I'm with you Jack. I met Ed last year when I was pitted next to him at Maple Grove. I thought he was a pretty nice guy. I had no idea he had a real thing against people with a couple of bucks regardless of whether they have worked night and day for 20 or 30 years to get there and are now enjoying the fruit of all their hard work. Too bad...

I was told this same CJ sold at BJ last year for $110K. That IS a speculator. Not a racer!

Come on Anthony.I never once said that.I have no problem with anyone who gets
involved with racing and their equipment.You have a nice fleet,cars,trailer ,etc.I'm sure you
worked hard to get where you are today.I hold no ill will towards youi or any other racer with more than what I have (which is a vast amount of people).
Take a look at the high profile speculators (some,not all) who are taking over the
collector car market.They found a place to dabble and become a hero to their friends
and adoring fans.
Jack have no fear that I'm including you in that group.In the end you're small potatoes
in the collector car market.But that's okay,if you enjoy what you do,good for you.

Jack,I don't back pedal.It's not my fault you can't comprehend the written word.You also put too much importance on yourself in the scheme of things.I repeat,I think it's a good thing when speculators get bit in the *****.Period.

I agree....if it wasnt for speculators and dirt bag shows like Barrett-Jackson more regular working stiffs could afford to have a nice muscle car these days.

Guess I'm a dirt bag --- But I'm a working stiff dirt bag - unlike many of you ! And I've been a speculator since around age 12 .

Jack your self pity is hard to bear.I never accused you of being one of the type I' talking about.It's probably true you work at your car/real estate business.And good for you.But now what does "But I'm a working stiff dirt bag - unlike many of you." mean?I worked
outside in the usual weather extremes of the northeast for my whole adult life.GrantedI was paid well for it.And please don't use the I used my head not my hands comparison.Our occupations weren't exactly rocket science.You make it seem that we are somewhat less than you in that respect.
Like you said,your words,not mine.
