Default A NECF Girl's Barrett-Jackson Experience

Hi there. Well, as promised, below are various pics from my trip to B-J. It was truly a once in a life time experience - and no Jack, I didn't have to sleep with anyone to have it.

If you want details, read my blog...it's worth the read:

Thanks for posting A. It looks like a good time was shared by an awful lot of folks! (I'm saving our stimulus checks for another Vette as we speak)

Looks like you had a fantastic time. Barrett Jackson is something you have to see in person at least once. I'd like to attend the FL event one day. If I ever go back to the AZ event I'll add on a few days to explore the surrounding countryside. It's really beautiful. Even in a down economy the amount of cash flowing in there is amazing. The crowd certainly gets into it, especially Friday and Saturday night.

Did you get a chance to check out the Penske Museum while you were out there?

I checked out your blog. Great marketing info in there. I'll be reading more of it later on. Many thanks.

Nice pics Looks like you had a great time. You were rubbing elbows with all the celebritys: Amy Sparks-Assitter, Lance Miller, Dana Forrester and even Batman You even got to ride up on stage. I'm going to have to go to one of those.

Me too - I really wanted to add the 1992 Porsche to my collection (I'm in a photo with it). Oh well...

Glad you enjoyed them. Lance and everyone were a lot of fun. They sure made us feel like super VIPs. Christina's husband owns a Vette restoration biz (see my blog link for details) so they had VIP passes. It was really, really cool to be up close and personal through the whole thing. And riding in that car was just the icing on the cake!

Thanks for the compliment! No, I didn't get anywhere but the auction. THere was so much to do and very little time to do it (it seemed). I've been to Scottsdale/Phoenix many times - it's a beautiful area. The weather couldn't have been any more perfect.

They are so cool together. And both really nice. Everyone was.

Lance, a celebrity??? He is, I'm just joking with him in case he's reading. I have to tell you that Dana is one of the nicest people I've met. He was so much fun to hang with. He signed my painting "From Your Sugar Daddy, Dana". He was a great sport and really made the weekend. I always believe it's good to do business with nice people, so I highly recommend buying from him if you like his work.

It's a shame there weren't more celebs there - I was hoping to meet Dr. McDreamy and Tony Stewart. Neither showed this year...

Awesome pictures, and it seems like you really enjoyed yourself.

Looks like you caught Jim sitting on the panel in the last picture you have there.
