It is not what it's hyped up to be. It's a high class State Fair with lots of low class vendors selling sunglasses and bric-a-brac in between the airplanes and tire companies. The biggest vendor selling labeled t-shirts, hats, shot glasses and other assorted garbage was Barrett-Jackson themselves selling with their goo on the crap. Of the 1200 or so cars only maybe a hundred or so are notable and they are the ones that gets floated during prime time on Speed.
The only thing they didn't have was cotton candy and a Ferris wheel.
I was very disappointed as a long time attendant at Monterey CA auctions during car week in August. You want a real quality auction event go to Gooding, Russo & Steel, Bonhams.
