From the moment he saw midget racers in Pasadena as a kid in the late 1940s, Jim Busby was hooked on cars. 

He became a hot rodder, a mechanic, a drag racer, and by the 1970s he was behind the wheel of Lolas and Porsches on road circuits in the US and Europe. 

Jim made his mark at places like Lime Rock, Sebring, Daytona, Monza, the Nurburgring, and of course, Le Mans.

He also had many successful years building engines and cars and managing his own racing team, culminating with the mighty Porsche 962. 

In this wide ranging conversation, Jim Busby reflects on his fifty year career in motorsport, recalling the machines, friends and rivalries that shaped his life in motorsport.
