What happens here
The tour moves to the main museum floor, where various race cars are displayed. The guide explains that the current exhibit, 'Our Collection, Your Favorites,' was curated based on fan voting. He points out the 1964 Lotus, which won by a large margin. Other cars mentioned include Mario Andretti's 1972 Viceroy Special VPJ-1. The guide also discusses the importance of allowing visitors close proximity to the cars to appreciate their details, unlike some museums that keep everything on pedestals. This section then highlights a 1980 Penske PC-7 Cosworth DFX with an Ed Pink engine, a model known for its turbocharging and engineering by Ed Pink. An anecdote about Tim Richmond riding on Johnny Rutherford's winning car after running out of fuel is shared.
Goal: Explore the museum's fan-voted exhibit and learn about the Ed Pink-engineered 1980 Penske PC-7 Cosworth DFX.
