2017 Grand National Roadster Show Pt 6 Brought To You By Speedway Motors
Welcome to the final day of my coverage of the 2017 Grand National Roadster show. Hopefully by now you’ve seen the captions that I added this time, adding in the names of the owners and the make/model of the cars if I can grab the info at the show. Let me know how you like this or dislike it, it’s a ton of extra work but if you dig it I’ll keep doing it. Also for those that subscribe to the site, how do you like getting the entire post in your email inbox?
In this coverage post I cover a few things, some more of the outdoor cars, building 9 featuring Tri-Fives, a display of some seriously awesome woodies, a rad blown drag VW, a couple of kustoms, hot rods, and the amazingly righteous unveiling of the Beast IV at the NHRA Museum. Congrats to Webb Automotive Art, and everyone involved on an insanely cool build. It was motivating to be in a room with so many of the people that inspire me on a regular basis.
I hope that you’ve enjoyed the coverage of the Grand National Roadster Show. If you like it, please share these posts with your car friends and make sure to thank Speedway Motors for making this coverage possible.

48 Cars In 48 States : The Great American Road Trip – A 48 state road trip with a stop in each state to photograph a traditionally styled hot rod, kustom or drag vehicle. Daily updates will be posted here on royboyproductions.com so you can see where I’ve gone, who I’ve met, some of what I’ve seen. At the end of the trip I’ll produce a roughly 200 page full color book of the entire adventure. I’m looking for sponsors to help cover the costs of the trip, contact me here for more information on that! Your company could have it’s logo on both sides of the camper for the entire trip.

Saturday evening was a very special event. The NHRA Museum unveiled The Beast IV, and it awesome. If you want a full run down on the BeastIV you need to get the latest issue of Hop Up Magazine and enjoy the giant feature article. Yeah I’m kinda mean like that. I decided since everyone was taking photos of the car I’d try to capture a few of the people at the unveiling. It was my thought that in 50 years the people will be just as interesting to folks as the car which they will still be able to enjoy.
