Wally Parks’ vision lives on at Twilight Cruise Night
The Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum’s Twilight Cruise on Wednesday night wasn’t just a car show, it was a living tribute to the man who saw what hot rodding could become before anyone else did.
Wally Parks didn’t just build cars, break records, edit magazines, create sanctioning bodies, or establish museums. He created associations. He created culture. He cleared a path, removed the obstacles, and united us under one banner: The National Hot Rod Association.
And last night, he did it again.
On the first Wednesday of every month from 4 to 7 p.m., the Twilight Cruise celebrates the cars, people, and spirit that define Southern California car culture. This month’s gathering brought together every flavor of hot rodder — from teens to icons of the sport who built it from the ground up. NHRA may be the premier promoter of speed, competition, and larger-than-life personalities, but it’s the Association in our name that defines who we are. And last night, that Association was on full display.
John Force, Don Prudhomme, Ron Capps, and racers from every corner of SoCal came to Pomona to let the cars be the stars — just like Parks would’ve wanted. This wasn't about horsepower numbers or model years. It was about expression — machines as mirrors of the people who built and raced them. Hot rodding isn’t just a motorsport, it’s a mindset.
The Twilight Cruise not only funds the museum’s programs and preservation efforts, but it also reignites the spark that started it all: community. Thank you for being a part of it. Thank you for helping us carry this mission forward.
Special thanks to our partners — the Petersen, Hot Rod magazine, Lions Automobilia Foundation, Nitro Revival, SAE International, Famoso Dragstrip, and the many automotive creators and influencers who continue to support this shared vision.
While NHRA is busy this week with championship drag racing events from Epping to Bristol, the Twilight Cruise reminds us where it all began. On a perfect Southern California afternoon, surrounded by the cars and the culture that sparked a global movement, we honored the man who started it all. Wally would’ve loved it.
We can’t wait to do it again on Wednesday, July 2, 2025.
