This has got to be the largest motorcycle museum of all time. Pristine: not a speck of dust or fingerprints anywhere. Outside the entrance to the museum is a stainless steel sculpture titled, "The Chase," which depicts human strength and speed achievement.
[Vicki Stevison, 03/16/2015]You cannot go to see the ants unless you are attending a scheduled race. The road is only open to the museum -- and the ants are at the actual track (about a mile behind the museum -- with locked gates and guards). There was no way I could talk the guard into letting us take a quick picture -- no entry unless you want to fight the crowds at a race. Bummer! (He did say that the ants were still there, tho!)
[anonymous, 04/22/2009]Gigantic ant sculptures located in various spots around the Barbers Motorsports Park race track. Some of the ants are holding motorcycles in their mandibles. Pretty funny! This place also has the largest motorcycle museum in the world.
