For those who know the strange and fast sport of Drag racing, you may want to visit Big Daddy's museum of drag racing.
There are three halls of race cars in the museum, and a small shop outside where t-shirts, caps, race car models and other paraphernalia are on sale.
The museum nicely collects cars from most of the history of racing, focussing on the traditional dragsters, and not so much of the 'doorslammers' and funny cars.
You will be able to follow the history of Don Prudhomme - Big Daddy - through his racing career, most of his cars, all his awards and prizes, along with curious from his tool box and scrap books.
A section is reserved for Shirley Muldowney, one of the most successful female racers, who used to outrun most of the male racers for decades.
