Default Re: My .02 on Barrett-Jackson

Like it or not it has become a tradition.It fits perfectly into the winter gap in Speeds line up,and serves as a platform to postion and promote speedweeks.They are smart inviting people like Robert Yates,Ray Everenham,T.S. etc as it attracts the crossover viewer market.Defintely the theatre of the absurd with the early stuff(i.e. pasta making 308 Fazazz and sewer sucking RR on Dayton's) but they made ya laugh all the same.Looked like more than a few cars were bought that could be sold higher elsewhere..

My only problem is the amount of commercials,and the heavy Ford overtones courtesy the homer with the shades.They can't show every car and have to pay bills but it sure looked choreograhed to cut away whenever possible when GM cars were up.Personally think they should make it a three day event with longer hours-would save the consignors and bidders quite a bit on incidentals.All said it is a great event,something for every one..but if I ever sell there it will be down the street.
