Barrett-Jackson, Th e World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, hosts its annual fl agship auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale each January, serving as the gateway to events season in the Valley.
Th is year, like years past, Chairman/CEO Craig Jackson expects another incredible event with an enviable No Reserve collector car docket and a host of activities for auction-goers of all ages. Th e event kicks off on Saturday, Jan. 21, and runs through Jan. 29.
Included in this year’s auction is a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, one of only 644 sold new in the United States. One of the last and most popular analog supercars, the vehicle has less than 3,400 miles and, while it was originally fi nished in black, this Carrera GT now has a concours-quality paint fi nished in a bespoke PPG red.
A limited-edition 2020 Ford GT Carbon Series is another featured vehicle selling with No Reserve. Finished in frozen white, its carbon blue graphics package features a blue center stripe down the middle of the exposed single carbon-fi ber stripe.
Other options include exposed carbon-fi ber sideview mirror caps and the standard Carbon Series weight-saving titanium exhaust system. Essentially still in the wrapper, this supercar has only 32 miles on the odometer and comes with the window sticker, factory production photos and battery charger.
Also headed to the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction block is a 1966 Shelby Group II Mustang built for Ken Miles to race in the Sports Car Club of America Trans-American Sedan Championship. However, Miles died in a crash while testing a car at Riverside International Raceway on August 17, 1966, and never got behind the wheel of this Mustang.
Its fi rst owner was driver John McComb, who competed extensively in SCCA events. McComb sold the car in 1967, but it continued to be raced into the early 1970s.
Another highlight is a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, No. 61 of 69 built in 1969. It is powered by an all-aluminum 427/430hp V8 engine mated to a M21 4-speed manual transmission and a 4.10 posi-traction rear end.
Th is Camaro is optioned with D80 spoiler equipment and an AM radio. It comes with a Jerry MacNeish Certifi cate of Authenticity and is from the Northside Customs Collection.

Hale Th eatre comes up with ‘laugh riot, ‘Th e Hit’
GET OUT STAFF
The Hale Theatre has come up with a ribald comedy of love, family and attempted assassination to begin the not-so-new year through Feb. 11. “The Hit” by Mike Buckley received critical acclaim when the play premiered at the Horton Grand Theatre.
It is centered in San Francisco, where Susan is trying to save herself from a slow death by hiring a hitman. She mistakes an unsuspecting travel agent for the real hitman and then comes to find out the real hitman is falling for her brother.
Between all the laughs and confusion is a story of second chances at life and love.
The new comedy stars Hale veteran Alaina Beauloye as Susan, most recently seen in “Lucky Stiff.” Originally from New York City, Alaina boasts an extensive list of credits including Broadway, film and commercials. She has been seen in more than 20 productions at Hale and is a two time AriZoni winner.
Playing across from Beauloye is Adam Guinn as Sam, who has been in several Hale productions such as “The Music Man” and “Brigadoon.”
“The Hit” is directed by Tim Dietlein, who has been involved in theater Starring in “The Hit” at the Hale Theatre in Gilbert are, from left, Alaina Beauloye, Adam Guinn and Tyler Saccoman. (Courte-
bration of Barrett-Jackson in 2022 was its most successful auction in the company’s history, surpassing $203 million in sales while also raising more than $8.8 million for charity.
As is the case with all Barrett-Jackson events, many celebrities attended as well.
“Last year, Joey Logano came with several other NASCAR drivers,” he said. “He ended up being the NASCAR Cup Series champion (at Phoenix Raceway).”
Th e auction also welcomed GRAMMY Award-winning artist Pitbull as he sold his 2022 Karma GS-6 EV “Mr. 305 Edition” to support Th e SLAM Foundation and Selfless Love.
Other celebrities in attendance included Bret Michaels, Tim Allen and Renee Zellweger, as well as professional athletes such as DeAndre Hopkins, Richie Incognito, Bubba Watson and Jacoby Ellsbury.
Th is year was one of change for Barrett-Jackson. In August, IMG, an Endeavor company, acquired a majority stake in it.
Th e global leader in events, IMG owns, operates and commercially represents the likes of Frieze art fairs, the Madrid and Miami Open tennis tournaments, Formula Drift, and New York Fashion Week: Th e Shows.
“Pairing Barrett-Jackson with the unique power of the Endeavor network is an unparalleled opportunity for our company, immediately opening doors to amplify and accelerate the growth of Barrett-Jackson as a global lifestyle brand,” Jackson said.
“I couldn’t be more excited to have this perfect partner as we look to optimize our fan experience and create new touchpoints for car enthusiasts around our live events and media off erings.”
Jackson and his team are working on elevating the auction experience and promises there are plenty of activities at the events beyond the block.
“It’s a lifestyle event and we add experiences all the time — live music, fi repits, cigar lounge, the food and beverage off erings. It all lends itself to this experience that is Barrett-Jackson.”
Several family-friendly activities include STEM Fest on Saturday, January 21, as part of Barrett-Jackson’s Family Day, when children 12 and under receive free admission. Hot Laps and Th rill Rides with Toyota, Dodge, Ford and Chevrolet as well as exhilarating off -road experiences with RAM and Toyota will be available throughout the event.
As part of STEM Fest, winners of Barrett-Jackson’s community STEM Program, Gearing Towards Th e Future, will showcase their projects along with companies and organizations focused on STEM initiatives. Th e winners will also receive their awards during the event.
Introduced in September, Gearing Towards Th e Future was created with SciTech Institute to develop future automotive engineers and technicians.
“Barrett-Jackson is passionate about its long history of creating family-friendly automotive lifestyle events that encourage multiple generations to come together and enjoy a shared interest with one another,” Jackson said.
“Th is new STEM program provides an even greater opportunity to engage with the youth here in Arizona through an exciting educational platform that will help support the future community of automotive enthusiasts.”
Th ere were four open competitions: a 10th and 11th grade-only competition focused on the design and build of an electrical component for any vehicle for the future of transportation, a 7th and 8th grade-only competition focused on developing a plan that outlines how to implement electric vehicle charging infrastructure that could be implemented across the country, a 4th and 5th grade-only competition focused on presenting the design and layout of a future vehicle, and a competition open for all grades, Pre-K through 12, with the focus on presenting a plan for future transportation options in a community setting of any size.
Barrett-Jackson is invested in Gen X, too. Th e Future Collector Car Show (FCCS) returns Sunday, Jan. 22, with a new location: the Polo Field at WestWorld of Scottsdale. Th e concours-style event will celebrate the cars we love today and the collectibles of tomorrow.
During the show, which was formerly held at High Street, spectators will enjoy a variety of vehicles ranging from the 1980s to today, from highly modifi ed custom builds to original and perfectly preserved rides, eff ectively creating an experience where generations of vehicle owners can fi nd common ground in their love of future collectibles. “Th e FCCS is all about cars from the ’80s and up, and it’s really taking the collectors and enthusiasts who dream about those cars and showcasing them,” Jackson said.
“It’s a true judging of that era of cars. We really want the generation that grew up with these cars—millennials, Gen-Xers— to enjoy this entire genre of cars. We’ll have European sports cars and Japanese cars; cars the younger generation of automotive enthusiasts grew up loving.”
Jackson says there’s truly something for everyone.
“Barrett-Jackson is a place to see and be seen,” he said. “It is a lot of fun. It’s something unique. It is the only major event like it in the world. People come from around the world to enjoy it. Locals should take advantage of it as well. Th ere’s so much happening here in Arizona in early 2023, and it all starts with Barrett-Jackson.”
This 2019 Ford GT Heritage sold last year for $1.2 million. (Barrett-Jackson)

Musicians fi nd peace after prison terms

Rodney Scott Pieres has seen it all, from incarceration and addiction to redemption, sobriety and “righteous living.”
Th e Phoenix resident has parlayed those experiences into Deep as Bones, a Christian hard rock band that opens for Talk to Sheep at Pub Rock in Scottsdale on Saturday, Jan. 21.
Recently, Deep as Bones released the music video for its single “Spun,” which touches on freedom from addiction and being on the road to sobriety. Filmed at Painted Tiger Studios in Glendale, the video was directed, fi lmed and edited by Gavin Donnelly of Soundphoria Media. It appears on their full-length, self-titled debut.
Pieres had a “pretty rough childhood,” raised by a father who dealt cocaine in the 1980s. He said his dad loved him but couldn’t stop partying.
Th en things turned for the worse.
“I was taking some of the coke he had lying around. You know, monkey see, monkey do,” Pieres said. “I ended up getting arrested a bunch for drinking.

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that involves damage to the nerves in your feet. Symptoms include muscle cramping, difficulty walking, burning, tingling, numbness, and pain. In many cases, it’s caused by diabetes, but poor circulation can also cause these symptoms or make them worse. Poor circulation or PAD (peripheral artery disease) is caused by the buildup of fatty material inside the arteries, limiting the amount of blood that passes through them. “Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to your legs and feet which they need to stay healthy,” explains Dr. Shahram Askari of CiC Foot & Ankle. “If you have cramping, leg pain, or non-healing sores, you could have PAD.”
The good news is specialists are able to treat PAD with a minimally invasive procedure in an office setting. Using x-ray imaging, Dr. Joel Rainwater, an interventional radiologist at Comprehensive Integrated Care, is able to go into the bloodstream through a tiny nick in the skin to see if there is any plaque buildup. “We’re able to see if there is a blockage and then remove it with special instruments,” explains Dr. Rainwater. “Once the plaque is removed, blood flow improves.” Patients are home within hours and back to everyday activities with almost no downtime and no stitches. Medicare as well as most insurance plans cover treatment.
If you’re just realizing that you may be suffering from neuropathy or poor circulation, make an appointment to see a doctor. Or, if you’re not finding relief from medication or treatment, a second opinion may be helpful to determine the cause of the tingling, cramping, pain, or numbness in your feet.
Dr. Askari and Dr. Rainwater can be reached at 602-954-0777.
