I'm sure that they will get it on in the next half hour. They are skipping some cars and they just did a quick look at the car.
Hope it does real well.

Wow, that was crap. Man, I would have found a way to buy that had I know it would have gone that cheap.
And what's up with Stewart and Goldberg signing the car?

Re: Mike's FC getting ready to roll across @ Barrett Jackson
I feel bad for Mike and everyone involved cause that funny car should have drawn more money than that...Just goes to show what a niche market drag racing really is...

$130,000 I thought It would be closer to $200,000.

They were just trying to pump the price up!!! The car hobby is hurting just like the rest of the US economy.
Can you say "recession"?!?!
At least every penny of that 130 thou goes to the foundation.

Re: Mike's FC getting ready to roll across @ Barrett Jackson
I believe that only 2 vehicles have gone for over $1 million which is way down from last year.

Re: Mike's FC getting ready to roll across @ Barrett Jackson
Thanks everyone who helped this cause. Don't be disappointed. 130k is not bad. It all 100% goes to the Charity and the car has been on display and the charity got in excess of 500k already in donations because of the exposure.
Remember, Tony Stewarts car only went for 300k We're getting there as a sport, although I agree it's to slow. Thanks to everyone for all of the support and kind words. Love to all the Faulkners, even the future ones! Evan, Jim and everyone who worked hard to make a difference in so many lives moving forward. GD Bless...
Expect to win,
Mike Ashley

Re: Mike's FC getting ready to roll across @ Barrett Jackson
Made it on TV....$130,000?????? I was hoping for at least a 1/4 million.....
Hey, good to see "SMOKE" and Goldburg getting behind this effort....
Congrats to the Mike Ashley, Gotham City Racing, Torco Racing Fuel and the Faulkner family for bringing awareness to someone who knew nothing about The Eric Blake Faulkner Foundation, and the St. Vincent Parinatal Berevement Program......(ME!), and Thousand's MORE!!! That's what really matters!

Re: Mike's FC getting ready to roll across @ Barrett Jackson
I was hoping to see it go for more but $130,000 isn't chicken scratch either, I'm sure most of the people there aren't dragracing fans, there mainly classic car collectors and they have their own world just like we do, it was neat to Tony S, and Goldberg autographing the car, and working the crowd to get it to bring more money.
In all good job to Mike, Evan, and everyone else involved.

Re: Mike's FC getting ready to roll across @ Barrett Jackson
I thought $130,000 was pretty good considering the Dyno Don and Warren Johnson cars brought in less than $100,000 apiece.They were both in running condition,the Mike Ashley car was the Indy body on a show chassis and motor I believe.
