World of Speed Museum

At World of Speed Museum, we are dedicated to education and entertainment through the celebration and preservation of motorsports!

Located in Wilsonville, Oregon, The World of Speed is an educational museum featuring historic racecars, boats and motorcycles that tell the story of motorsports culture. Through interactive exhibits and hands on activities, the World of Speed offers visitors a behind the scenes view of the racing world. It encompasses many aspects of motorsports, including drag racing, road racing, land speed racing, motorcycle racing, open wheel, NASCAR and hydroplanes.

Much of the museum's focus and content comes from its origins in the Pacific Northwest, including the history of local tracks, like the Woodburn Drag Strip, Jantzen Beach and Portland International Raceway, and local racing luminaries like legendary Indy race car builder Rolla Vollstedt.

The museum is funded by income from sponsorships, foundations, admissions, corporate and individual memberships, and from events held at the museum. World of Speed is a 501(c)(3) public charity.
