Storm; a special "Green Machines" display of advanced technology /
alternative fuel vehicles; mad scientist Jack Schroll's "El Diablo", a
spectacularly menacing jet-powered flame effects device designed for
Burning Man Festival; the Blastolene Brothers extreme, mega-modified
machines; ace aerobatics pilot Eddie Andreini doing fly-overs in his
Stearman bi-plane and Russian fighter; Wild Bill's amphibious "watercar";

a Jetson's inspired space-age car that actually flies; and "World Record
Wonderland" featuring several current world land speed record holders
including the lightning fast, super sleek "Ack Attack" and "BuddFab"
motorcycle streamliners, plus the world's coolest cars representing
every style and era.

rare up-close look at antique horseless carriages and Ford Model T's,
fanciful touring and luxury cars, powerful sports cars, custom cars and

ultralight aircraft. See a spectacular display of meticulously restored
military marvels including "Heavenly Body", a historic B-25 Bomber from

fighter) including a highly modified P-51 "Strega", 8-time class

factory. On the larger side are several pieces from Roots of Motive
Power's collection of restored logging equipment, like spool donkeys and
Buffalo Springfield steamrollers.
