EMMR is located atop the hill at the historic Latimore Valley
Fairgrounds...

As you begin to enter EMMR, it quickly becomes obvious this visit
will be something special!
Your trip back
into history begins.
 

|
You will quickly notice that EMMR is dedicated to preserving
all forms of motor racing.

Midgets from every era and type are grouped together, demonstrating
how they evolved over time.

The actual contents (tools, work benches and all)
from Tommy Hinnershitz's garage were used to create this display
honoring his racing career.
 |
You'll find some very unique items on display, such as these
hand-crafted scale models of Patterson, New Jersey's famed
Gasoline Alley and Pennsylvania's legendary Williams Grove
Speedway. |


|
As you walk down this aisle, you'll see first hand how the
early "Big Cars" progressed into today's fire-breathing
Sprint Cars.

This crumpled tail section is one of the only
known remaining pieces from Ted Horn's car after losing his life in
a racing accident at the DuQuoin, IL State Fairgrounds in 1948.
Besides being one of racing's all time greatest drivers, Horn was
one of Indy's most consistent drivers ever. Between 1936 & 1948,
Ted never finished worse than 4th in the Indy 500... a feat that has
never since been duplicated!

Several unfinished Hiram Hillegass race cars sit next to his
original parts cabinets, tools & blueprints.

From the earliest model Fords, to the Offy's, to the modern day
purpose-built racing engine, see how the science and technology of
engine building has changed over the years.

Some of the most dramatic changes conceived in the pursuit of speed
can be seen in the types of cars that raced throughout the
illustrious history of the Indianapolis 500.

The history of Drag Racing is also featured at EMMR.

The 2nd floor features
the stock cars, from the early roadsters & coupes,
to the modern NASCAR race cars and trucks.

No matter what era of racing you enjoyed, from the old flat
heads, to the solar-powered racers of the future, you're
sure to find lots to enjoy and learn at EMMR.
