Okay, okay, I admit it was nice to see Stewart and Goldberg trying to help the bidding, but I guess I am just a purist and those guys aren't drag racers.

I haven't watched Barrett-Jackson very often, but it seems Drag racing related cars don't fetch nearly as much as you would think. Must be a street crowd.

I don't want to turn this into a "oh, boo hoo; nobody cares about NHRA" thread, but I myself was a little surprised there wasn't atleast a mention of John Force Racing while they were interviewing Ford's Director of Racing on camera. (I think that's his title). He seemed like a nice guy. Talked about NASCAR & a couple other series, and I guess thay had a huge display there. Ida' thunk one of those nitro Mustang's woulda been involved.

Chris, I noticed that too. With all the money they spend with Force, and now with Tasca, it would seem worthy of a mention. Regarding Mike's FC selling for only 130K, I was kind of bummed too, but remember, this is literally a car that will just be kept in a garage or display or something. All the sales were down this year, and most of the cars sold can be driven and enjoyed, so the FC, especially being a show car, is really more like a piece of art. So really, 130 wasn't too awful bad.

I had a car there and it sold for more than we expected...61 Vette--85K..
The F/C was rumored to go for no more than 100k, so the 130k brought smiles to all parties involved..You have to look @ demand--how many people in the world dream of owning a nitro fuel car compared to some who dreamed of owning a 60's muscle car..
The legal parties that were assigned to BJ stated that final sale prices were up...
Next show we will have another 61 Vette and a 74 Vega/jenkins pro-ptock car..
One thing I know from my end is that we have enjoyed a bigger payday thru BJ than any other selling group...
