IROC Auction - the auction of a lifetime
A friend of mine sent me this and I thought I would pass it along - surely YT can make this and perhaps others!!
Okay... Here's the auction of a lifetime. If I could make this event I probably wouldn't tell you about it -- I'd want to keep it all for myself! As it turns out they've changed the date and I'll be at Amelia Island and will miss it! Crap! IROC -- the International Race of Champions. Some of you probably know that after 30 years, they've lost their major sponsor -- Crown Royal -- which is now sponsoring various race teams. The loss was so late they had no time to find and sign a new sponsor, so they're closing shop. On the second weekend in March they will auction off all remaining assets, including parts, tools, and even the cars! I did not know until a few months ago that a major "silent" partner in IROC is Roger Penske. Penske has already picked up the really rare IROC cars for his museum in AZ -- so the last remaining Mark Donohue Porsche IROC and slightly later Camaro are gone from what I've been told. Have fun! And, bring a truck! I'll be really disappointed if a few of you can't make it. I wish I could be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Harry

I forgot to add the following:
Go to the URL below for the auction house's web site: http://www.auctionlistservices.com/ A short movie will pop up on the upper right with some of the items. If you go down the main page, skipping the other auctions, there are 2 pages devoted to the two-day IROC auction. Click on either one for lots of pix of the items for sale. The full written item list is not yet up -- I check every few days but it keeps asking me to wait a few days. However, the pix will give you a good idea of the quality and quantity for sale... and it's a lot! LOTS of good IROC racing footage too ......... The cars are to be sold on the second day.
