A portion of White Avenue in Pomona near Fairplex was closed in 2004 for filming of a scene in “Herbie: Fully Loaded” with Lindsay Lohan. Now ol’ Number 53 itself, the car used in the movie, is on display at the NHRA Motorsports Museum at Fairplex.

Go on Wednesday during the monthly cruise night from 3 to 8 p.m. and admission is free. If you haven’t been to the museum, this would be a good time to go.

I highly recommend the place and I’m not even a gearhead. I like seeing all the vintage hot rods, helmets, photos, magazines and other memorabilia, all displayed in a hushed, reverent setting, like precious artifacts. The NHRA got its start in Pomona and it’s a coup for the city to have the museum.

The museum is at Fairplex Gate 1, 1101 W. McKinley Ave., a bit west of White. The phone number is (909) 622-2133 and the website is www.museum.nhra.com. Vrooom!
