One of my favorite buildings yearly is the Suede Palace at the Grand National Roadster Show. Traditional hot rods and customs are some of my favorite things in this car culture I love.

Now there aren’t just cool bright colors at the Mexican village there are cool colors on all the customs and hot rods at the show for the Grand National Roadster Show.

Well, it didn’t rain. Saturday was the Grand Cruise-In at the Grand National Roadster Show and for whatever reason the rain gods decided to let there not be rain.

The buildings at this year’s Grand National Roadster Show were filled with so many cool cars and trucks.

My Grand National Roadster Show almost ever year starts off at the NHRA Museum for the GNRS press conference.

At this year’s Grand National Roadster Show there were some wonderful contenders for this year’s Slonaker Award but there can only be one winner. That would be a 1959 Chevrolet Impala Hardtop named “Bespoke”.

Sunday night while the rain fell outside, inside the main building at the Pomona Fairplex they crowned America’s Most Beautiful Roadster. This year’s winner is Beth Meyer’s fantastic 1932 Ford Phaeton built by Roy Brizio Street Rods. This was my pick too.

Saturday was the 3rd Annual Mooneyes New Year’s Party and it was a blast.

Last Saturday I headed over to San Manuel Stadium in San Bernadino, CA for Huffarama. Put on by the Dead Sleds Club to honor Bo Huff the fantastic car customizer from Utah who was also part of the club.

So much fun at this year’s RPM Nationals. Enjoy the last few racing pics from the show.

Now of course we all came out to see cars speed down the runway but we also came to hangout with friends and make new ones. This wonderful hobby that I love wouldn’t exist if not for all the wonderful people that are apart of it.

Of course, there is racing at the RPM Nationals but there is so much more going on. There is the car corral filled with cool hot rods and customs and a wonderful swap meet.
