a.k.a. GNRS... In it's 59th year and (I believe) it's 4th year at Pomona this is perhaps the largest indoor show in the West. I have been shooting at the show the past 3 years aqnd will again have my Nikon DSLR ready to shoot the first day of the 3 day show tomorrow, January 25, 2008. Here are 8 galleries of shots from the past 3 years: 2005 - 2007 http://www.pbase.com/xl1ken/gnrs57 Should have photos from this year up over the weekend sometime. Ken Leonard Belmont Shore, SoCal

"a.k.a. GNRS..." I've never heard anyone call it that before....I've heard people call it "Grand Nats.", "Grand Nationals" and "The Roadster Show", but yeah I'll be there Saturday and Sunday.
What is in the building that held the 75th anniversary display last year? Another special exhibit, or more show cars?
goin sunday with my son, was nasty looking in the IE all day but it never rained, sun out on the mts now, snow REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL low...
How bad is the rain out there @GNRS? Anybody got photos yet? Who's going to Bob's Big Boy? Whatcha driving? I'm thinking of going around 6-7 cause I work in Studio City. OT__I gotta get a new Digital camera, the old Cannon finally gave out....any recomendations on a new one? Trout
i'm going bringing the fam with me im hopeing my wife will see all the cool cars and people and let me start spending a lil more money on my project ..................just my late MLK speach
Did you make a sign detailing everything you hate about your car? Or are you finally over that? LOL! Looks like you got a good spot.
Me, Greasejunkie, and Photofink for sure. It's gonna rain tomorrow; 50% with 100% in the evening, expecting 1-2 inches,...but hey, it's only water and most of the rides are inside. Only wicked-witches melt in the rain anyway. Greasejunkie's working on a top-insert for his coupe as I write this...thank God for junk Mazda sheetmetal!
Back from GNRS 2008 and as usual it was AWESOME! I do believe this year every signle major building was filled with cars. JUst a little very light drizzle a couple of times today. Since the GNRS cars are all inside there was no problem. However Saturday and Sunday there is also an outdoor show as well. The late rain on Saturday (predicted) may be a problem for the guys displaying outside but of course you will still be able to see all of the awesome indoor cars. BTW, I will have to disappoint you. I said I was going to shoot between 700-1000 shots. Only got a little over 600 . Hope to have the albums up later tonight. I also took all of the shots in RAW and will share some of my better shots processed from the superior RAW files in a few days one at a time. Ken
Will be there and cant wait to see EVEL do "sweet child of mine" but more importantly his coupe!! I know it is going to be crazy!
