ERIC.... Since I saw you at Monroe, I ran into a guy that knows the numbers - and attendance was DOWN 50% from 2 years ago there (Monroe SM).
They had to work HARD to get the 289 Cobra up to 400K -- my guess was an opening bid of 450K and thought it might go to 600K... Noticed two of my buddies (one is my next door neighbor) on the stage... and both own REAL cobras.. and neither were bidding.... just watching.

I did notice the event today was a little light on people. But 50% is HUGE. I have not been there in about 4 years.
I thought that Cobra should have brought better money too. I was just talking to someone about how hard they were working to get the price up. That was not the only car they had to work the crowd for either.
It was good to see you today. One of these days we will have to actually plan on running into each other and hang around a while together.
