The Snake and The Mongoose cars and haulers are selling NOW at BJ auction!!!!

Bid went up to $1 Mil, not enough to meet the reserve. Probably a private deal to be made later tonight?????

No word on the price, but Rick Hendrick made a deal and bought the haulers and cars!!! Great to hear they are going to a good home and will be appreciated for their historic value!!!!!

How did i miss it? i was in the process of finding the next channel so i wouldn't miss it and never got to see the auction.
Did they drive one of the funny cars on stage?

Yup, Snake drove his car up onto the stage! The auction was on Fox then, now it's on National Geographic!!!! Totally messed up deal since Fox bought out SPEED and shut it down!!!!!!

Thanks Dave, I guess that I paused it with the DVR when it was on FOX and I needed a refreshment.
Then when it got to be 5:00 I hurried up and switched to the other channel so that I wouldn't miss it and lost it on the DVR.

I miss SPEED Channel

I'm going to bet their total viewership is way down this year because of all the chopped up segment showings. I'm not seeing near as much commentary around the net as in years past (both a good and bad thing imho). FOX owned Speed for a number of years before the "change", but maybe converting to yet another stick and ball channel was their long term objective even then. We are, relatively speaking, a small market segment, but with NBC doing the same with what used to be called The Outdoor Channel (in my market anyway) it would seem there's more supply than what I would imagine the demand is (but I'm not a big stick and ball guy, so who knows).
It looks like Velocity Channel might pick up some of the slack as they start building new domestically produced shows and trim back on the foreign produced stuff.
