To an average Joe, this just look like old stuff lying around. But to those who are enthusiast of not only auto racing but to mechanical engineering designs, this is what legends are truly made of! It needs to be respected, it needs to be told, and preserved for the future of generations to come!
I have some photos of his prototype soft wall, before the SAFER barrier. It was featured in Stock Car Racing magazine I believe. After they tore town his shop, I snapped a few pics of it before they cleared everything else. It used tires, cable, plywood, etc.
I know Greg really good guy, The Speedway company has done a fantastic job with that museum and he took me through it a few years ago and it is AWESOME. We hold our IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Series Nationals right down O street at Eagle Raceway about 15 minuets away
Thank you Stapleton 42. I second that emotion. It’s especially cool for old dudes like myself that was around to witness some of these historic moments. 🏁🏁🏆🇺🇸.
This is SO awesome!!! I remember an interview with Bobby Unser when he had a special car built to set the new record for Pike's Peak. Bobby stated that he insisted that Smokey Yunick build the engine, and that is the very same Ford engine in this video. You can really sense the love and passion these gentlemen have for everything in the museum. I can't even put into words how much I respect them for that!!! THANK YOU GUYS!!!
Awesome once again you both!!!!! Garlits has a big museum and I thought he knew Smokey or his family. There was a video a few years ago about Don telling stories. He may still do the tours? His is more dynamic, he would start some of the old flatheads and stuff up too. I live in SE Michigan, Connie Kalitta has some cars in his private collection (from a supplier that’s a friend). The Henry Ford museum had some race stuff like Awesome Bills record speed car, GT40, Indy car,,, Thank you for the content!
I am embarrassed to say I have been through Lincoln,NE several times and did not know of this museum. Favorites from this video is black thunderbird that drove to salt flats to race. Original drive and drag car. Original Chevy 265 V8. Lets not forget that Speedway Motors is great to order parts from and I have done just that for many years. As usual I am impressed with your ability take us on these automotive adventures. Thanks Mitchell and Logan.
The Lincoln Highway runs right through my home state of Iowa. Also, I'm about 5 hrs away from this museum and never knew it existed. Thank you, Mitchel and Logan.
its strange to say i was almost tears but happy tears? the sheer excitement and passion these gentlemen have for automotive history and technology is beyond contagious. thank you for taking the time for making these videos and sharing the knowledge that is becoming harder to find even with the internet some things just aren't written down and are only shared verbally to those with like minded passion. Once again thank you.
@1:04:00 My dad worked for a Chevy dealer from 46-69 and I remember a 1965 Caprice with a 396 and TH400 on the showroom floor on "Show Day" on September 1964. That was the first time to see the Caprice, the 396 and TH400. Before that, the 2 speed Power Glide was the only automatic transmission offered by Chevrolet in the early 60s.
those old display engines of the Cheverolet 396 @1:04:18 and 265 @1:06:46 are so interesting to me. So much to see, thanks for taking me along for the ride.
You guys really have created yourselves a racing rabbit hole here intentionally or not. But it is so fascinating hearing from those involved in the development over time.
I'm a big racing fan and a demolition derby guy. Without the early innovations in racing nascar, Indy, sprint cars, demolition derby and every other form of racing would not be as big as they are now. In demolition derby we have so many after market quality parts because of innovation. One of my favorite parts just as an example is a sliding drive shaft. If it wasn't for the pioneers of engine building in racing those drive shafts would not exist. Thank you too keeping the history of motorsports going. It's not just racing history it's world history.
Thanks so much for showing this. I live in Omaha Nebraska and even most people here don't realize this jewel of racing history is not in our backyard. You both are doing great things with all your racing history videos.
Why have I never heard of this magnificent place?! Finally a reason to visit Nebraska! Heck, I’d have to move there for a month just to check this museum out. The ingenuity and variety of mechanical art is beyond comprehension.
This is awesome. If it wasn’t for you half of us wouldn’t know of this place or the history you bring to us. Thanks. … wish I was closer I would help you do the bodywork and paint your nascar. Lol. Those displays are so cool to me. I work at the gm tech center and to know those were built here at the design studio where I work is so cool to me !
Thank you for taking us along on a very special place that I will never get to see in my life. I was aware of many of the engines and the experiments and the evolution that you saw, but never saw them before. Such a wonderful experience.😊
I live about 5 miles from the museum. Toured it for the 2nd time this fall and was amazed at the growth. Will be going again next year to see the new addition. A must see!
You two knocked it out the park with this one. I’d heard of their museum, but didn’t really give it much thought,,, til now. Adding this to the ever growing bucket list,,, lol. One of my favorite places is Holman Moody shop, but haven’t been there in a while, and the Garlits museum. 👍
I love how the cam shafts and motors were all done by hand. I am a granite fabricator and can fabricate by hand. All the edges, today we have CNC machines that cut ( water jet ), shape and polish. I learned how to do it all by hand with routers and grinders. I can appreciate these guys grinding and sanding these parts. It would be fun to try something like that.
I love the enthusiasm of these gentlemen! They're excited like kids to tell you everything, got to love that passion! And hey, I'm an old coot, but I didn't know that the Miller engines had block and head as one piece. There's always something to learn, and one should never stop learning. What one doesn't know just depends on where the person comes from, no-one knows everything. Being curious to learn is what's most important. :) Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden
This is amazing! What a collection! If you don't see it there, it doesn't need to be seen! :). One of the best videos ever! My wife and I are going to plan a trip there to see it! That red Rich Vogler midget is legendary! He was one of my favorite drivers. He was supposed to drive that midget at Winchester Speedway but was killed in a sprint car in Salem the week before. Also, I'm pretty sure those #14 Indy garage doors were from AJ's 1977 Indy 500, which was his last 500 victory.
This was awesome video Thank you for making it. ! You two just keep getting better and better. I grew up watching them be at every race The red and white 21 car was so cool looking and still is Thank you both again Well done 🏁
The part I already have watched reminded me of what ive seen of the the Don garlitz museum, so many crazy engine setups from long before computer aided design systems, cant wait till dinner is finished so I can watch the rest!
This is one of those museums that you have to go there every day for a week at least to really appreciate it. Wow super nice find guys. Thanks for the video. 😊
Outstanding Tour ! Along with your Tour guides and the sneak peak behide some doors , crazy cool . I met Speedy Bill in 2010 at the Vintage Dirt Car event at the Belleville Kansas High Banks. That year was the 100 year mark for that track and they also have a Museum full of history. The Wison V-4 midget race engine that we stopped to look at was made by Jerry Wilson from Wichita KS. His dad Chet Wilson was said to be the First to put a small Block Chevy in a sprint car called the Offy Killer. Keep up the Great work and a Big Thank You for all the Camera/Edit time you put in.
Growing up in Indy, I’ve loved the history of the Miller and Offenhauser power plants. Dad was a tech inspector from ‘60-‘64 and always took us kids out for 500 qualifying. Dad and I also were sprint car fans and would go to the Indiana State Fairgrounds for the Hoosier Hundred. I miss those times with him, and loved that he shared his passion with me. That’s for sharing! (I’m a Pennzoil guy too!)
Another fine video, I'd love to see more Smokey Yunick history. One of the first engine building books I ever read was by Smokey Yunick I think around 1984-85 called "Power Secrets" I was building a 68 Chevelle I bought for $1100 and the knowledge from reading his books as well as others helped me greatly. Keep up the fine work, Can't tell y'all how much I love watching your videos.
you have truly picked up on the stories that are part and parcel of these old cars and parts. I'm very glad to hear that- those stories are sometimes harder to find and even harder to keep alive. You are doing awesome pretty well- don't take less !
"INSANE" was actually an understatement. I bet your head was about to exploded by the end of that tour? SO much information to digest. Wow.....just wow....... Great video and thanks to your "tour guides"!!! And yes.....MORE Smokey Yunick!!!
I had heard about this museum and it has been on my bucket list for some time. I had always heard it was just racing engines, so being an engine guy it sparked my interest. This video however shows that it is WAY WAY more than just engines. I have to admit that I watched the whole video with my mouth dropped open. A visit here has just moved up the bucket list. Thanks for doing it.
When I watch a video I usually hate the commercials but I welcomed them on this one so I could catch my breath. You knocked another one out of the park.
I just recently found your channel and subscribed. I was a NASCAR fan in the late 80s through the 90s so I am loving all of your history videos and hometown tour videos. I am from Taylorsville, hometown of Harry Gant. Could you possibly do a hometown tour with him sometime? I saw him at Walmart here last summer.😁
@@Stapleton42 That’s too bad! He was great to talk to about the old days when I saw him last summer. There is also an old abandoned dirt track in ruins, Taylorsville Speedway. If you would ever want to check that out let me know. I think I could get access to it.
Got to go see this place now!!! And take both my son's.....so they get inspired by seeing the birth of Motorsports. Thanks you and Logan have outdone yourselves again!!! Definitely have to find more about Smokey Yunick.... he's just one of the many older builder's/racer's that Inspired me as a young hot rodder.
I spent well over 3 hours in there, and couldn't digest the half of it. Awesome facility! I was Googling the Purolator Mercury a few years ago, and a link to this place came up. I made the 1300 mile trek from Carolina just to "touch" the famous 21, and damn, so much auto racing history to see. Well worth the trip.
This was the Best hour and twenty minutes I spent this month watching this video!!! Awesome Fricken Video. New box on the Bucket List Now. You guys are responsible for a boost in Tourism in Lincoln with this video. Cheers
Absolutely phenomenal video. Looking at the right side door from the Pennzoil car, the body line going through it is a clear indicator that it is a 1995-99 Monte Carlo. The #92 cars at the museum are 2000 and newer. Keep up the great work. These videos are incredible.
My God I can’t thank you enough,I could go broke just spending too much time watching these videos so informative so entertaining. I am so glad I found you. You are doing Such a great job. Please keep it up. Those of us out here that really thoroughly enjoy learning and seeing history That we didn’t get to personally experience😊
Wow! This place is worthy of a pilgrimage. I live in NC so I've seen Hendrix, Petty and a couple other places but dang this place is huge. Love the content. Thanks for sharing 👍
You’ve probably heard of Speedway Motors…but did you know they had a MASSIVE museum?
Yep. Live 2 miles from it. Incredible.
Yes I did, I just had never had a chance to go walk through it.
When will Honda get into Cup racing, I wonder why they aren't in it now?
I bought my trucks air intake system from them. Didn't know the museum existed. It's so cool, lot's of racing history.
It has been on My bucket list for a while now.
Those guys enthusiasm is contagious . It’s obvious they absolutely love the history of that place .
You couldn’t have said it better, I’m only about 5 minutes in and I wanna be 1/10th of how happy these gentleman are showing all these things off
You don't often see 4 adults excited as children. There were just so many awe inspiring artifacts!
To an average Joe, this just look like old stuff lying around. But to those who are enthusiast of not only auto racing but to mechanical engineering designs, this is what legends are truly made of!
It needs to be respected, it needs to be told, and preserved for the future of generations to come!
I would pay a fair amount to be able to tour the place with them.
That’s awesome to see too, they probably answer questions and explain stuff all day, but they still find stuff to show you that they love
Yes to more Smokey Yunick history. Lots of characters in Motorsports and there are a lot of colorful stories surrounding Smokey.
I have some photos of his prototype soft wall, before the SAFER barrier. It was featured in Stock Car Racing magazine I believe. After they tore town his shop, I snapped a few pics of it before they cleared everything else. It used tires, cable, plywood, etc.
Had no idea it was that large of a museum packed with that much innovation and early technology! Thanks for letting us get inside!
Now you can better understand why the United States was a world leading information and technology.
@@hotrod7938 , maybe not just the US, Arkus Duntov was Belgian , and he designed the Ardun heads in London.
Time spent with an expert is never wasted time, and you've got five experts here just geeking out, and it's glorious!
I visited the Chevrolet brothers gravesite in Indianapolis when I went there last June.
I know Greg really good guy, The Speedway company has done a fantastic job with that museum and he took me through it a few years ago and it is AWESOME. We hold our IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Series Nationals right down O street at Eagle Raceway about 15 minuets away
Awesome!
Love your content, and love the 80's and 90's Nascar stories. Keep up the awesome work!

Wonder what’s laying around lit there.
I paused to appreciate that Studebaker motor! Thanks man, someone needed to do this glad it's yall.
Our pleasure! Glad you value the effort and happy to know it means something to you
@Stapleton42 growing up next to race track it means everything.
@Stapleton42 I'll run with them boys one day god willing.
Thank you very much for getting the Speedway Motors plans yes you were looking at real race cars once you have to push start thank you for doing this
They keep adding space. If you're in Lincoln, a great place to visit.
thank you for all you do to preserve the history of motorsports great content.
Thanks for being here for it!!

The Tbird was a standout for me too. So fast, so early and not a trailer queen.
I live about 45 minutes from it and somehow I always put off going there. It's in the plans for this summer. Can't put it off any longer.
It’s absolutely worth it. Plan a whole day for it
Omaha?
@@johnholzhey8149 Lincoln
I was wondering about David Schoof.
@@johnholzhey8149 Nope, the other way.
Go easy on the drag and drive people , Mitchel knows how challenging it can be❤❤
hahaha
VERY COOL! Will have to go see in person. thank you for all you do to preserve the history of Motorsports. great content!!! 🥰
The Lincoln Highway runs right through my home state of Iowa. Also, I'm about 5 hrs away from this museum and never knew it existed. Thank you, Mitchel and Logan.
Unfortunately one needs to be west of the Missouri to find a speed limit on it over 55.

Once again thank you.
Haha I get the same way.....
Well said!
This is incredible. Too much history and awesomeness to comment on just one. Thank you for taking us in, both of your tour guides are perfect curators

Oh man…this is an amazing place
the museum is an absolute treat for gear heads... they also have toys and lunch boxes... a must see
wish I could give more than one thumbs up
those old display engines of the Cheverolet 396 @1:04:18 and 265 @1:06:46 are so interesting to me. So much to see, thanks for taking me along for the ride.

Welcome to Lincoln this place is totally awesome .
WOW is about all I can say...great content...an amazing museum!!
Wow. The flathead V8 intakes on the walls really got me. That is so incredible!
My heart skipped a beat when you walked past Isky's roadster.....OH, THAT museum in Nebraska.
Thank you for the video 👍

What a bloody cool museum. Thank you for creating another great video. We are lucky to have you filming.

Adding this to the ever growing bucket list,,, lol.
One of my favorite places is Holman Moody shop, but haven’t been there in a while, and the Garlits museum.
👍
I love how the cam shafts and motors were all done by hand.
I am a granite fabricator and can fabricate by hand. All the edges, today we have CNC machines that cut ( water jet ), shape and polish.
I learned how to do it all by hand with routers and grinders.
I can appreciate these guys grinding and sanding these parts.
It would be fun to try something like that.
That museum is insane, so much technology and history. Thanks for the tour.
I love the enthusiasm of these gentlemen! They're excited like kids to tell you everything, got to love that passion!

That Speed boy is fantastic. The love and energy he has for this history is infectious.
Lake Smith Jr reminds me of Ray Evernham, thanks for showing the sprintcars 👌
Pure coolness! Great video man! Will you be at North Wilkesboro?
No sir we got work to do in the shop plus going there is too expensive for us to just go have fun. I wish NASCAR would have given us passes
This is amazing. I wish my dad was still alive to see this. He would have loved to see that 30s garage diarama
This was awesome video
Thank you for making it. !
You two just keep getting better and better.
I grew up watching them be at every race
The red and white 21 car was so cool looking and still is

Good call I never noticed that body line difference. It looks to be 1999 based on the contingency decals
