CANEPA MOTORSPORTS MUSEUM OPENS
Canepa Design announced today the opening of the new Canepa Motorsports Museum located in Scotts Valley California just 20 min. from San Jose. The museum is open Monday to Friday, 9:00AM to 5:00PM and Saturday 9:30AM to 3:00PM. Special guided tours are available upon request.
The Museum is dedicated to the spirit of automotive competition and the celebration of engineering excellence. A broad spectrum of racing cars and motorcycles from the golden age of the sport to modern times are on display. Each vehicle in the collection has been hand chosen by Bruce Canepa for it’s unique contribution to the history of the sport. The museum is not focused on one form of racing but showcases examples from multiple disciplines, everything from Formula One to NASCAR and dirt track Sprint Cars to Le Mans 24 hour winners are on display. The sports hero’s are also well represented with Championship cars driven by David Pearson, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace, Don Branson, Freddie Agabashian, Jacky Ickx, Mark Donohue, Don Prudhomme, and Scott Parker. An accomplished racer in his own right, Bruce Canepa has had the forethought to preserve and collect some of his own racecars from the past. These include the 1981 Pikes Peak hill climb car that carried him to 2nd overall and the last Porsche 935 produced by the Porsche factory, which he raced in the IMSA championship in the early 1980’s.
The museum is located at 4900 Scotts Valley Drive, Scotts Valley, CA. To learn more about the museum and Canepa Design please visit the company web site at http://www.canepa.com/
