If you like drag racing story's of days gone by and have a spare hour this is worth the watch.

On our way home from Florida last week, we passed by Don's museum place.....don't recall where it was. Just some average looking buildings as seen from the back side. But a lot of drag racing history there I'm sure.

On our way home........had to get to Pensacola to see the great grand kids........so could not stop.   Would have been fun to look a bit.
