The Grand National Roadster Show is the grand daddy of all indoor hot rod shows as it carries the weight of awarding the title of America’s Most Beautiful Roadster on one entrant.

Truth be told, we’re the type of guys who find themselves attracted to stuff built by the gnarled hands of mere mortals in their home shops.

We read Dave’s piece on the show at his HotRodNostalgia.com site and wanted to share it with you as it brings a perspective and attitude only he can bring as a guy who has spent his life fully ensconced in the culture of drag racing and hot rodding.

Dave has never, ever, shied away from sharing his opinions and he doesn’t mince any words here. In short, Wallace had written the show off, and aside from a visit 10 years ago, he hadn’t been back since. You may be surprised to hear his take on this year’s show. Make sure to check out the photo gallery as well.

Hit the link, and once you’re done reading, cruise the rest of his site. There are scads of awesome hot rodding, drag racing, and nostalgia items for sale. You may want to lock your wallet in the safe.
