Liarchild Baker, pleading something out of his control for no doubt, failed to enter the first SCCBC FF weekend event this past week. Apparently his #21 is sitting idle, for the most part for years now, tires rotting out and otherwise rusting away. In the mean time some new drivers are showing up and running fast times.

Alan's window for ever winning a FF season trophy is closing fast. He has not been competitive for a long, long, time. That despite his claim to have run a few fast laps in the past.

LOL!

With every post about this, all you demonstrate is your own ignorance.

Can you get your pilot's license without a medical, Liarboy?

So, yes: I didn't enter a race that I couldn't attend, because I couldn't get a medical, and thus couldn't get my license.

But I'm still teaching racing to new students, and despite your claims of "a long, long, time", I've been competitive every time I've been out.

Quote from my post "pleading something out of his control". That could be passing a medical exam. You simply proved you are too ignorant to read plain English.

he term "competitive" includes showing up and running a race. The last time you did even that on a regular base was 5 or 6 years ago. Last year you ran in one race, had a wreck, and did not show up again.

You shouldn't post after you've had too much to drink, Liarboy.

Unable to deny facts, you default to deflection again.

You were hardly competitive in the one race you entered last year. There are no results to prove that at all.

Are you kidding?

First, I entered TWO races last year, which you knew.

So you now claiming I only entered one would be a lie, wouldn't it?

I amend my comment, I should have said you only ran on 1 weekend (September) and in only 1 race that weekend. That's from the club championship page at:

And you're still wrong.

I suppose it is possible that you entered other weekends and then canceled. That would not be on the cited record, would it?

The substance of the comment is unchanged. You have not competed on a regular basis in years.

I TOLD you about the other race weekend I participated in last year, Asshole.

But it was not a SBBC points race. And as I recall you took the restrictor plate out to increase power of your already incredible detuned Honda engine. Fail.

I took the restrictor out because I was bored with beating the available FF competition and wanted to see if I could play with the faster classes.

And regardless of whether or not it was an SCCBC points race, I did compete in it...

...I still told you about it...

...asshole.

One race completed since 10/9/2022? That's it?

Too embarrassed to admit the truth? Your racing days are over and not even 65 yet? Poor health and/or finances? Or just lost interest? Come on Alan, be honest for a change. CSMA wants to know the truth.

Once again, besides Alan, the only person who seems to care about it is a luzer stalker located 2,350 miles away who's never tracked an open wheel car.

 And remember that this all stems from me having the temerity to point out that wheel-to-wheel road racing requires more continuous focus than pleasure flying.
 I can tell you one thing:
 As a racing driver, I never have time during a race to just look at the sights.

And you have no idea what it takes to fly an airplane by yourself in marginal weather while monitoring aircraft systems, always alert for an ATC call, worried about weather, fuel state, thinking about a plan B and C in case things go south. Granted, good weather flying is less intense. Like the 12 hours I flew just this week, well most of that. On one flight I went VFR on top and had to use Plan B to get down. On another I saw rainbow!
