Doug Floer continued his recent winning ways by finishing first in
all 3 races and qualifying. Dave McKay was close in 2 race sessions,
but still came in second. Robert Fraser was competitive early in the
season, but finished poorly in August. All other drivers were far
behind the leaders. Erle Archer, winner of the 2022 FF trophy, has
had a terrible season. He has not raced since June.
Doug Floer will move to the season championship FF lead when this
month's results are posted by SCCBC. If he shows up for the next 2
race weekends he's very likely to win yet another trophy.
Notably, Alan Baker continues to be absent. He claims that the
(simply awful IMHO) Candian healthcare system cannot schedule him
until September or October for a minor racing-disqualifying surgery
for an issue diagnosed months ago. Very convenient that he is out of
the running for the entire season now that Doug Floer and Dave McKay,
two of the best drivers in the class, are back full time at the
track!

time when we raced head to head, right, Little Shit?
And I never said that the surgery was "racing-disqualifying". That's
just another lie you've made up from a whole cloth. The problem is that preparing the car for racing, loading it into the trailer, unloading everything at the track, setting up my paddock space, fuelling the car
and performing other common tasks between sessions, packing up at the
end, and then unloading it all again at my garage...
...those aren't things I'm likely to do while suffering from a hernia.
And no: it's NOT convenient. It's very frustrating. But unfortunately, because I have a blood condition which requires me to take blood
thinners, there are some locations for surgery that won't accept me as a patient.
But at least every Canadian CAN get the surgery, and if it were a more
acute situation, I'd get it much faster.

Yes, you beat him about one time out of three. BUT, you are not as good as he is.
I'll say it again, you are not as good as Floer, McCall and McKay. Your record proves it.
Every American could get that surgery. Medicaid would fund it. Do you understand
that Medicaid has no premiums and covers over 70 million people?
It is available to all with incomes under a threshold. Enrollment is free.

Alan was able to win 1/3rd of the time against those who you've admitted are good
indicates an adequate level of parity such that Alan must be considered good too.

But one thing he didn't bring up:
If Medicaid solves all the problems of health care in the US...
...why are so many people in the US (something like 500,000 a year)
forced into bankruptcy due to medical bills?

Because they can't handle family finances.
https://www.debt.org/bankruptcy/medical/
"As many as 62% of bankruptcies include significant medical debt,
according to a study the Maine Law Review. Despite causing so much
financial stress, there is no actual “medical bankruptcy.”
"When you file for bankruptcy, you are required to make a list of
your debts. That’s stuff like credit cards, mortgages, personal
loans, utility bills – all the money you owe but cannot pay."
Total U.S. family bankruptcy incidence is about 750,000 per year.
Canada about 100,000, about the same proportion of population. Like
the U.S. the incidence has increased over time:
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/boc-review-winter11-12-allen.pdf
"Since 2000, approximately 100,000 Canadians have filed for
insolvency each year. This comprises mostly bankruptcies and is
triple the annual number of bankruptcies in the 1980s."

No Alan, I said you were the best of the second rate drivers. That's good, but not excellent.
