Because (as I've explained before) time and money spent maintaining a Formula F Kent in top shape can be spent on more profitable things.

...but you just went with, "must have cheated".
It was a passing infraction, I looked it up. That is cheating. You said he "won the 2024 SCCA National Runoffs in Formula F" the when confronted with the truth changed it to "could have won", Liarboy. So typical of you.
Your implication was clearly that the only reason he could have been leading the race was that he cheated. The SCCA ruled that he moved to aggressively to defend his position, and having seen the video, that's certainly true. But your claim has always been that the Ford can't be competitive with the Honda and there's no way that can be true if a Ford can be in the lead on the last lap of the race.
And never said "could have won" anywhere, Liarboy.
