The Hitman is geared up for his 2nd year!

Rick Baker, aka as “The Hitman” of Ridgeway, Ontario is the driver of the super late model #78. He will be wheeling a Rayburn chassis this year and it is co-owned with Bruce Thompson of Welland, Ontario. Rick has raced for over 20 years in various divisions, including Asphalt Modified, Dirt Pro Stock and BRP CanAm 360 Late Models. This will be his 2nd year with this co-owned team in an ODLM Late Model.

The chassis has been completely reworked, sandblasted and powder coated with all new sheet metal, nosepiece, and trim. All lettering and designs were created by Primal Graphics of Ridgeway, Ontario. The 406 engine went back to Performance Engines of Jennison, Michigan and has been completely reworked and dynoed for the coming season.

            Gary Smith Racing Parts of Corfu, New York has provided many new parts and the car should be very fast and competitive on opening day. Castle Products and Pennzoil also provide sponsorship for the team.

Rick is looking forward to competing against a strong field of drivers in the upcoming ODLM Series, and he hopes to improve on his 6th place points standing in 2009.
