The following items are currently owned by Marty Pringle and will be on permanent loan to the museum. Over the years, many drivers and families have donated items for Marty’s personal collection which he has had on display for the public for many years. As the collection has grown larger and larger he and family and friends have decided that it is necessary to make plans for the future and have a facility available to house these one of a kind pieces of racing history in a permanent location. We try to get items autographed whenever possible and the majority of these items listed have been signed. A few of the cars are in their original condition, but most have been restored by Marty with the help of family and friends.
