Anybody else planning on going by and hanging out at the Barrett-Jackson auction end of the month? Should be a good time! Let me know if you plan on going.

Just got back, it was great . I had a sponsors pass(thanks to a friend) so drinks were free all day (and I love Gentleman Jack) I did hot laps in both the FR500 and ZR1's even got to go out on to the track to shoot some pictures

well actually you don't get to drive, you get shotgun and a pro driver runs around the track with you, but you do get to test drive a new Vett. or Cadi. ect.

I passed on the rides this year. I took hot lap on both the ZR1 and FR500 in Vegas last year. When I got in the FR500, I told the driver that the ZR1 guys said that these cars are dogs and slow. I told the same thing to the ZR1 driver that the FR500 guys said that the ZR1 are POS and slow. I think I got a better ride each time.

Let me understand this correctly. You spent a day drinking for free and driving a FR500 and ZR1. I might punch you in the face out of no where the next time I see you. Nothing personal.

Oh. I see. You get driven around like a little girl. I don't feel quite as bad now. :pot_stir:

Got FREE tickets...got to borrow a company Silverado with a full tank of gas...went for the first time this past Saturday...it was a BLAST! Plan to do this again if they are in the OC again. My highlight...beating the crap out of a Cadillac CTS-V around the lap thing...twice.
