Just got back from Barrett-Jackson yesterday ...you are there on a great day ... we are watching it live right now ... the Orange Boss 302 is on the block right now .... isn't this just the prettiest bunch of cars this year?? Good that you wore the long sleeve shirt - I just wore a T-shirt and when the sun went down I ran over to one of the BJ shops ... I bought a long sleeve t-shirt for 54 bucks .... but like Cubby says at that price they are called long sleeve crew necks ....

I heard that rain is on it's way, coming from here in San Diego ... but so far we haven't had a drop ... so I think the auction is going to be a great success for it's biggest night yet tomorrow. I am anxious to see what lot #5008, the Tucker Torpedo is going to bring in .... have fun
