Recently I had the opportunity to not only meet Roger Judski again but also got a chance to get up close and personal with a race car from a series I had just done a feature on. Not too long ago while browsing my favorite Corvette forum, I was reminded by a fellow enthusiast of the moment the Corvette got so good they were kicked out of the SCCA racing series for trouncing the Porsche 944s. The powers to be said fine and just formed their own series. It was so compelling I did a story on it here.
I hadn’t seen Roger in well over a decade, and it wasn’t too long after greeting him at his favorite perch near his collection that I noticed the car. I excitingly thought that’s a C4 from the series I did the feature on, in the flesh! Silly me for forgetting it was one of Roger’s coveted pieces. As we approached the infamous racer, the first thing Roger wanted to point out was that it was in the exact “race-ready” condition as when it came off the track, without so much as a wash. And it has been untouched since he acquired her in 1991, with just 3,606 “Sunday-driven” miles.
