Yeah, not sure and I said the same thing when I read the 917 was going to be at Mecum. I just don't see it as the venue for max dollars on iconic European race cars. I was casually watching most of the afternoon and I think i saw some 911's sell around the $100k-$150 range, but not the big dollar Porsche cars leading up to the 917. I didn't ask Martin when the 910 agreed to be part of the show but I suspect if was after the 917 was signed up. Probably true for several of those other higher dollar p-cars too.
