Johnny O's auction
From Johnny O'Connell: an explantion of one of his auction items!
Well, this isn't "property" per se, but it is one hell of an opportunity to become the envy of every Corvette Racing enthusiast in the world. As the headline item of my auction, all of you will get the chance to bid on this heretofore NEVER offered item. What is that item? We are calling it, "Dinner with the Doctor". That's right, Doug Fehan has generously donated his time, (and is paying the dinner bill out of his own pocket), to spend an evening of fine dining with the lucky and generous winning bidder. This item is open to everyone. The only stipulations are as follows: 1. The dinner will take place on a mutually agreed upon evening during race week at any of the ALMS race venues through the remainder of this season or any of the venues next season, just not the night prior to the actual race. 2. The Rx will pick the restaurant.....don't worry, he is plenty fussy and only eats at great places with a good wine list, although, he will be totally open to your suggestions, too. 3. The dinner has to conclude by 3 a.m. of the following morning.
So, let's see just how much this little item brings in. It is for a really GREAT cause and may never be offered again. I am certain of one thing, "Dining with the Doctor" will be an evening you will never forget.....this guy is fun, interesting, has a million great race stories, has been everywhere and knows everyone. Hell, I may bid on this myself!!!
I will begin taking bids on my website or Face Book right now...then keep you updated at the end of each day with the high bids amount, and we will complete the bidding during the actual auction. Yes, you can call in during that time to up your bid if you can't be at the race...I will have the phone number on my site the day before the auction. So, open your wallets and let's raise some serious money!!!
You can place your bids at:
