    The place was awesome. Classic racing engines, cars, tools, even some historic motorcycles, bicycles, and even period metal toys and historic metal lunch boxes. Helpful tour guides were informative and polite, and seemed genuinely interested in patrons enjoying the exhibits. Very clean restrooms. I only wish they had longer hours, or were open 10:00 - 3:00 on Saturday, but it's just 12:00 - 4:30 during the week and 9:00 - 1:00 on Saturdays. The 2-1/2 hours I was there on a Saturday was not enough!
