wheres red park? is that still open?

red park is closed as IG said. The other Skyline Museum, the Prince and Skyline musuem in Nagano, is still open. How you get there depends on which direction you're coming from. From the Tokyo area, take the Chuo expressway north, through Yamanashi as far as the Okaya Junction. Branch off, heading north towards Nigata and get off the expressway at the Okaya Interchange. The museum is a short (5 mins) drive from the exit. (on leaving the toll booths, take the first left. Next set of lights, turn right, drive up the hill, and it's on the left IIRC)

Their website is here

The "museum circuit" around Mt Fuji is worth a go - Kawaguchiko motor museum (general japanese cars going waaaaaaay back up to the present), Takamura Museum (a lot of american, boo, upstairs some rollers, ferraris etc), Gallery Arbath (Italian goodies, ferraris, alfas, lancias), Racing Palace (All racing cars including prince and nissan skylines through the years, f1 cars, jgtc cars, rally cars, all sorts of stuff really, well worth a vist), Gotemba sports car garden (predominantly ferraris). You do need to hire a car (quite cheap through tocco) and it's a nice spot to visit with great roads and some fun and games at night. In tokyo the toyota historic garage/museum is good and central to other stuff you'll likely be visiting in daiba. Honda have a good museum up at twin ring but that can be a bit of a pita to visit, you can "hire" a teg type r for a few laps though. Don't forget the nissan galleries in ginza as well, often they have some interesting exhibitions (sometimes they're pretty dull as well )
