Title: Thunder Dome
Post by: 482supersnake on July 29, 2019, 06:16:48 PM: https://www.thunderdomecarmuseum.org/

New car museum just opened up here in Washington state. Lots of FE powered cars and all proceeds go to charity. Went there wife the family the other day and was surprised by the quality of some of the cars.

Any idea how far that is from Pacific Raceway? (SIR). I will be going to the NHRA National event on Friday, so if that museum is not too far away, I may stop in there, as well.

Depending on which way you go it's between 15-30 miles. From SIR there are a bunch of different routes to get to that Museum. It's about 20 minutes average drive I would guess.
