Well, NASCAR Hall of Fame. So fun. It was a very interactive museum. My first Hall of Fame experience, in any subject matter. They had tons of activities for all ages. Some of the highlights were stepping on various grades of track, feeling different track surfaces, seeing many famous movie cars, the actual Hall of Fame inductees and learning their respective histories, an interactive pit stop area where kids of all ages could hold a gas can, change a tire, the works, and the crème de la crème - a simulator. I loved walking through the areas and reading all of the history. Even a non NASCAR person would find it somewhat interesting. For instance, the modern day net covering the drivers window was developed by Richard Petty's mother. After a brutal accident that had "the King' in his early days hanging half out of his window, she had a brilliant idea, and went to weaving and sewing the net.

The "Piston Cup"... you pissed in what?
The cars were all being displayed on a track that wrapped around the room, occasionally there was an opportunity to climb up on the track to test the degree grade
