[PODCAST] C4 Corvette Racing Legend Kim Baker is on the Corvette Today Podcast


When the C4 Corvette came out in 1984, enthusiasts immediately started racing the new car in SCCA. Within a few years, those C4 Corvettes dominated the competition so hard that the SCCA moved them to their own class and the Corvette Challenge race series was born. One of those drivers who thrived was Kim Baker of Bakeracing and his Yellow No. 4 Corvette. This week, Kim takes the guest chair with your host Steve Garrett on the CORVETTE TODAY Podcast.

The name, Kim Baker, is not necessarily synonymous with Corvette Racing-he didn’t race for the Corvette Team. What Kim Baker did do is dominate the GT Class SCCA National Championships and Endurance Races in a showroom-stock C4 Corvette!

As a matter of fact, Baker and his Corvette were so dominating that the SCCA disallowed them to race in the series, prompting Chevrolet to create it’s own Corvette-only race series called The Corvette Challenge Series!

Bakeracing dominated in its day. Kim joins your CORVETTE TODAY host, Steve Garrett, to talk about his life, his racing and what he’s doing today. Corvette Racing fans, don’t miss this episode! It’s a different Corvette Racing, SCCA style on CORVETTE TODAY.
