Alex sits down with Max Maddox, the new Head of Creative at Donut Media, at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca during Monterey Car Week 2025.

With an aural background of vintage race cars on track and fresh off a test drive of the new 1,064-horsepower C8 Corvette ZR1, Max talks about two run-ins with Horacio Pagani; a brief IQ test; branded soap; Car Week traffic; the mystery Hella air dam on his E30; sage advice regarding BMW window regulators; the Porsche 911 he bought on BaT for $850; a new flagship show for the channel; whether "more expnesive is more better"; a daring take on Y2K-era spinners; the Great Host Departure of 2024; becoming a Civic liker; tailoring Donut for a TV audience; and whether he'll turn into a roof tent guy now that he's got a diesel Cayenne.

Producer's note: Due to some technical kerfuffles, this week's episode sounds less than ideal. We'll be back to top form in no time!

Alex, Randy, Howard, and Zac–the whole crew is back together again! They discuss Randy's first time out in the world of vintage racing versus Howard's lifelong experience; the stellar track food, green ravines, and worryingly fast straights at Road America; pit bikes; catching up with B.S. Levy; the various on-track attitudes (and interpretations of vintage spec) from event to event; the experience of driving in the race car parade from the track to downtown Elkhart Lake; Spotted Cow; the next tracks on the list; exhausted radiators; some notable names they'll be sharing Laguna Seca with this weekend; and great memories from Malibu Grand Prix.

The group close out with several recent collections from the site, hard-to-find hardtops, and other watchlist highlights from this very exciting and high-volume time at BaT.

 Alex and BaT strategy director Zac discuss the luxuries of bicoastal living; spring in New York City; the eye-opening rust situation for a first-time visitor to the Midwest; a novel way to avoid road tolls; which one is the "villain" of the podcast; and unspoken Wisconsin speed limits. Then, on to the main event: the absoutely stellar time we all had at Road America for our Alumni Gathering at the vintage races in July. Zac finds a way to briefly resurface his favorite car, the Toyota Solara, before they talk about the transformative experience (and innate patriotism) of the traditional Friday night race car parade into Elkhart Lake. The pair wrap up with some of the most interesting cars recently listed on BaT.

In this latest installment of our popular One-Year Garage game, Alex, Beck, and podcast newcomer Cameron reveal their favorite cars, trucks, and wild cards of 1997, but not before explaining to young Cam the horrors of the Star Wars prequels he grew up with. Also: Schumacher and Villeneuve; the WALKinshaw Porsche WSC-95 at Le Mans; all three are old enough to be irritated by the vagaries of Google AI; wishful thinking about the availability of a manual transmission in the US-model Volvo 850R; a burnout instead of friendly wave; and a wilder wild card than usual.

Producer's note: Our man Alex is still recovering from our recent gathering in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, and will be back to regularly scheduled programming next week. In the meantime, we've bookended the vintage races at Road America with local legends Peter Cunningham and, today, a revisitation of our entertaining 2024 interview with Shelby impresario and all-around rascal Colin Comer.

Randy and Alex sit down with Shelby expert, restorer, journalist, author, and frequent BaT seller Colin Comer. They talk about his first MGB GT leading into the world of "bargain" Ferraris and his ultimate pathway to Shelby collection and expertise; a (literal) run-in with the law as a teenager in a rusty GTV; his hot take on the Cobra Daytona Coupe versus the plain-Jane roadster; sharing a Lister Knobbly with Sam Smith for a thousand miles; telling Keith Martin to stick to sports cars; the pitfalls and history-preserving rewards of being talked into book authorship while driving a 427 Cobra in the snow; buying "plenty" of Bugeye Sprites on the advice of Peter Egan; and important things scrawled on bathroom walls.

BaT is headed to Road America next week for our return to the WeatherTech Vintage Weekend with Brian Redman (sign up to come if you haven't already)! So we're revisiting our remastered 2021 discussion with BaT user Pedro, otherwise known as Peter Cunningham – he of an illustrious racing career in all manner of Hondas with the team he founded in 1987, RealTime Racing. Randy and Howard discuss his years of competition success before moving on to one of the most important Honda collections on earth, his RealTime Collection Hall. So much has happened for the race team in the four years since we recorded this episode, and we look forward to catching up with Peter and friends at his home track in a week's time!

Alex and Randy review our recent blockbuster meet-up at the Portland, Oregon facility of Matt Crandall's Avant-Garde Collection, known as BaT seller and Local Partner 911r on BaT. The move on to discuss Matt's club racing career, exciting news in upcoming vintage races, interesting cars in the 911r pipeline, the team and effort it takes to operate at the highest levels as a top BaT seller, the beauty of the Local Partner model for those with more cars to sell than time to sell them, the Nailhead-powered '32 Ford coupe of Alex's dreams, unfortunate grounds for a fire extinguisher review, vintage NASCAR for the hobby racer, and the price of (however briefly) feeling like a man.
