Default Re: Barrett-Jackson / Speed Channel E-Mail

You really think "Barrett Jackson has now apparently been tainted by auto industry politics and rivalries" ? You really think they have they had planned to not air the Pace car because of a polital slant against Camaro's ? They are trying to sell a ton of cars and they are covering it on National TV They have the commercial time slots locked in for when they have to break away for a commercial. The auction runs at a breakneck pace and never on it's wished for schedule. They have no clue as to what car will be going on the block when they go to commercial probably until maybe 1 minute before it is on the block and they sure aren't going to switch the run order or slow down the run to time it so there is a fair balance of brands. Speed channel has a million things to co-ordinate and worrying about covering all the brands on TV equally is something I bet they figure will happen naturally because of the large variety of cars. Maybe you haven't noticed but I'm kind of a Camaro guy also. There just weren't that many nice Camaro's. I have not heard of any people with nice Camaro's being turned down that tried to put them in the sale.
