A Few Words from RRDC Member John Dinkel
The 2025 Corvette Hall of Fame class includes: Kim Baker, Chuck Jordan and the husband and wife team of Jim and Charley Robertson.
I have not had the honor of knowing Jim or Charley Robertson, but a quick read of their bio makes it obvious they define the words “Corvette enthusiasts”.
Chuck Jordan was an industry friend whose design work included “the creation of several concept cars that had a significant impact on the Corvette’s evolution, including the Corvette Indy, the CERV III, and the Stingray III.
“Jordan also influenced the styling of the C2, C3, and C4 production Corvettes and was a vocal advocate for preserving the Corvette program during the development of the C5.”
Sadly, Chuck passed away in 2010.
As for Mr. Baker . . .
Kim is a member of the RRDC. He I raced together in his dominating Corvettes and he is more than worthy of this Corvette Hall of Fame honor. But I would argue with the Corvette Hall of Fame’s comment that Kim’s “ . . . SCCA career took off in 1984, shortly after he started racing his new C4 Corvette.”
I would humbly submit that Kim’s career took off AFTER he nd his Fiat X1/9 won the Road & Track Manufacturers Challenge Cup multiple times, along with several Rolexes! LOL.
R&T also voted Kim “One of Ten Most Influential Men in Corvette History.”
And for the sake of accuracy, it was always pronounced Baker Racing, but the correct spelling is either Bakeracing or BAKERACING.
