Barrett-Jackson Trip January 18th-21st

Barrett

I live about 20 minutes north of the show. Yes I am going and if you want to get together before or afterwards I am up for that also.
 
Bryan, I like your idea of the Heart Attack Grill and the Saturday Show. I'm gonna try to plan on both of them. Like you, Friday is my "for sure" day at the auction. If I don't get to see everything that I want, I may try to go back on Sat. However, I went 2 years ago, and Friday was plenty crowded for me. I can't imagine what the crowds are going to be like on Saturday this year. This thing just keeps growing!

Since you're in the host town, you have arranged beautiful weather for us, right? 2 years ago was when the big flood came on Wednesday during the week of the show. I remember seeing all therunning water as I landed on Thursday. I couldn't believe all of the auction cars sitting down in the mud. It was a disaster. I've heard they've done some things to fix it in case of rain, but it was a mess 2 years ago.
 
let me offer it up now, I'll be driving to the Auction Friday morning in order to be there when the "doors" open. I'll be taking my daily driver (Crown Vic) and can squeeze four others (maybe even 5) if anyone wants to car pool. I don't want to risk the MM out there in a parking lot. I plan to stay until my feet hurt and then another three or four hours more. (all day)

I live south, in Chandler, and will be passing where most of you are staying thursday night. If you want a ride, let me know.

cell is 480.276.3408. call me anytime from 6AM to 11PM.

And, if you want to get together for thursday evening dinner, call or PM me. Looking forward to it. Travel safe!
 
I was hoping I could drive over to Jerry and Tallboy's hotel and hook a ride in their rental. I am not bringing my MM but I don't want my MKVII sitting in the dirt parking lot over the auction either.

I'm here and ready. I just PM'd you MrsJones.

I live in Chandler and will be going to the auction on Friday. Planning on going to Pavilions Car show on Saturday and showing the Marauder. http://www.pavilionscarshow.com/history.html

Nothing formal, but I'm seeing if anyone wants to meet for dinner Thursday night at http://www.heartattackgrill.com/ Never been there since we just moved here and I don't think the wife and kids will go for it.

If someone has other plans in place thursday let me know, please. I'd love to tag along.

Plan for Thursday & Friday

Gents-

Just spoke to MrJones and then to Jerry.

The TX boys are way behind schedule due to weather and will not be in town until sometime tomorrow.

Jerry is on track to be here at 3ish local time. I understand the FL contingency is also enroute via air at this time.

THURSDAY EVE
Jerry asked that I suggest some places to get a steak. So, here goes:

1. Stockyards Restaurant - A little pricey, but reviews are good. Since I'm new to town I've not been. http://local.yahoo.com/details?fr=d...KLk1ZoUp0KB_b9B8ArLjB.2PDzTk87Sap72Jd_tAqxlQ4 If we're set on steak, this is what I'd recommend for location and what I think every MM owner likes, nostalga.

2. Again, I'd like to go here, we can have fun and it won't break the bank - http://www.heartattackgrill.com/ It's a little further from your hotel - probably 20 minutes or less if you wait for traffic to clear out, which is around 7PM.

3. If you want to play it safe, there are several Black Angus' nearby too.

I have kids soccer until 6PM tonight. Call my cell anytime to today. I'd be happy to play social coordinator for the evening. 480.276.3408

FRIDAY
I think we're meeting in the hotel parking lot, but we can nail it down tonight. I know I want to be there before 9AM to get some quality seating for the day.

Update from AZ.

Marauder'ers from all over the continent converged on AZ.

Jerry B and company, John Kuhn, Ronin77, Deadvic and me had a nice dinner at Stockyards, ummm beef.

Not sure if Ronin77 got scared having a minivan full of people pull a u-turn and follow him to the resturant. Certainly I would have been with Jerry's driving.
:help:



Off to the auction in a little while. I have a camera and luckily no checkbook.

Friday update, Jerry has shown almost all of his driver training skills but still has one more hubcap to put a dent in. WE saw a lot of money spent oncars today. It boggles the mind.
We ate dinner at the Pink Taco talked about cars and called it a night.
