Barrett Jackson Saturday 1/18/2020 and Pavilions, too!

Early morning...calm before the storm (of people!)







New tradition of Holly taking a goofy pic...in front of goofy car (in this case a car/plane)











Blazer in the staging lanes







Craig Jackson's Shelby's...a really neat display. Yes, the red one was at MCACN in 2018! (Pre-restoration)













Holly and the new Vette!







And some staging lane shots....

Holly and Jamie Jarvis










Some more staging lane shots....























This car ran poorly, then not at all. It was towed with a tow strap back to the parking lot when it was done at auction

Holly and our friend Wendy from Shelby. What a wonderful, caring person Wendy is...and a great representative and spokesperson for Shelby!

More staging lanes pics...and it's getting busier!!

















Oh look, it's a very pleasant Wayne Carini









And more staging lanes pics...

Then Holly and I were invited by Scott Black to check out Ryan Blaney (NASCAR) racing against Gary Patterson (Shelby President) in the Ford Dyno at the front of Barrett-Jackson.



Hmmm, I wonder if Ryan is related to Dave Blaney-who I used to watch race at Ascot in Gardena way back when.....

Nice pix Bruce. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to see you or Holly, I only stayed at Pavillions for a short while. What a great car-week for PHX. Auctions had some nice offerings, Pavillions had a great turnout and the weather cooperated. Phil W.

We're sorry too Phil! We saw Shaun... for a bit.

Once we were done with the dyno drag race, it made perfect sense to get out of Barrett-Jackson-as the crowds were getting huge...and we were right by the entrance/exit!


Then the quick trip to Pavilions, where we were only going to stay for about a half hour (My feet were killing me-plantar fasciitis?). Yeah sure, half hour...we spent more time than that...talking to Bob Ashton!


Anyways, enjoy the pics....




Speaking of Bob...here he is!










Some shots from Pavilions...















The latest Fernald creation....











And more cars...

It's Always good to see old friends...that you haven't seen in forever-in this case our friend Craig, whose wife has been battling cancer-and is winning the battle!

Great pictures again.

I would think a guy who traded in a Superbird plus five grand to get a new 76 Blazer would have been almost suicidal ten years ago but now the Blazers and Broncos are selling for more than GT500's and Superbirds .
