Default Re: Planning ahead for Barrett-Jackson

Russo-Steele is maybe a 10 min drive so go there also. Smaller but lots of intersting cars. There are a few other auctions but typically older classics or British stuff.

You should consider the Pavillions' Saturday nite cruise [700-800 cars] but there are a couple of considerations. Friday & Saturday nite at B-J is Prime Time; many high-end cars cross the block during that period. The atmosphere is crazy and the ring is packed. Can't be in both places.

If you do go you may be forever ruined. There are several Cruise Nites here in WI but nothing like Pavillions. Phoenix/Scottsdale is home to many valuable collector cars and they are out in force during auction week. I believe the first Saturday is the best because the auctions haven't started. If it is cold that evening [you'd be surprised...] the crowd at Pavillions will be way down. There is a Friday nite cruise somewhere and I'm sure someone will know of it.
