I DVR'd the entire show and then watch what I want, and fast forward through the commercials and or cars I have little interest in. If your cable co. offers the DVR it's the only way to watch TV. You can watch what you want when you want, and it records when your out. I'm sure any of us that have it, love it.

I didn't miss a car watching it in fast motion. Then whenever I spotted a car I was intersted in I would play it for real and listen to the commentary. Once the hammer dropped it was back to fast motion along with zapping the commercials.
I watched the entire Saturday show in about 1.5 hours after the 11:00 news.

That is awesome! I didnt even see her there.
And to think that i was content staring at the incredibly hot female bartenders.
I was surprised to see that the bidder registration fee included 10 free drinks per day per person. I had 3 bourbon and cokes and that was it for me-those drinks were very strong.
I now understand how people get carried away when bidding. The excitement, the booze, the crowd. Television just doesnt do it justice.

yeah, I first encountered the ten drinks per day for credentialed folks a few years ago - and those are just the free ones. (Patheticly, my drinks pass with the 10 boxes per day was pretty clean except for the few drinks I picked up for my sister.)
In fact, if you sat up in the real comfy reserved chairs up near the stage (my dad was there with me and kept insisting on sitting in those seats; I felt like we were going to be kicked out at any moment) they had waitress service like the casinos, and the drinks were comp.

Ha, my father kept trying to sneak up there as well. The older he gets the less he understands boundaries. He was interested i the lyndall blue 67 427/390hp coupe, but i talked him out of it. I think it ended up going for 132,000. It was a really nice car, but there were better deals. Did you see the 67n427/435hp car go for 102,000? I didnt get a close look at the car and one of the NCRS guys said it needed some work, but that appeared to be a good deal.

That Lynndale blue 67 that went on Saturday (I think there may have been another Lynndale blue car there?) was very pretty, I oogled it out in the sun in the lanes leading up to the staging area. Lynndale looks so good when they get it right.

Oh, That Jerry Hansen? I knew him back in the day when I was a F-5000
wrench. He drove an Orange Lola T-300, before that an orange McLaren and also an orange C-3. He's a well liked guy and a VERY good racer.
