Just one of the features of living the hot rod life in Southern California, aside from the awesome weather, is the variety and hot rodding ideas reflected in the hundreds of local car shows and cruise nights every year.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n The Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum has kicked off the Prolong Super Lubricants-sponsored Twilight Cruise Nights for 2015. The event is held on the first Wednesday of the month each year from April through December and particularly, at the first Cruise of the year, brings out some new hot rods and garage-bound iron, guys and girls who want to show off their relics.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Iconic announcer Dave McClelland is back for Cruise Nights and, at the end of the evening, awards recognition that no hot rodder can resist. With judging from guest judges, the big prize for Cruise participants is being selected to be part of the Hot Rod Parade at the Auto Club NHRA World Finals in the fall at nearby Pomona Raceway in front of nearly 40,000 spectators.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The Cruise is free to both spectator and hot rodder, but while you are there wander into the Museum to see some of the history of the dry lakes and drag strips from the early years. The evolution of racing and hot rodding is now shown in new, large-scale dioramas and early racecars with lots of funny cars, super stockers, rails and racing memorabilia. It is a great museum.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The Prolong Twilight Cruise Night is held from 3 \u2013 7 PM on the first Wednesday of the month and cruise night is worth leaving work early to enjoy some 250 awesome hot rods on display, no trailers please. Museum admission is $5 after 5 PM and free to Museum members.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum is located at the Fairplex in Pomona, 1101 W. McKinley Ave., Bldg. 3A, Pomona, Calif. 91768. For more information call (909) 622-2133 or visit nhramuseum.org<\/a><\/p>\n
