Stanton,In llhlcagoTlraos-Heral J, AN AVERAGE MAN, OTTER wai in love with tho pretty girl who waa stay- iag tvitb Mrs. Cbaso on Miactts street, and. he hariily knew what to do about it He thought that this was bis first at¬ tack. Indeed, be felt sure it was. He reasoned to himself tbat the others could huvo been nothing bnt fanciei!, becnuso bo bad uot been so anxioasly careful to conserve his attitude toward them. He had not lain awake at iiigbt won¬ dering bow be conld pay thorn atton- tions which tbey ironid accept as lead¬ ing np to Horioas things, without at¬ tracting tbe notice of his sister-in-law, nnd inviting tbo oousequent ruiu of bis hopes. Cotter conld not tell what tactics bis sister-in-law employed to keep hAa (till a widower, bnt bo knew tbey wero efficacious. Sbti never said aoythiog to him ; she employed herself entirely with the 'l>arty of the second part. Any number of times in tbe years sinco he began tn "tako notice," be had seen girls whom be bad fonnd charming, and who had displa^i^ jujt that piquant spice of consciousness, when in his vicinitr, which can sometimes add twenty per cent, to tha value of a protty face. One at a time had fliled him with an emo¬ tion wbiob he called interest. One ISk ^^Igbl o^ sn interview with his ¦ister-in-law. And now that bo was as be told himself—honestly in love at last, he lay airakc nights thinking of ways in which he could lead up to a declaration and yot leove Mrs. Shears in ignorance. If any man bas tried to keep a te- cret In a town of ten tho-jEand inhalii. taoto, be knows huw hopeless a task Cotter had before him. It may sound strsnge to say that Cotter bad never been in love beforo, although he hal had a wife; bnt it only aouoda so because it is an uncon¬ ventional thing to put on paper. He had married at twenty-three—or, inore properly npoukingjhsd been mar¬ ried, being passive in the matter. He had been a lanky, rather thy young man who had never had a bomo in hia life, and who know nothing of the ways of women. Ho was a serious fellow, to whom vulgar dissipa¬ tion meant nothing as a lemptation, and wbo lacked the vanity to read the innocent adranoea of young girl& So nntil be met Mias Clinch be had hardly known a woman. Sho was thirty, small, compact, with curls, sympathy, a lisp, nnd arched eyebrows that gavo ber au expresaion ot childish wonder. She treated Cotter as thongh he were bead and shoulders above any otber man; and tbe sensation being new tu his simple heart, he drank it in like a ¦ponge. Miss Clinch, under ber semblance ot youth, was wearily reminding h«r- •elf that it was "now or never." Her ohsrms hid never beeu thoso that ap¬ pealed to maturity. Men like young girl*, bnt they like them in a nntnr.il atots of bud, giving promise of Inxnri- ant bloom; uot as stunted little roses. At thirty, witb Miss Clinch, it was a boy or nobody, and Cott.'r was at hcr band. Heaven knows, his conquest wa* easy! Hhe marrie.! him in less than six mouths; befura another yoar ¦be was dea.l, having dune Cotter uo partioalar bkrm, and leaving a uot na- pleaaant fading memory behin 1 her. It ia a wi.'o provision ol nature which makes so many inoii tbo vie- tims uf a youthful passiou fur a wu' roan older than themselves, tihe edn- eatea tbem, keeps them free from en- Unglementr, and lets them goi with open eyes aud their rye teeth rnt en¬ tirely throuijb ; Lot iu the freemasonry ot femininity the older woman wbo uarriatt tba boy is a traitor nud a "oal," and when the ioovitablo ar¬ rives, and tbe boy, grown a man, re- alixes that he ha* been tricked out uf the prize of life, she geto tbe scorn instead ot the sympathy of ber sex. No warning in the IIoo'k ul I^roverbs is bad enough to fit her fate. Uut bappil.T Mrs. Cotter died, Icaviok— lea* fortnnately—tbe leRScy of a sis¬ ter-in-law to keep her memory greeu. Mr*. Shears, wbo had l.een the el.l- a mnrrie.l womairtilone, and tbat no married man shall call at all. When iu tbe course of human cveuts it bo cumes necessary for a citizen to ring a neighbor's door bell, tbe person who auswL'-s it stands in the door witb an inquiring air, waiting to bo told tho caller's bneiness. That it might \m social in character is out of tho ques¬ tion. So C.liter h.ill tu wait two or tbroe days before he eaw Luey Hitt. Mrs. Hitt wns a widow in tbo lant stages of munrnlug ; and if Cutter had called nt her home, every woman ou tbo block would bave pul on hcr bun- net and gene to tell her most distant kin the delicious piece of news. Cot¬ ter waa the hnnilsoinest and richest man in town, and bis lightest move was (ull uf meaning. In tho mean time, thfi pretty girl had been walking nml driving with every eligible in town. Tbe Clarksonville library was partly supported by charity. As there were not enough subscribers to keep it go¬ ing, the liitltos of tbe town took tnrns in acting as librarian, and fortunately Mrs. Hitt's day was uot long in coming. Cotter went up tbo rickety stairs which led to the abode of culture, witb a year's subscription iuhis hand, and sat dowu opposite Mrs. Hitt nt the green magazine table, where be could louk fnll inlo her (ace. it was a pret¬ ty, picasaut face to look iuto, witb little fluffy tendrils uf red gold hair pushed behind tbe email ears, snd a month which had no severity of linos. "What can I givo you?" sbe asked politely, wben she bal entered his name in tho book. "Will yon have 'Art in Laco Making,' or Lombroso's 'Female OfTender'? 'ibuse nre our new books. Bally IJico wanted to read oue, and Dr. Smitb tho otber, ns thoy are stockholders—" Sho waved hor hand expressively. "I don't wnnt anything to read. 1 want to know what Mrs. Shears says to a girl to make her give mo tho cold cut." Mrs. Hitt looked nt bim, hcr bine oyes growing wider, and a tinge of red stealing its way to tbo top uf ber rounded cheek, where two or three golden freckles lay, "Why do yuu oak me? How should I know?" " :!^=-r^' "Becan8e,"Cotter eaid boldly, "yon wero une of tbn girls. Wbcn yuu came hero viaiting Mrs. Ur. Smitb ou Bice ovennc, I—" "You? Yea?" Mrs, Hitt'a color deepened as be hesitated. Ho thought how pretty ahe was when sho bluabed. "Oh, well—you know. I spent nearly half my timo hanging nbout after yoo, until you gave me to under¬ stand that you liked Tom Hitt better." "And you think I preferred Tom because Mrs. Shears—" sho Degan in¬ dignantly. "No, I llo not. Now be reasonable. Out I do kuow that Mrs. Shears wont to aeo yon, and naked you to drive with her in that uld pumpkin phaeton of hers, nnd you never were the same afterward." "Why did yon thiuk it waa some¬ thing ahe said?" "It wasn't only yon, but—" "innumerablo others. Who wcro thoy? I should like to know who else listened to Mrs. Shears. It will tickle cried nnd eiplsioed that sbe couldn't i be happy, because, if her husband ' love.l her as much as ho said he did. he couldn't be sorry his flrst wifo died | and if he wasn't that made him too brutal fur her to love?" "Well?" "I'm nut a bit like tbat!" "Kuow this," Colter said solemnly ; "I never knew what love was nntil I knew yon; I never loved any woman but you." Lucy looked at him. As a sage long a-jo discovered, whatever a wo¬ man may donbt, that etatomont sbe al¬ ways believes. "Those others?" "Figments of my imagination." .She hold both his: hands, and looked into his face, with hers against bis coat. "I knew it," she wbisperod, "when you camo in ami asked that question. I think I olwnye knew that you would oome." Cutter was standing whero he eoul.l see ont of the window. The pumpkin phaeton was going by, with the pretty girlfr>m ttioetta street sitting by Mrs. Shears nnd looking rather un¬ happy. For tho thousandth part of a second Cotter had a sinking of the henrt. It was all up agaiu I Mrs. Sbenrs waa telling that girl that he kissed his wife's picture good night. He gave a "st" of indignant amuse¬ ment ; and thon ho remembered, and looked happily down into Lucy's fnce. —Munsey'a Magnzino. SeiE.>TIFIt' AM) I.M)USTRIAL. he Inughod rather luudly tu prove her words. "What was it?" "That was a luug timo ogo." "May^o it was," Cotter said; "bnt to look at you, it might have boon yesterday." Ho lookod at hcr ratbcr closely, as if to mako sure of his words. 'Ihe table was only two feet wide. She had been just eighteen wben she called dowu upon her head tbo contidenoea of Sboars, ond Cotter had not had a good look nt her since. It ia not cus¬ tomary for yonnf; mon to look very closely at married women in Clurksuu- ville ; and Tom Hitt bad been an iu- valid for n long time, nnd had kept hia wife with him. As Cotter looked at ber now he ro- memberod that sho had bcon the first. A little tingle ran along tho backs of bis bands as he let bia memory carry him back over those twelve yeara. His wife had been dead three years thon ; he boarded with Mrs. Shears, and Lnoy was actually the first young girl ho had over knuwn very well. A liew light came up from the coruors of bis black eyes, nud his voico grew conll- deutial. "Do yon remombor how 1 met yon? How that akittifh colt of tho doctor's bolted nt the engiue on the bridge? And you nearly sawod hia bead off—" "To keep him frum climbing iuto your buggy I Yei., und 1 remember how he pitched mo"—"intoyonr laji," Mrs. Hitt was about to say, but she thought better of it. "And yon took mo home," ahe went on Inmely. "I bought that colt," Ootter said. "Ho is out on the farm now." Xbero was silcnco fur a moment. Wagons Inmbered along Center street and storekeepers oalle.1 sociably from curb tuonrb. Cutter drummed on tbe table with bis lingers, and smilos tucked themselTcs under his mustache. "Do yuu remember the piojio at the island, wben wo rowed home in the moonlight, and—" "Our skiff stuck fast on a sand¬ bar-" ".'Vnd I bad to carry you ashore be¬ fore 1 could get it oil?" Mrs. Hitt laughed, but the white territory of her forehead took on the red, as (Jotter, still smiling, still look¬ ing straight into her eyes, with an ex- prensiou tbal mndo ber uneasy, went on, "I was choking over—tbe choks- ble words, when that akiff stuck. I suppose if I bad gotten them out, I shonl.t have Hxke.l you what Mrs. Shears paid—.mly I did not connoct her with it tben." .K look of .lisilain swtipt tbe blush out of Mrs. Hitt's face. "It took dozens of times beforo you awoke to ihat, I suppose?"

Your Question: Why are bird eggs so variable in their colours and patterns?
The colour and colour pattern of bird eggs vary enormously from species to species (and often between individuals of the same species, and sometimes between the eggs of the same mother).
A tray of eggs from Museum Victoria's H.L White egg collection, showing the diversity of patterns and colours for a single species, the Australian Magpie Gymnorhina tibicen. Image: Michelle McFarlaneSource: Museum Victoria
Eggs are made of calcium carbonate, which is white. White is therefore the default colour for bird eggs, but many birds lay coloured or colourfully-patterned eggs. Why?
The colouration of bird eggs can often be explained by the animal's biology and behaviour. The eggs of ground-nesting birds, for example, need to be well-camouflaged to avoid discovery by predators. They are usually coloured and patterned to match the substrate they are laid upon.

Tree-nesters, on the other hand, usually have blue or green eggs.
The American Robin, Turdus migratorius, which nests in trees, lays bright blue eggs.Image: LaslovargaSource: Wikimedia Commons
Birds whose eggs are hidden from view (in hollows, burrows or deep nests), or who sit on their eggs continuously throughout incubation, tend to have white eggs.
The now extinct Paradise Parrot Psephotus pulcherrimus, which laid its eggs in termite mounds, had white, unpatterned eggs. Image: Rodney StartSource: Museum Victoria
The patterns on eggs have developed over eons via natural selection – the better the camouflage, the more likely the eggs are to survive and pass on the genes for well-camouflaged eggs to the next generation. Ornithologists have classified egg patterns and given each "style" a name in order to distinguish them: splashed, blotched, spotted, dotted, marbled, streaked, scrawled, overlaid, capped, and wreathed.

Colour also provides another form of protection: it is thought to act as a sunscreen, protecting the developing foetus from UV light. The addition of colour also strengthens the eggshell. Birds that are calcium-deficient lay thin-shelled eggs, which are more likely to break. Scientists have found that birds that have multiple clutches in a single season have more highly-coloured eggs in the second and subsequent clutches (when the mother's calcium supplies are reduced). Patterned colouration is also more common in areas with calcium-deficient soils.
The specific colours are incorporated into the shell in the final stage of egg development. Blue and green colour comes from a pigment called biliverdin (which is the same pigment that causes green bruises in humans). In egg colouration, biliverdin comes from bile; the red and brown colour on eggs comes from protoporphyrins, which comes from blood.

Australia's native birds are protected. It is illegal to collect eggs or to interfere with birds' nests without a permit. Details of regulations and permits can be obtained from the Department of Sustainability and Environment.

This is not true. Many of the apps are designed to be great on desktop PCs (as well as mobile ones). I use the Music and Videos apps all the time on my desktop at home (and Music pretty regularly at work). I also use Mail, my own Foursquare app, Messaging (mostly when people FB message me), Modern Reader, and that's not counting the ones I use mostly for the tiles (Weather, Calendar, etc)
The apps you list are some of the worst examples of Metro apps. If I want to play an MP3 the last thing I want is for the Music app to take over the entire screen for what is essentially a background process - I then either have to snap it to the side or task-switch out of it. It's the same when playing back videos - on the desktop I can choose whether VLC starts fullscreen or in a window according to preference; with Videos it runs fullscreen or can be switched to a useless side-snap mode. Mail wastes screen space to an absurd degree, especially when my desktop monitor is 2560x1600. Even Solitaire - which is a well designed app - is hugely constrained by the Metro design model, meaning you can't have it open alongside a file transfer or a browser window.
Microsoft should have allowed Metro apps to exist within the desktop environment - that is allow them to scale and feature the traditional window chrome. Then users would have had a choice at how they use apps. Instead Microsoft decided to dictate to users what they can and can't do and it's frankly insulting to anyone familiar with the Windows platform. Windows 8 is a great operating system on the desktop but the integration with Metro is shocking, without even going into the anti-competitive nature of preventing Metro apps from being distributed via other stores. I'm torn on the start screen, as it offers a lot of very worthwhile improvements (utilising the entire screen; easier arrangement of apps; greater visual customisation; live tiles) but still comes across as somewhat clunky when used with mouse and keyboard (I've been using it for over 6 months as my exclusive operating system).
Windows 8 might be great on tablets but Metro apps just don't work well with a desktop computer, especially not with high resolution displays. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a tablet interface but I would say that it's a bad interface for keyboard and mouse. Oh, and the charm bar is terrible.

It was black, fast, and one of the first '06 export Z06s built and shipped overseas. VIN 84 was delivered to Corvette Europe during the summer of 2005, whereupon GM's product-development team and Cadillac/Corvette Europe tested the car extensively. The purpose of the tests was to give GM USA feedback on the Z06's performance in a European setting. The black Z06 was thrashed over the continent's toughest roads for 5,000 miles and even evaluated at famous racing circuits such as the Nrburgring.
When testing was completed, Koos Pettinga, Corvette Europe's manager of Corvette Events, decided the Z06 should start a new life. Why? The Fdration Internationale de l'Automobile, or FIA, had just announced a new five-race series for the '06 season. Called the GT3 European Championship, the series was designed to allow nonprofessional, "gentleman" race drivers to compete in the world's top supercars.
The Z06 was sent to the newly established Team Carsport Europe, owned by Dutchman Toine Hezemans. Hezemans also owns Team Carsport Holland, which currently races the ex-Pratt & Miller No. 11 C5-R. Based on their racetrack-test results, Team Carsport officials believed the Z06 would be competitive in the new GT3 series.
Hezemans next enlisted Callaway Competition, in Leingarten, Germany, to convert the black beauty into a GT3 prototype race car. A racer at heart, Callaway Competition Director Ernst Woehr jumped at the chance to work on the new Z06. Woehr and his partner, Giovanni Ciccone, were already somewhat familiar with the car, as Callaway's U.S. arm had recently performed engine, exhaust, and air-intake tests on a customer's vehicle. This provided Woehr and Ciccone with some baseline performance information they could apply to the race car.
Unfortunately, the FIA decided to hold the GT3 press conference during the 2005 GT1 awards banquet, scheduled for December 2 at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo. Teams interested in competing in the GT3 class were encouraged to display their cars in front of the hotel on press day. The FIA was also holding a test session the next day at the Circuit Paul Ricard to determine each car's performance potential. Because the black Z06 wasn't delivered to Callaway Competition until October 26, the firm had only five weeks to transform the street car into a track-ready racer.
Team Carsport assigned its C5-R team engineer Mike Gramke to work with Callaway Competition until the car was completed. The Callaway Competition crew invited Team VETTE to visit their shop during the last days of the construction and attend the Monte Carlo press conference. A small team of six people completed their work on the body and chassis on December 1, just one day before the car's scheduled debut. Work on the engine and wiring system was not finished by the vendor in England, however, so a non-running spare engine was installed for the Monte Carlo display.
Even without its race-prepped engine, the car was stunning. Most notable were a bright-yellow paint scheme and a graphics package that included the car's new name: "Z06-R GT3." As the car was rolled out of the shop for a late-afternoon photo shoot, a small crowd gathered to drool over the transformed Z06. After our photo shoot the car was shipped to Monte Carlo for the press event. (We'll bring you more details on the Z06-R's construction in a future issue.)

Part 2: Manufacturers L-Z
Last Month, we brought you the first part of our official guide to Corvette cold-air intake (CAI) kits. In this issue, we're back with even more bolt-on induction systems that promise to boost the output of your Vette's engine without blowing a hole in your budget.
Because choosing a CAI is based upon a number of variables-such as engine type, current level of modification, planned mods, and appearance-we didn't favor one of these systems over the others. Instead, we listed them all and allowed each manufacturer to state its case. All that's left is for you to decide is which one is right for your Corvette.
Lingenfelter Performance Engineering
(260) 724-2552
Brief Description: Our high-flow air intake system for C5 and C6 Corvettes features an inlet air filter that provides reduced inlet restriction, compared with stock and competitive units. This reduction is achieved by utilizing more filter surface area than any of the other leading air-intake systems and by using a radiused inlet entry built into the outlet of the filter itself. Our system is also designed to provide lower-temperature air from outside the engine compartment to produce optimal performance and consistency. The high-flow air intake maintains a high-quality factory appearance and includes a washable air-filter assembly, filter housing, fasteners, and detailed installation instructions. Systems are available for LS1, LS6, LS2, and LS7-equipped Corvettes.
Trademark Features: Flow-bench, engine-dynamometer, and chassis-dynamometer designed and tested; chassis-dynamometer-proven horsepower gains; same air-intake systems used on Lingenfelter engine-package-equipped vehicles; true cold-air design picks up air from outside the engine compartment; high-quality factory appearance.
Quote from Company: "High-performance air-intake systems designed to provide increased power, from the name in Corvette performance products-Lingenfelter Performance Engineering."
Mid America Motorworks
(800) 500-1500
Brief Description: We use only the finest materials and workmanship in manufacturing our cold-air induction systems for C5 and C6 Corvettes. Our intake systems utilize low-restriction, reusable air filters and polished-aluminum, Y-tube, dual-cone systems to streamline the air directly to where it's needed. Our C6 system also comes with a larger-than-stock true-carbon-fiber air bridge to allow even more cold air into the engine, resulting in more power.
Trademark Features: We at Mid America Motorworks stand behind our products 100 percent, so our customers can purchase from us with confidence. They have the confidence they're getting a great product at a good price from a company with 35 years of experience-and the finest people in the Corvette aftermarket looking out for them.
Quote from Company: "When we install cold-air intakes on our own Corvettes, we use our own products, because they're easy to install, they require no modifications, and, best of all, they produce power."

Rediscover Netball with Freya Active 0
Recently I discovered a load of old workbooks from junior school when having a clear out – it's so funny to read who I was at the ages of 4 – 7! Let's just say I had quite an imagination! Thinking back evoked memories of what I used to love doing as a kid, such as playing the piano, dancing and playing netball after school with my pals. Funny how I had completely lost my passion for those things in my grumpy teenage years, but in my 30s, I am re-discovering my love for hobbies I had as a child (or maybe I just never grew up!)
The trip down my memory lane of hobbies-gone-by led me to interview Joanna Blain who is the Founder of Play Simple Netball, a social netball league with nearly 100 teams playing in leagues across Manchester and Liverpool. I wanted to see if netball is still a hobby I could take up now, at the age of (nearly, not yet!) 32, and with Freya as the official partner to the England Team, it seemed like the obvious thing to do, as I need lots of excuses to buy Freya Active Wear!

Figure of Monkey Seated on Ovoid Base
Throughout Egyptian history, monkeys were enjoyed for their playful, whimsical behavior. This blue faience example holds a ball or piece of fruit; in antiquity, it wore a metal earring, indicating that it represented a household pet. Because they had to be imported over great distances at considerable expense, the possession of monkeys indicated the owner's wealth and social status.

I've never heard of it working like that back when they had to manually connect each call maybe but not today.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 22:01
Its worked like that for years in the UK
In fact not that long ago there was a scam where the scammers would call house lines and claim to be debt recovery department of BT, they were telling the customer that they owed £X amount to BT and if they didn't pay via card over the phone to them right there and then, that they would cut them off
They continued by saying if you need proof, hang up, wait 5 seconds, then try to make a call, you will be disconnected
So some people were hanging up, then lifting the receiver and hearing no dial tone, hanging up again and waiting for the scammers to call back
All they were doing was hitting 'Mute' when they heard the customer hang up, the customer obviously can't make a call as they are still connected to the scammer, and they can't hear the scammers end of the call because they have it muted
So some people waited for the call back and gave their card details to some guys in a flat scamming thousands of people out of their money
Try it, call someone, tell them to hang up and then pick back up, you`ll still be connected (Only works on landlines)
I used it about 15 years ago to seek revenge on a cheating girlfriend, she had given me her charge card number so I could call her house free, when I found out she cheated I walked to a pay phone in the middle of nowhere, called her with that card number then left the phone on top of the box
Posted 11 January 2013 - 22:18
Ok 15 years ago maybe cause the system was pretty old and broken then but im sure those scammmers could have been using something to keep the connection alive.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 22:48
^ Er, I disconnect when I hit End on my cell phone, and also if I use a wireless home phone.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 00:01
The question is how is this able to be done? When I hang up I expect that the call is ended regardless of whether or not I was the one who called. This is the first I've experienced something like this and it's quite annoying,

When I catch up with Kim Baker, he's relaxing at his Massachusetts home after a busy race weekend in California with his corporate client, Panasonic. Baker's home is truly his castle, one he took time off from racing to build. Since then, he has returned full force to the business of motorsports.
We sit down to talk about his incredible career in the art gallery, which showcases Baker's success story with photos of multiple visits to Victory Lane, feature articles from virtually every national racing magazine, and ads prominently displaying his winning Corvettes and stock cars. Baker has not changed much from his earlier photos. Indeed, he informs me that he's ready to jump into a race car at a moment's notice-and he often does so to instruct other drivers. He credits his youthful appearance to a strict workout-and-diet regimen and his unrelenting passion for speed.
Getting On Track
Kim Baker and his Bakeracing team are legendary names in the arena of production-based racing. In 1984, after numerous successes with other makes, Baker took a GT Class SCCA national championship in a showroom-stock Corvette. His legendary attention to detail is what made him a winner, and it made his cars winners, too. Baker made victory look easy, capturing numerous championships as a driver, a team owner, and a representative for tire and auto manufacturers.
During that time, Baker was a key player in helping Corvette sweep the SCCA-sanctioned endurance races. "The Corvette was a strong and reliable car," says Baker, whose team went on to win championships in the Escort Endurance Series. "The Porsches were just as fast as us, but they couldn't beat us on durability or, ultimately, to the finish line." The Corvettes, however, were found to be too good. The SCCA disallowed them from the series, leading Chevrolet to create its own competition-the Corvette Challenge-in 1988.
Baker remembers the 1985 season, one in which his team won the Lime Rock and Mid-Ohio 24-hour races, as a special one. Both races took place in September and carried the largest money prize ever offered in sports-car road racing. Goodyear paid the winning team a $50,000 bonus for each race. Asked about his favorite years in Corvette racing, Baker answers, "That would have to be '86 and '87, because that was the greatest battle between car manufacturers and tire manufacturers. In '86, on our way to the championship, we won four out of the six races, including the 24-hour races at Mosport and Mid-Ohio. In '87, on the way to that championship, we won five out of seven races, again including Mosport and Mid-Ohio. During those two seasons, Bakeracing won nine out of 13 races, beating out Porsche and winning the manufacturer's championship for Chevrolet. [We also won] the tire manufacturer's championship over three other tire manufacturers."
Behind The Scenes
Baker's commitment to excellence and his expertise with engines drove thousands of customers to the doors of his Wilbraham, Massachusetts, automotive shop. An article on Baker in the Nov. '85, issue of Road & Track stated, "Ask any of his Corvette competitors who builds the best engines in the Endurance series, and the answer is always the same: Kim Baker." It was customary at Bakeracing, which evolved from a foreign-car repair service into a state-of-the-art Corvette performance shop, to have a three-month waiting list.
Another testament to Kim Baker's expertise with engines is that he was one of the very few outside specialists called upon to aid in the development and testing of the ZR-1's LT5 powerplant. As far back as 1987, Baker was involved in the program, putting ZR-1 prototypes through high-speed testing at superspeedways such as Talladega, Riverside Raceway, and Mosport near Toronto, Ontario.
"We did approximately 350,000 street miles and 10,000 miles under race conditions during our work on the LT5," Baker says. "As a result of that testing, we gained incredible knowledge about the ZR-1 motor and vehicle." The crowning achievement for Baker was gaining a spot on the Morrison racing team that set new land-speed and endurance world records at Fort Stockton, Texas, in the ZR-1 he had helped to develop. Through his involvement with "The King of the Hill," Baker, too, became a legend. In 1991 he was named "One of the 10 Most Influential Men of Corvette" by Road & Track.
Having conquered virtually every level of sports-car racing, Baker took on a new challenge in 1994. He decided to build an Unlimited Class Corvette and attempt to break the 200 mph barrier on a closed course in Nevada. Baker tore down and completely rebuilt a ZR-1 for the BluBlocker 100 event. "We took it down to the last nut and bolt and used the shell. We made lots of safety changes, and we put in a new powerplant, of course," he says. "We took it out there with zero miles on it, practiced for 10 miles, and then went out for the race-and it ran flawlessly."
