NHRA Museum

NHRA Museum
BestofStreetFire loves to entertain you but also to educate you.

Used to be that sex was safe and racing was dangerous, as opposed to today when drivers walk away from the most horrific crashes and you shouldn't believe anyone when they say, "oh, you don't need to wear one of those!"

But at the NHRA Museum in Pomona, CA you can see just how big those racers' balls needed to be when they got behind the wheel of the early race cars and hot rods.

Roll cage...what's that? Safety harness...er, not sure what you're talking about. These are the guys who jumped all over the Ford Model T and transformed it from a car for the masses into a hot rod for the races.

See just how far the hot rods and dragsters have come since those early days by talking a tour of the NHRA Museum.
