BaT in Europe, 10 Years of Auctions, Upcoming Events

Alex and Randy talk in depth about BaT's experience at our first European event, the Historic Grand Prix held at the world-famous Zandvoort F1 track; Dutch tow vehicles; historic racers vs. "historic" racers; the right-sized '64 Falcon in Europe; our excitement to roll out more Local Partners in the EU; reflecting on 10 years of BaT Auctions this month; a call for current information about Lot #1, Randy's old Boss 302; a mild dig at a certain brick-and-mortar auction house; BaT's long and varied history at Laguna Seca during Car Week; the upcoming BaT Alumni Gatherings at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix on August 3 and the Monterey Historics on August 17; recent listings that have caught our eye; the modern practice of thumbing through a printed parts catalog on the way from the mailbox to the recycling bin; and, not unrelated, unsolicited thoughts on Summit Racing. Sign up to attend the upcoming PVGP Alumni Gathering on August 3 and the Monterey Alumni Gathering at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on August 17!
