Those T70s are just beautiful cars. And it's good to hear Kim Baker's name again.

The T-70 is my absolute favorite CanAm type car. It's no wonder that he blew them all away driving that piece of history.

He was my first HPDE instructor - a very nice, humble guy.
I can't wait for him to lower the door on the trailer to see what new & interesting car he is running.

I was associated with Pearson Racing back in the day. We ran Nissan 200SX in the Escort series. Kim gave me several of these Tee shirts after the (I think) 1985 Mid Ohio event. I still have some unworn.........you know, for future events, when I get old, and might need them
