Bloomquist's lack of Internet presence

[BloomerHarvickFan]

Does anyone know why Bloomquist has never embraced the internet like a lot of other drivers have? It seems that for a while his website updated, giving schedule and results, but in the last few years, it hasn't been updated well, and now, as has been mentioned in another thread has last year's schedule. Under a heading of Next Event it just says "Schedule @ Lucas Dirt.com"
It looks like all the website is good for is basically being an online store.
Even his Stats tab hasn't been updated since 2010!!!
You'd think a guy who is always on the cutting edge of the Late Model world, and is all about getting his name out, being relevant and causing a stir, that he'd utilize website, social media, etc...but nothing.

[mskdorf]

Been wondering the same thing. Being a fan, I would like to know more than his Lucas schedule. I can get the Lucas schedule from their site.

Scott was getting his name out and causing a stir long before social media came along. May be one of the reasons he always has been, and always will be relevant. Not a Bloomer fan but I respect everything he's done and how he's done it, HIS WAY.

[dirtdobber45]

The man is trying to stay on top of his game. He doesnt have time to keep up on the web. Look at Marler you never know hes gonna show up. At least you know Scott will be at the Lucas shows.

The question was "did" not "does"

The question was "did" not "does"

Sure it was

www.nobodydidinthe1970'sidiotsotryadifferentargume nt.com

Seriously using that logic is like saying did Hitler use nuclear weapons? Well no, but had they been available at the time......

Go back to trying to figure out the difference between postponed and cancelled.

No need to. It was cancelled and the makeup date was announced. Had the event already started, it would be postponed until they can restart to event. Since it didn't start, it was cancelled.

Goats don't use the internet

[dirtdobber45]

Goats don't use the internetExactly... Scotts got enough people talking about him. Why does he need to add. As it was said before he was talked about around the country before there was the internet

[formercrewguy]

The internet is a passing fad...............it will never last.

So still you still don't know the difference.....got it. Cancelled to most people with the IQ above banana slug would mean not happening, I.E. that tv show I watched just got cancelled. Postponed would be hey this race I'm going to got rained out got postponed from today until tomorrow.

If you don't see the difference, put your $75,000k plus up to promote a show, then just shrug it off when the headline says Race Cancelled.

[smooth32]

He never has been fan friendly. His choice.

Never seen someone so butt hurt still from something over a week ago

[B_K]

You started this little exchange. Maybe next time just keep playing with the trolls. Or just you know..... drop a gear.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Unfortunately for you. I'm definitely not going anywhere. So..

[NormP]

He has an internet presence.

It's called 4m.net.

Not a single day goes by that we don't talk about him on here.

[B_K]

Cool, all villages need an idiot.

Looking forward to the comedy that is sure to ensue.

[bullring]

More results accomplished working on a racecar than talking about it on the computer.

[dirtdobber45]

He never has been fan friendly. His choice.Shows how much you know...again. Ive sat on back side at Volunteer watching the locals race and have Scott show up with a 5 gal. bucket full of iced down beer and watch the races. Just cause he wouldnt talk to you at some track hes racing at dont mean hes unsociable. He just dont like goofy looking people.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

He never has been fan friendly. His choice.Lol. He is fan friendly, in a way that's not fake. That I think is fine. I don't need him balls deep on me nor do I need to be balls deep on him. He is working on race cars, not playing video games, tweeting, or posting on Facebook.

[President Clinton]

Breaking news....... Bloomer is coming out of the closet after alll these years!!!! Seems he was running around on Josh with little Bobby and got caught by a nosy 4mer!!!!! Cats out of the bag

[SHOE32]

It's so funny to come on here and listen to people ,that obviously don't go to the races,talk about how rude and unreasonable bloomquist is to fans. I have met him and talked to him multiple times, whenever he races in the midwest,and he has never been hard to talk to. My son has met him at LaSalle and Cedar lake too. So quit hating and just get out and enjoy the races.

[dirtcrazy4u]

I no how to stop it.... Bobbie pierce is the next Scott bloomer, he's old and wash up, you watch this kid go. By George he will have won more races than all of them . LOL .

[BloomerHarvickFan]

My point was not that Scott is not fan friendly, or that he should be blowing up twitter all the time, but it would be nice, as a fan to have an idea where he's racing, other than Lucas races.
I just cant figure out why you would actually have a website but not have it updated with schedule information and results.
The best days as far as communication was in the 90's when Don and Barbara ran the fan club and the Bloomquist hotline. You could call and get results, next race, and schedule as far ahead as they knew at that point.

Maybe his daughter will go into web designing.

First, you have to be a friendy fan. :cool:

[Black I]

I'm starting understand now all the talk over the years about Bloomer being rude. Look at the people posting that claim :D He's allways been cool when I was around him. :cool:

Maybe Scott just wants to keep everyone guessing.

[Highside Hustler25]

He is working on race cars, not playing video games, tweeting, or posting on Facebook.

Same can be said with ONeal, Lanigan, Moyer, Francis, and a few others. The above games you mentioned are more for the younger guys. Can't see Scott facebookin or swittin.

As far as his website, for as long as I can remember, it's not updated very often. Then again, when you sell that many T shirts I guess it doesn't really matter does it.

[Krooser]

Against my better judgement I have increased my internet presence here on 4M....

[smooth32]

Scott can't post a schedule because if he does the 32 won't show.. Hence Florence a couple weeks back but I am pretty sure the 32 won a 1500$ show in the cornfields of Illinois that night.. Pretty sure the weather was iffy for Florence and It was $3000 and raced at a sponsors home track i believe. You wanna talk about butt hurt? You bloomeroids take the cake! Can't even have a thread about your hero without constantly making pierce references. Jealous much? You nut huggers don't remember the years where your fan friendly driver used to rope his pit area off at Eldora to keep the fans away. Over 200 cars at this event and ole black sunshine is the only one keeping his fans away. He is awesome. PUKE

Have you ever seen how molested he used to get in his pit area. He 100% did it so he could still work on his car. I know it's hard for you to imagine, but there is more than one driver in the world. And judging from his t-shirt trailer and the noise he still creates, yeah, he's still Bloomquist.

You get so fukin hot and bothered b!tching about a guy, over absolutely nothing. But yet, someone picks on your little Romeo and it's armageddon. Like who you like, and others will like who they like, you started you're sh!t over this fan thing, which I don't know wtf you're talking about. You're not a fan, fine, don't speak for those that are when you aren't.

You're the very type that turns people off on Bobby, the ignorant ones running their trap over complete BS. And the same is true when people b!tch about Bobby over nothing, some being Bloomer fans. The hypocrisy you show is hilarious, as well as the lack of common sense.

I just don't give a sh!t. This has been blown up over nothing. He doesn't update his website, so be it. Should he, yeah, but he doesn't. To turn it into a well he just doesn't like his fans and whatever, get the fuk outta here. Starting sh!t over nothing. Very similar to b!tching about a driver doing donuts after a big win. Same fukin thing.

An exact description of youself. Now go hide for another two weeks lol. Hey, it's the truth man...

[Josh Bayko]

Bloomer' lack of internet savvy will correct itself once he steps away from driving and puts a younger, more social driver in the car. Driving Bloomer is an introvert and putting all his business out there isn't his style. When somebody else is the face of Bloomquist race cars and he's got to sell cars to keep food on his table he'll be more willing to publicize his dealing in hopes of attracting new customers, because he'll have to.

[ThebigE]

Bloomer always has ropes around his pit area for the Dream and World.... And he's the only one. Not sure why? Unless he thinks he is so much more special than everybody else.

If he does, where does it say you can't?

[zach51]

When Bloomquist ropes his area that is is right to do so. He doesn't have time to run around in a Joker costume. When it comes to 100k he is all business!

If that is the case, the business decision would have been buying some accurate scales instead of the rope.

It's been going on for many years. Drivers back in the day did it to improve their racing program. It's called the "rope trick" and it works very well.

[MI Dirt Fan]

We pitted next to a guy one season (multi time LM track Champion) and we are "friends" with the guy but there were always 7-8 people, sometimes more, standing around his car just watching and looking. Not working on it. We had no room to work on our own car, one night I finally had to say something to a few guys unless your working on that car to move out of the way.

So, did Scott Bloomquist indicate he will be driving a Mod in the 50 thousand to win mod special at Cedar Lake , Wis. in June ? As you recall Scott got second to Ryan Gustin @ Fountain City, Wis. last September in a $ 40000 to win Mod race.
