I'm likely going on Friday (all day) and possibly Saturday, although the best seat Saturday night might be in my living room

Saturday night is when the high dollar cars go.

Should we be looking for you down front with the guy in the Ferrari hat waving $1,000 bills around?!?!?

I'm jealous... I could stand an Arizona break from the AK snow... let alone watching a batch of cars worth drooling over roll by.

Have a safe trip and we'll be waiting for those pics!!!

Just got back from Phoenix today. I talked to a guy on the plane that was judging horses over at Westworld this week and he said they are already dropping cars off in the parking lot. He also told me that the government just bought the acreage next to Westworld for 80 mil. What do you think the gov is up to? Maybe the parking lot business. Who knows with our government.

My girlfriend just told me that she is taking me for my B-day. She set it up through a friend of mine that I will have a bidders pass as well. To bad I dont have the $$$ to make use of it.

It should be a great time though.

I am going every day. I was down by Westworld and they are already moving cars in. Anybody coming in for the weekend go to the Pavillions on Saturday and there will be a couple hundred cars at the McDonalds it is just 3 to 4 miles south of Westworld on the 101.
