I think everyone that knows you felt just as bad as you did... we all wanted that bad boy to roar to life and have the crowd go crazy.... The booing was classless...

Every car guy has been in a similar situation - a car that won't fire - or a busted clutch/rear end etc. Many big money pro drag race teams have been at the lights when the fire goes out and it won't fire back up...

Sorry Charley, that would have been the highlight. Some people have no class.

The booing crap is really juvenile, what a bunch of asshats.

It was definately painful seeing you sitting in the seat with that look on your face. It probably won't ever have a fail-to-start again, go figure.

I was sitting in the bidder area Saturday night, and I feel like the booing was directed at Steve Davis, too. The amount of buildup to the '55 driving in really made it a downer to not hear it run, and then add to that Steve talking about how they couldn't start it due to "safety" reasons. If he had just said, "those old WWII plane engines are a little temperamental sometimes," I think it would not have been as bad. The booing was pretty classless, however.

It seemed to me that the money some of the pro touring type of cars got was all over the map, though. This was especially evident with the solid axle Vettes:

The titling situation could have affected the blue one, and while it may not have been as nice as the orange one--a 200k+ difference?

The lot right before the blue Vette also went for pretty low money, I thought:

Since it was behind the ropes, I couldn't really look it over, but this looked like a really nice car.

That green cuda was on ebay about a year ago, several times. I know it was run with a buy it now, but I don't remember what it was. I do think it was right around what it brought at auction, and I know it wasn't over 6 figs.
