What's the old adage about 99% of the answers to life's questions are money? Nothing different here. I'm fairly certain that BJ has a multi year contract with speed to air these events,and this one had been planned well in advance of the economic downturn. When the premier and passionate F1 commentator Bob Varsha misses doing color for a potential championship deciding F1 race for an auction,that should tell you what it's all about Alfie- contracts.

If I were going to put my car in a BJ auction,factoring all associated costs of transportation,lodging,amount of qualified buyers etc I would most certainly wait three months till Scottsdale for obvious reasons. Don't know about you fellers but i'm officially tired of the sunglass steve and Craig show,Carroll Shelby signed anything,and rambling diatribes when the bidding stalls. I realize it's a revenue stream for many people and does great things for charities but it's just old. Those two looked like they were on suicide watch after the MG went through.

Good thing Ron Pratt was there(hint)
