A Gift of Bugatti
We're all missing Dr. Simeone this Christmas Eve. Looking back just three years ago to the time he begrudgingly let us film this unboxing video for a generous gift the museum received. He never took himself too seriously and was always open to just having fun with our staff. โค๏ธ
We didn't get the chance to catch them all as they were heading out but we did get a few...
We want to thank all the owners, visitors, and Atco Raceway fans that took part in our exhibition celebrating the incredible history of Atco Raceway!

Ferrari 375 versus Ford GT MKIV. Which car are you taking in this matchup?
The MK IVs are powered by the 427 Ford V8 which produced 550 hp and could propel the 2,250 lb. car to almost 230 mph on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans.
Two things to remember about the Simeone Museum.
#1 - We don't have any RR's as part of the collection.
#2 - Well behaved doggos are always welcome to visit.
And they called him "der Regenmeister".
