Barrett Jackson

It's on,




Funny story. I applied for my credentials too late, a week ago yesterday (Friday). I got an email back in under ten minutes declining my request. I was bummed. The next day, I was eating some killer BBQ at a place (with a gas station and car wash) near Westworld. As I'm chomping down on my brisket, I see Gary Bennett walking around. He's one of the HMFs that you see up on the stage all the time. The dude with the long, grey hair. So I approached him and explained what happened. He was real nice and even told me they are short on actual Barrett Jackson photographers and wasn't sure why they didn't offer me that. After a couple minutes of chatting I gave him my phone number and other details, and that was that.

Fast forward to today. I go to the media area and they have no credentials for me. But they just picked up the phone and called Gary Bennett, and he said hell yes. Good times.

The Pratte Collection contains some amazing cars going up for bid. Also, the original 55 Chevy from Two Lane Blacktop will be auctioned off as well.
