Barrett-Jackson that is. Be there for the Friday and Saturday auctions. Be Sure to watch the action on SPEED, after this it will be all NASCAR.
See ya there.

Yup. Everything. Maybe you're not old enough to remember Parnelli, AJ Foyt and Gurney hangin' it all out at Riverside, in NASCAR, in REAL cars, cars that started life on the assembly line in Detroit or Dearborn. Cars that not only looked like what you could buy from your friendly local dealer, you actually COULD buy them. Drivers that ran Indy, NASCAR, USAC dirt tracks, and Le Mans, and maybe even F1, all in the same year. As for Grand Am, I prefer ALMS and its support racing, where you see REAL cars, racing on classic tracks, and REAL innovators like the LMP1 and LMP2 cars, the Vettes (which, if allowed to run WFO, could give the LMP cars a run for the money), as well as the Porsches and others that run in the GT classes. The Speed Challenge, which generally runs as a support series, offers unparalleled racing, a diverse list of manufacturers, driving cars you can buy (albeit suitably prepped for the track).
As for Speed TVs coverage, it's nice they can cut to the "auction", something we can all enjoy ........... Seems to me there was a lot of criticism of their coverage last year ......................... The Cap'n
