WAAAM West is a car enthusiast’s destination. It houses a select collection of Premium, Exotic, Classic, and Antique vehicles which are on display. The facility is a family friendly attraction for both young and old.

The main building on the property, which is currently being renovated, is the new location for “WAAAM West – Cars by Ron Wade” is a family oriented destination for local and national car enthusiasts. |
This collection includes 3 cars that did the incredible feat of winning the 24 hours of Lemans.
In 99 a viper won & all 4 drivers signed our 99 vipers valve covers
The Saleen S7 won at every major race track in the world except the 24 hours of lemans. A privateer used a Saleen S7 to put the frosting on the cake by winning the 24 hours of Lemans
No American car had ever won the 24 hours of Lemans until Henry Ford the 11th was rebuffed by Enzo Ferrari when he tried to purchase Ferrari. Ferrari had won the 24 hours of Lemans several years in a row so Mr. Ford decide to kick Ferraris butt. He did it dramatically by placing 1,2, and 3 in 1966. For the 50th anniversary of that win they surprised the world by introducing a new Ford GT to beat Ferrari and they did it again.
I was was at the 24hours of Lemans in 2016 to witness the win.
