A new motorsports museum is opening in a few weeks at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The museum honors motorsports heroes from all forms of motorsports including air racing. Air racing honorees include Roscoe Turner, Jimmy Doolittle, Lyle Shelton, Steve Wittman, Tony LeVier, Cook Cleland and others. A variety of racing vehicles are on display at the museum. Air racing is represented by Formula V raceplane #77 “Blueberry” which participated in 30 FV air races throughout the eastern and central USA from 1978 through 1999. “Blueberry” holds the distinction of having competed in more FV air racing events than any other FV raceplane, including two races at Daytona Beach FL in 1989 and 1990. The new museum expects to attract over 100,000 visitors each year.
