Question - can general admission get into staging lanes and main tent?
The TA had 37 actual miles.

General admission gets you into the pre-staging lanes, all tents, and around the bidders pit. Lots to see there on Friday and Saturday nights.

I thought Steve knew his stuff, until I see this glorious blunder.

- No sign of high rollers Rick Hendrick or John Staluppi
- the top car of the auction was less than the top car at Mecum Kissimmee
- trucks/SUV's bringing absolute stupid $
- Late 70's Trans Ams selling for insane $
- lost commentator Chris Jacobs to Mecum
- NO SIGN OF CHARLIE LILLARD EITHER?

I went to BJ Scottsdale about 10 years ago and want to go back but not sure it still has the same energy?

Look forward to the opinions of others.
On Wednesday night I did see Hendrick's general manager of Hendrick Performance (Dale Ledbetter) on the phone & winning the bid of I believe $3.6 millon on the 1st 2023 yellow Corvette built.

Seems every vintage Bronco and short bed PU left in the world was there... Maybe the Musclecar world is "maturing" and BJ is re focusing primarily on what now brings the $$ these days, leaving the majority of the vintage muscle (ie; Stock Muscle) to Mecum.? Just my $.02

Yep, BJ has been focusing on restomods, vintage trucks and suv's for years. Mecum is certainly the largest musclecar auction.

WOW, looks like a few people aren't going to be happy!
What is the car that hit the Shelby, a custom 1st gen Camaro?
