Barrett Jackson is much fun. It is costly, but worth the experience. I have gone as a participant and spectator. If the weather is good, it is very good. If you are local, a one day pass works well. If you are coming from out of town, get a hotel in the east side of Phoenix as Scottsdale is very expensive in the winter months. Russo Steele is also the same weekend. Lower admission and not as many cars, but a good time as well. Both auctions are within one mile of each other.
