• Vintage Racing at Laguna Seca, with Jim Huff

  Alex sits down with Randy and friend of BaT Jim Huff, furniture merchant and connoisseur of the Neue Klasse, to talk about racing at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion during this year's recent edition of Monterey Car Week. Both Randy and Huff drove in the Pre-Reunion and the main event later in the week; Huff describes mixing it up with Giulias and GTAs in the saloon class in his BMW 1800 Ti, while Randy and his Mustang held their own with more experienced racers amongst a crop of other animals: Cobras, Jags, and Tigers. Heartfelt recommendations come from all to spend time at the track if you ever find yourself on the Peninsula for Car Week (it's where it's at!). The duo "lightly threaten" to expand their efforts to the Pacific Northwest and (well) beyond, talk about developing camaraderie from on-track observations and paddock interactions, describe "helmet-yelling out of stoke," theorize about the ultimate old-school tow rig, take a brief aside to mention the the wooden boat of our dreams, and wrap up by recounting the recent 50th annual SAAC meeting at Sonoma.Links for things mentioned in this episode:07:18  7 generations of IROC race cars you’ll see at Monterey this year Classic Motorsports08:17  Exclusive Tour: F1’s 75-Year Display at Rolex Monterey with Zak Brown YouTube09:15  IROC Race Cars BaT09:24 Pontiac Firebird IROC Race Car BaT14:39  Presenting the 2025 Mohr Imports Car Week Collection: Postcards from Monterey BaT29:02  User cfujgo BaT32:05 1968 BMW 1600-2 Race Car BaT34:12  Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance Best-In-Class-Winning 1955 Chris-Craft 21’ Cobra BaT36:40  SVO Mustangs BaTGot suggestions for our next guest from the BaT community or One Year Garage episode?
