Grains of Salt
The best part of living in Southern California? Hot rod shows and meets all year long, and the best ones hands down. Hence, annual Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona. Car clubs and vendors congregate from all over the nation to breathe life into the Fairplex every year. As if there wasn't enough space to fill with the locals, the show continues to grow and the cars keep evolving. I knew this was a gonna be a journey for me so I tried to enjoy each individual hall at a time. Each hall showcases a different style of modification classes ranging from the shiny, candy-colored hot rods to the stripped-down, rust buckets called rat rods. Whether for putting on a show of superior detail or solely for the purpose of breaking land speed records, there's a car style for everyone.
Right after the ticket turnstiles, I was greeted with a "gasser-grin" in the comfort of her shady umbrella - the Radiator Lady was her name. It was just the beginning and I was already emptying ammo on the first two cars. It's time to chill, I've only passed by two cars and haven't even been inside one of the halls yet. Lucky for me, my first hall was one I was looking forward to the most - Land Speed Racing. Many of the participants I had met over at last year's final run at El Mirage in November so there were a few familiar faces.
