The only “something else” that you’ve raised previously is your unsupportable
claim that Alan is a lousy driver. So, what’s the goalpost move this time?
That he’s a rapist pillager oanist who could get everywhere except to the
track because of 14 DWI’s, including one while driving Trudeau? /s

He's already been accused of all that and more by others. With no foundation or facts cited. No goalpost move on my part. Just asking questions based on items that Alan has posted.

No, that is more dodging on your part. Just what on his open wheel racing has
not been already adequately addressed to your personal satisfaction?

All other topics are goalpost move attempts. Put up or retract your claim.

This represents the liar so very well.

Since all he does is lie and tell half-truths, he assumes others do the
same.

The real reasons are very simple:

I went into 2020 hoping to have a full season of racing, and I had set
tires from the previous year that weren't used up.

Then we had a pandemic and only held 3 events at the end of 2020, so I
still had tires to "spare".

In 2021, our race season didn't begin until June 12, which was just two
days after my younger brother died due to metastasized pancreatic
cancer. With all that was going on then and in the months that followed
(including the third race weekend of the season falling on what would
have been his 57th birthday), I only raced the very last weekend of the
year. I bought no tires that year.

Then for 2022, new American Racer tires became unavailable due to a fire
they suffered at one of their plants. They opted not to make their tires
for FF in favour of other racing tires which were purchased in greater
quantities.

In reaction to this, the FF drivers of Mission decided that we couldn't
decide on a new spec tire rule to use until the situation with American
Racer tires was resolved one way or the other (i.e. would AR be putting
them back into production or dropping them), so we agreed that everyone
could choose any tires to run as suited them best. I decided that I
would simply take the opportunity to use up my oldest tires as I had
some (quite justified by experience) confidence that I could still win
even on older rubber.

2022 started off with more race weekends missed as I made my priority
supporting my sister-in-law and niece over my hobby.

So when I started racing this year, the first set of tires I used were
purchased in 2019 and the second set were purchased in 2020.

So I actually inadvertently downplayed the situation.

Yes: I lost to Erle Archer who was racing on Hoosier Club Ford tires
(the consensus being that they were probably about 2 seconds a lap
faster than American Racers, all else being equal). But I was on tires
that were by then fully three years old. And I only lost by a whisker in
the final race.

Once I put on tires that were only 2 years old for the next weekend
(August 26-27), I was once again capable of running far more
representative lap times and won race 2 of that weekend against Robert
Fraser, in a modern FF (1991 Citation) and a fresh engine on new Hoosier
Club Ford tires.

I'm looking forward to a very good year for our class as my life starts
to level out with regard to supporting my family and people we haven't
seen for a while start to come out again.

We've put in place a rule that will put us all back on a level playing
field for tires: American Racers if they are available again, Hoosier CF
tires if the ARs aren't available, then Hoosier Vintage (treaded) FF
tires as a tire of last resort.

There's a broad consensus that the American Racers not only allow us to
race at minimal cost, but they make any lap times we set more comparable
to historical lap times. Not to put too fine a point on it, if I were to
go out on Hoosier CF tires and set a new lap record, I wouldn't really
feel it was fair.

:-)

Nothing? From your LinkedIn page:

Group Information Technology Manager
Digital Financial · Full-time
Feb 2018 - Present · 4 yrs 11 mos

Is this a lie? If not, and you are a full-time employee now, have been with the company since 2018, it follows that you have less time to spend on bakerMEDIA projects. Why? was bakerMEDIA not supplying you with enough money to live on? If not, why not? This is not a stretch. If bakerMEDIA is a successful company you have no need for a full-time job.

Are your tires statements above lies? If not, you made the choice to race on knowingly slower tires? Why? Financial considerations play a role? See how it all fits together?

I have a challenge for you. A person's credit rating says a lot about that person. Financial responsibility over time can be an indication of a lot more than income and wealth. Items like honoring responsibilities, paying debts on time, how you treat your financial obligations, and how honest in general and with those you do business with.

Let's ramp this up and share credit ratings!

I'll go first. On a scale of 0-850 Transunion currently gives me an 819. It could be higher if I had any installment debt but I don't, just revolving credit card accounts. I'll post a screen-shot from my bank if you need proof.
My Visa account shows a FICO score of 826 out of 850. Screen-shot is available too. If you choose to participate I expect screen-shots in return.

I'm pretty sure you will decline, deflect the argument, and call me a lying little shit.

Your turn!

LOL!

When did Alan previously post his LinkedIn information here? Got cite?

Not really, because credit ratings are, by their function, limited to finances.

So what? Because that's today in your mid/late 70s: what were your ratings
like back when you were in your 50s?

Perhaps for you, but invariably, there's folks without installment debts with
even higher ratings. By your own choice of measuring stick, you're not a winner.

Credit ratings show far more than financial standing. They indirectly reflect a person's general behavior and level of responsibility.

Since you have shown that you have no compunctions about spreading
people's personal information, is it really any surprise that I don't
care to give you any more.

All that's been confirmed, you Lying Little Shit, is that you'll make up

Like your "It's not sufficient. There is something else." about my
choice of tires.

There isn't anything more there.

The situation is exactly as I outlined.

I don't even remember what I was searching for, but stumbled on this post. Dude, if you're down that way again, skip bub-bas. Not bad, for places without good BBQ, but so many good options in the area. Dave Poe's, Sam's, Williamson bros... lots of better options. JDs is good too, but hit or miss.

Ah, Woodstock. My sister lives there, just 2 miles from Bubba-Q. We like the place and it's close to their house.

You are right about Siri on CarPlay. Siri on CarPlay apparently uses Tom Tom data. Google Maps uses Google Search on CarPlay. World of difference. Apparently this applies to only when on CarPlay. Siri can find Bubba-Q, I just tried it from here in Carmel, but from my desk. Weird. After all, Apple has no in-house search engine. Apple uses Google Search. Supposedly Google pays Apple to be their exclusive search source.

Alan, you are the CSMA lying champ! Oh, the things you don't reveal. Tell us why you can't race on good tires. Tell us why you have lived in that tiny condo for decades. Tell us why your public facing image on your employer's site is a selfie taken many years ago, not a recent professionally-made picture. Tell us why you are still driving an old BMW (with no CarPlay) that your family made you a sweetheart deal on. And finally tell us why....well you know from my emails.

Come on Alan, be honest for a change.

I have no obligation to tell you anything, you lying little shit, but:

I CAN race on "good tires", but I choose to honour an agreement not to.

I LIKE my little condo.

My "employer's site"? Which would that be?

I drive the BMW because I LIKE it.

And finally, yes: you are a stalker.
