Bloomquist and the DQ

[DarrellGoode]

Does anyone know for real why he was 25 pounds light? And please no smart a$$ answers? For real, did something come off the car, or did he not compensate for the end? I guarentee I'm gonna get a dumb a$$ answer.

I guarentee I'm gonna get a dumb a$$ answer.I'm sure you will, but no, I don't think anyone does. And if and when Bloomer does, I'll be surprised if he says why. I'll ask him at the World though if I don't find out first.

[molmfan]

I would assume a weight possibly fell off. That happened to Terry Phillips at Knoxville a few years back. He was dq'd on scales and found the weight up against the wall a short time later.

[ShawnStreet]

I'd like to know what the debris was for that first caution. I'm betting it was the weight from the 0.

[High 5]

No way to know unless he says but he's won 6 of these, there is no way he suddenly forgot how to figure fuel load.

[ClampedUp]

Miscalculated the fuel??
25# is about four gallons of fuel....

Your probably right.

[25drtrkr]

My best guess is a crewman forgot to put in that last 5 gals of fuel! I bet he had a LONG walk home!

[hygty]

the only one that choked was bloomer enough said

[25drtrkr]

new name same ole Lighty..........

Agree ^^^^^^! Bloomer led the last nine laps, but he choked????? I would say, the video shows JD choking on the last restart! But JD gets the victory, fair and square.

[Birky15Bfan]

When Babb was light they took the big motor out and put the smaller one in and forgot to add weight for the difference in weight between the two motors,so who knows with Bloomquist.

[hygty]

if you don't finish the job you choked at the biggest race of the year enough said

[IceCowart]

Can only be 3 things all have been covered . Motor change did not add wt. Lost wt on the track. And last the 1 that will get some body in big trouble on the team forgot to add at least 6 gallon of fuel! Any way you look at it he got punked and there is no week links! Roll on ga boy roll on!

[25drtrkr]

You seem to be the expert on choking!

I guess we all know how you got that expertise!

[hygty]

atleast they don't some jackazz move like lucas does by docking a team for using track provisional

[hygty]

Is he that good that he planned to be exactly the correct weight when he went across the scales? JD said that they were prolly 60 lbs heavy cuz they did not want to take a chance being light. I'm guessing the 25lbs Bloomer was light was actually more like a 50lb f%#k up.

[davis2902]

The video that Blackfordquist posted. https://youtu.be/g6XR4jPFYcs at 12:20 in. Lots of fluid on the ground after Bloomer pulled off the scales and backed up. Dry sump line could have easily pumped the oil out of the tank. 25lbs easy!

[Slideitinsideways]

One qt of oil weighs 1.8 lbs. It takes 4 qts to make a pound. Must be using a small fuel cell for a oil tank..I believe its more likely than not that Aliens obviously had something do do with this... Special lead weights he uses?? The conspiracy theories will go on but we will never know the truth.

[RJ7171C71R]

I heard some people talking after the race that One of Bloomers crew guys forgot to bolt on a weight somewhere. I guess a team member pitted beside them seen it sitting in the hauler!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but it appears Scott has a new group of crew members as of late. Not the same crew guys I remember being with him earlier this year.

There is your Quote of the week. This one will be talked about forever.

It was a UMP race. They were not giving any burn off cars had to weigh 2300 after the race. Your responsible for bolting lead on correctly. If it falls off you are liable. Most places if you lose lead it's automatic DQ

[hygty]

you cant read can you what does this say he was at the wrong race

[GRT24]

I was actually just adding some info to build on your post. Not disputing your post.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

as well as bloomer did in the long runYou never change. A guy who was a non factor or one battling for the win?

[hygty]

but at the pay window at the end of the night both got about the same but with one with more used stuff

[fryefan]

I'd like to know what the debris was for that first caution. I'm betting it was the weight from the 0.

I am pretty sure that it was debris from a spoiler that was knocked off.

[hygty]

what ever it was it doesn't matter debris is debris
