Jim Busby
What I love about motorsport is the ridiculous number of stories just waiting to be told!
At every level, in each era, there are incredible personalities who contributed greatly to the development of our sport, and Jim Busby is one such man.
Based out of Laguna Beach it would have been easy for anyone driving past, to miss the world class racing operation taking place just out of sight.
Jim is one of the rare talents that could combine engineering and fabrication skills with great speed behind the wheel.
Hitting his stride in the heady days of 80’s sportscars in the IMSA GTP Series, his cars won multiple races as well as winning his Class at Le Mans as a driver.
It was a great time of camaraderie and high jinks, but balanced by intense competition, and Jim saw it all.
Drag racing and the famous Bonneville Salt Flats also benefited from his intense passion for all things fast, and being a true blooded hot-rodder he made everything faster than when he got it.
What a cool guy and great fun to talk to. We only just touched the surface in this podcast, so I may need round 2!
Enjoy,
JB
