I just went through the Grand National Roadster Show, it's great! It's a lot like a Good Guys show crossed with SEMA

the '36 Auburn of James Hetfield, the Moonliner and Mooneyes Dragster, the triple nickel 555, Boyd's French Connection, Mr Norm's Demon (old and new) plus the 3 other new Mr Norms retro vehicles, Poteets Miller hauler Special, Hollywood Hot Rods Platinum Bomb and I think 2 other HHR cars, the 1910 Selden ( winner of the 1998 Great American Race, the 1920 Packard Indy car (winner of the 1991 Great American Race) a Reventlow Scarab, the Bartoletti Grand Prix race car transporter, the Glass Slipper, 3 Bean Bandit race cars, El Cid.. the dragster AC Cobra, the Atomic Punk bubble top Roth tribute, and others that I can't recall right now.
Lots of pinstripers, about a dozen, lots of artists with paintings and sculptures to sell, about 3 dozen... so bring money. Prices on the vendor stuff like beer, popcorn and kettle corn, soft serve etc is overpriced like a county fair, like that's not unexpected at anything we go to anymore. I'll happily leave a venue instead of wasting money a minute away from real prices.
