Thunder Dome

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.

Interesting, first I have heard of this museum. Where exactly is Emunclaw? I have heard of the town, but never been there. I have been to the Lemay/ACM museum in Tacoma WA, and the Museum of Speed in Wilsonville OR, both  were very good.

Enumclaw is East of Auburn, SE of the Kent/Covington/Maple Valley area. Past Bonnie Lake on Hwy 410.

Last time I was through Enumclaw I was about four years (or so old). First lived in Renton (Metro Seattle) during the war, and then moved to Cashmere. Came back to Detroit in time to start the 6th grade.

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.
