An Afternoon Of Motorsport Fun During Arizona Auction Week

An Afternoon Of Motorsport Fun During Arizona Auction Week

by VM Staff
Phoenix, AZ — Arizona Auction Week is in full swing. With eight auctions around the valley, there is plenty to see and do for visiting (and native) automotive aficionados. However, with all of the auctions around, talk can start to center around terms like “value” and “investment.”

Not only was Long around to mingle a bit and chat with people, but he also gave spirited ride-alongs aound the Bondurant School course in a Porsche GT2 RS Clubsport.

Brian Blain spoke about his Nationals, answered questions, and gave rides to anyone daring enough to jump into the mechanic’s seat. National was a luxury car that had a glorious, but relatively short-lived competition career from 1910-1913.
