cars. It is well lit and well maintained. 

Don has to be the king of pack rats as it is really amazing the amount of “stuff” he kept over the years and is documented.  He also kept every car he drove and they are all on display.  He also has the cars of many of the people he raced against on display.  

Everything is displayed to perfection with signs talking about the vehicle or event.  One of my favorite displays is when “The Bomb” a front-engine car broke in half at the starting line.  The display includes the car, most of everything involved in the accident as well as great pictures.  That wreck changed the future of drag racing forever. 

The museum is located next to Interstate 75 at 13700 S.W. 16th Avenue Ocala, Fl.
