• LMAO!  Looks like you just cost some auction house $200, good one.  Allow me to correct my language: I dare anyone out there $10 to become the high bidder.
  
  If you insist, I\'ll donate $10 to .info

  The Robby Gordon eBay auction for the helmet Gordon wore during Sunday\'s NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at New Hampshire International Speedway will be reinstated at 10 p.m. EDT tonight. Officials at Robby Gordon Motorsports, along with representatives of eBay, conferred on Wednesday afternoon and chose to allow Auction Cause, a premier online auction management agency specializing in high profile eBay corporate and charity events, to manage the process. Most notably, Auction Cause has the ability to properly qualify bidders on the eBay site. The original bidding exceeded $10 million on Wednesday, and given the traffic on the site, it was difficult to determine the validity of all the bidders.

  
  Way to ruin it for everyone, Dave. :tongue:

• Seriously, when I saw 30 different users had bid in the million-dollar range, I knew that auction was toast.  And speaking of toast, if you search "robby gordon helmet" on ebay now, there is a piece of burnt toast with his helmet scraped into it.  Current high bid is $2.40

• I think that after they hand the helmet over to the winner, he falls of the the stage, hits his head and slips into a coma for a month. Thats how stupid it is to spend that much money on a helmet.....
