Since he bought another race car in 2018 liarboy Baker has insisted the Honda engine that came with it was not an advantage on the track. Here is what he stated at the time, see the 3rd entry in the conversation:

"I've known I wanted a Honda-engined
Formula F since I started having to keep a Kent in tune. For a club
racer, the convenience of an engine with electronic ignition (no
ignition timing to adjust), electronic fuel injection (no carburetor
jetting to change with changing conditions) and an alternator to keep
the battery charged (no need to charge the battery like the total loss
Kent-engined cars) is worth a lot. Not to mention that an engine running
with a restrictor and therefore operating at less than the stresses it
was designed for."

So he states that the Honda, with its restrictor plate and modern fuel injected and engine control unit that tunes the engine all by itself is not an advantage?

How many drivers have the resources or skills to tune a Ford Kent engine's timing and carb jets for every race to bring out its full power potential? Also, over the long term Alan admits that the Kent is stressed by having to produce more power than it was designed for. How does that affect power over a season of racing? Can't be good.

Anyway, despite the new car with what Alan admits is a better engine that he says he wanted has over the last few years almost entirely dropped out of Formula F racing at his home track. Last year he showed up only for the 4th race, had a bit of an accident, and never returned.

Now we come to the 2015 season that starts next month. Will liarboy show up or not? You too can find out at https://www.sccbc.net/racers/ results/

I'll certainly be tuning in come April 26! Join me and watch the mayhem.

 Lying ass:
 I never once said there weren't advantages to choosing a Honda over a Kent. In fact, I explained all of that to you when you didn't understand it.
 What YOU claimed was that the Honda was FASTER ON THE TRACK, and that part is what is bullshit.
 Do you need me to go through all the quotes...
 ...again?

It's faster on the track because the Kents are not always in top tune while the Honda takes almost no maintenance. That is implied by what you said. You bought it hoping to win more races. Admit that please.
