Default Re: Barrett-Jackson at Palm Beach......

One other thought comes to mind, you're right, they don't go broke buying these types of cars. But, we who love them (and I wold love to have one) can't afford them. People with more money than God come in and snatch cars up at ridiculous prices making the market values shoot up. That makes it even more difficult for someone like me to get one. I have to resort to trampling through farmer's ditches searching cars out. I am not trying to make "class warfare" or anything....just an observation. It is in many respects good for the hobby to have these types involved, but it also hurts the availibility of the cars in a lot of ways too. Forgive me for this, but it is kind of the same situation as Nextel Cup drivers racing in Busch series events. It is good because it puts butts in the seats, but it is bad because it takes opportuities away from those who are working hard every week to get a win. These are just random thoughts, but do they make sense?
