Getting My Grand National On

The Grand National Roadster show rolled out to the Pomona Fairplex this past weekend. This show migrated down from Oakland 6 years ago and is the longest running indoor car show on our globe. I look forward to this thing every year and this year was a biggie! GNR turned 60 and brought the heat with some amazing rides. Get your scroll wheel on and soak up some of the sights......
