A question?

Don, Your turn to have the target on you.... Seriously looking at the price paid for Ray Allens car I believe it was mostly time related. The age of the population of Baby Boomers who had money and remembered the performances of the car. The AA/SA car of today is just worth "todays values" of parts plus for being fast today. It might bring something higher in 10 or 20 years if the population of car lovers still has the fever the baby boomers carry for our drag racing days and cars in general.
I wonder what the alcohol level in the crowd is when they get up the excitement to bid up these cars. Todays economy scares probably has the values more depressed than last year..... These cars are afterall an "investment" excuse for most at those prices. They fluctuate too I think like the markets...
