“This past January was the first time FCCS was a part of our Scottsdale Auction and it was a resounding success,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “The event attracted a large, younger and diverse audience of automotive enthusiasts, and together with our Family Day the day prior, we hosted our largest opening weekend attendance in the history of Barrett-Jackson. I can’t wait to see the entries at FCCS for the second installment at Barrett-Jackson this January, and I look forward to celebrating this great hobby with everyone in attendance.”
