Barrett-Jackson / Speed Channel E-Mail

I agree with Charley........After going this year for the first time and seeing how everything works.....it's pretty simple........the cars are continously coming across the block and the commercials are spaced thruout the hour...not a lot of control unless there is a "High Profile" car going across......after being there and coming home and watching the rerun on Tivo.......I think about half the cars never make it on TV

Speed Channel advertisement:

"Coming to a TV set near you..... Barrett-Jackson, the all Corvette, all Hemi car auction. We will only show the cars we want to. BJ is the 800 pound gorilla of the collector car auction industry and we will do what we please"



NOT...........

At one point during the Friday auction I think it was, a reader emailed Speed and commented on the lack of exposure Pontiacs were getting. It seemed that everytime one came up, Speed cut away to commercial. After the email was read by the Speed commentators, you did see an increase on the coverage of Pontiacs. Speed did let you know about it.

No way SV/BJ can win at this. Pick up any car magazine and read the "letters tot he editor". More times then not, about too much of this, not enough of that, etc.

Like the Royal Carribean Cruise Line ad says "Get Out There" (next year yourself). Plan the time, book a cheap flight, cheap room, cheap rental car and make a $400-$500 trip out of it. Then you can drop by Denis's home, meet some of the boyz, visit the auction sites and SEE ALL THE CARS up close and personal....

Chuck amongst many others was caught in the action of checking the cars out first hand. No armchair Quarter back here.
