Bloomers secret sauce?

[20fan]

What separates him from the rest? Shocks, set up, driving ability......?
Been going to eldora for years, and his car turns the best of anyone we have seen.

[flagone]

Sure looks like he is steering better than the others. Driving straight back to throttle sooner.

[Josh Bayko]

His driving talents are unrivaled, and over the years, his understanding of the cars themselves is on that level too.

[Chris Thomason]

Like Josh says... love him or hate him, the guy is simply one of the very best to ever hit the track. The tire rules really play to a better drivers hand. Billy Moyer even stated that in his DoD recap interview. There isnt anything Bloomquist hasnt seen and just experience can go a long way.

Everything you guys said applies and I'd add that, instead of falling into the trap a lot of racers and people in general fall into, that if a little of something is good then a whole lot should be awesome. Instead of trying to over do it in any one category he has always striven for a balanced drive-able car. Even in the early years of the, "on the hook" setups you almost never saw his car toting the LF. He keeps his cars pretty simple and basic, if you look underneath you won't see a myriad of brackets with untold number of possible settings, just the minimum to stay in the sweet spot and not adjust himself out. His cars tend to be build more rugged and less prone to part failures, you can't win if you don't finish. This is why he also hasn't won as much at Eastbay as some others, he isn't a throw it and stomp it sort of throttle jockey, he's a driver. Keeps the car straight, lets the chassis do the work, saves his tires and clobbers you in the end. I think this is why he never tried GRT when they were hot, they were the opposite of his strategy, holes everywhere and flimsy aluminum bracketry, not what he would do. That's what I've observed in my time and learned from a friend that helped assemble his cars at Warrior and Barry Wright.

Bloomy is among the very best in a dirt late model, but that's as far as it goes.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Smooth and straight is traction on all four wheels. Throwing the car into the corner creates more wheel spin.

The guy did dominate the USA 100 basically on 7 cylinders for almost that last 40 laps.

Not everyone needs a "devise". An average driver like jd does, but an above average driver don't. Bloomer is well above average... We understand u don't get it :D

[Pennsboro23]

The reason Bloomer is so good is because he's never satisfied with how well his car is. He thinks it can always improve. You see the very best athletes with the same mindset.

Perfectly set up car with a driver that understands how to drive it. It really isn't anymore complicated than that. His comment about losing the N/S last year and for so many years. We bring a perfect car here, and can't seem to win this race. He will win it this year. those that got often get. I am surprised every time he doesn't win. I really am./smile

[Car Biz]

From what I was told there is something he has figured out in the front end geometry. The thing is I doubt if I even looked at it I would not see what it is. Someone would have to measure the control arms the spindles to see just what if any the difference is.

That what we discussed this am. While he makes a big deal about covering the rear of the car, it is what up front that is the difference. He was quick to thank Randy last night.

[ThebigE]

He made passes in the middle of a slick track last night that only he could do.... I can't stand Bloomer but will be the first to admit that he is and always will be the GOAT in a DLM.

It may be.....but he is a very sharp dude!

Him and Bloomer together are like.....mashed potatoes and gravy! Cant be beat!

[Live4DLM]

Bloomquist learned long time ago that the quicker you get your wheels straight and have minimal tire spin the faster you will be. Bloomquist has more forward bite that most cars can dream of. He rarely ever gets beat to turn 1 on start. He also spent time in wind tunnel ...he shifted the nose on latemodels long before anyone else plus he learned that air goes throw inside of the car and hits rear spoiler different than most think. Bloomquist can pass guys when nobody else can...I saw him pass McDowell at the Bulls Gap Scorcher when the track was locked down and not a soul could pass.

[b1eagle]

Sounds like you know a lot abo
ut that drug.Must be your addiction.

[ClampedUp]

Truth is if the teams and drivers spent as much time as they do b1tching, ,whining and worrying about what Bloomquist is doing and put more effort and work into their programs they might get faster and beat him more often.
But by the time you catch up to him he'll be six steps ahead again....

[dirtcrazy4u]

Sweet has played a major role in this match up. These 2 together are on the same page. Anyone see if randy came in ?I wonder how many more years Bloomquist is going to stay behind the wheel ? I say he has quite a few years left. The big question, which not a soul has the answer, will he ride off into the sunset ? or will sweet/Bloomquist become a major player in the chassis business ? If you look at Rayburn or BWRC and a few others. These guys are getting up in there years. Opens the door to another conversation.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

I dont think bloomer will ever be a chassis builder like others are. He will prolly have a house car and then only a couple customers as there is now.

But by the time you catch up to him he'll be six steps ahead again....This, this is my favorite post. Everyone whines and b!tches about Bloomer and he's doing this or that and blah blah blah. No one is stopping anyone else from doing exactly as he is. He is always striving to get better, and I agree with Mavericks' post too. He's not going for 18 million adjustments, go with what works, and you perfect it.

Personally, I think it's in how straight he drives a car. Beyond smooth, straight and under control.

CIRF is referring to his truck attempt, which Bloomer fuked himself, and his midget attempt, which he sucked. But he was good in asphalt lates too. He doesn't drive a car sideways, so a midget and sprint certainly doesn't fit his style. I know that, it's painfully obvious he doesn't fit the drive off the right rear style. I think if he had a truck ride again he wouldn't fuk it up this time.

He had a real hard time getting comfortable in the midget because of his size that played a role in it. My dad talked to him after the race and that's what he told him.

Yeah he should have listen to the crew guys in the truck deal.

I think if he had a truck ride again he wouldn't fuk it up this time.cnbf, you and I have been over this before, more than once, but you're a reasonable, stand up guy and I think you'd agree that the really, really good and diverse race car drivers can adapt to whatever is under them at any given time on any given track. It's been apparent over the years that bloomy was never able to do that with any degree of sustained success. What you're saying is absolutely true, bloomy, like Moyer, always drives the car as straight as possible. That's their style and it has served both very well driving late models over the years.

I guess we can disregard bloomy's suckie performances in the truck due to him fukking it up, and the 2002 & 2003 Chili Bowl fiasco's due to that type racing not fitting his "style". So, what was his inherent problems in adapting to an ARCA car, especially on the dirt (see Springfield 1991)? In 3 starts at Michigan, Springfield, Illinois and Atlanta he had an average starting position of 16th and a spectacular average finish in those 3 races of 30th.

Now, to be fair, bloomy lost an engine at Michigan. But at Springfield he started on the outside of the second row due to a rain shower that shut down qualifying for an hour making the old mile super tacky and bloomy was the second car out to qualify after the rain, thus the 4th quick time. When the initial green was waved he spun in front of nearly the whole field trying to make it 3 wide going into #1 on the first turn of the first lap. At Atlanta he wadded up the race car pretty much all by hisself.

Doesn't seem to hamper Sammy's performance at The Chili Bowl. You kinda' had to figure bloomy would have created plausible deniability for flat having his ass handed to him at one of dirt racing's biggest events.

He has to study it, get used to it, whatever. Not that Larson, Hewitt, Clauson type. I think he's a very good driver and very calculated, just not a well rounded seat of your pants drive anything right away guy. I don't look at it as a positive or a negative. I'd rather be dam near perfect at one thing than a jack of all trades, it's how I look at my job. And I'm not trying to detract from anyone out there whatsoever.

So I could care less if Sammy was AJ, Tony, or Mario, his whole package just makes me wanna puke.

All I know is that when he was being courted for a Busch ride, late 90's or early 2000's, he ran 2 Hooters cup races. He finished top 3 in both of them. When you outrun Freddie Query, Rick Crawford, and (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ie Anderson in a late model, you have accomplished something!

Randy Sweet sure can build a good car. Man has many flaws but no one can match him and Scott together. Watching them talk for over a hour about the setup. They have a good thing going right now. That peice they had tonight was stout. 4 second USA win and no one could run with him tonight.

[roughride]

I personally think there is some cheating going on with Bloomy. Many cars were good at points during the race ie... Overton, Mars, T-mac. and during the first 50 laps or so Bloomer really wasn't going anywhere. Then comes the caution and all of a sudden here he is. I do not think it is traction control, but some sort of adjustability---weight jackers at the corners, shocks adjustable from the cok-pit, or moveable weight in the car. Watch Bloomers car after a yellow, his car never seems to go away, but instead gets better. I've seen them tech these cars before and I would suspect something is going on somewhere-very lax. There is no doubt he his one of the best but there is close to 100 million dollars of equipment with some of the best drivers in the world chasing him every weekend and they're not making much progress. Still getting whipped at every crown jewel there is.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Bloomquist ran the bottom basically the entire race. The combination of chassis, motor, gear and the experience of the driver prevailed here. Like I said earlier I think Overton and Bshepp running the top burned the RF off over time. Bloomquist could've also been laying off at first also know there's going to be cautions to make moves for position. As long as he's in the top 5 he knows he's sitting pretty good at half way.

The guy sued Eldora and UMP, if they could hang him on anything, you bet your a$$ they woulda. And you're correct, his car doesn't handle like everyone else's. NEVER FUKIN HAS. He doesn't believe in building cars like everyone else. They are way more durable and stiff, made to drive straight.

You realize he's raced for over 30 years and knows how to run crown jewel long races? No one gives a sh!t who is leading lap 1-99, it's lap 100 that matters. Stay near the front, take what's presented to you, and save your sh!t for the last 25-50 laps. Really not rocket science.

I quote and I do mean quote to you that I'm not a Scott Bloomquist fan! Jimmy Owen's fan here all the way.... And yes there are part's of what you have written that I do agree with about Bloomquist.... Yes Overton , Mars and T-Mac were good last night.... Bloomquist just happened to be BETTER!!! Yes you bring up a valid point of the Best Dirt Latemodel Driver's in the world chasing after Scott on a daily and weekly basis which I also have to agree with you on.....But what I can't and won't agree with you on is Bloomquist Cheating to get it done! Oh don't get me wrong here....... Would I put it past him to cheat? No I wouldn't.... Have I seen him cheat? Sure anyone who know's Scott Bloomquist has seen him cheat.... With that said.... Bloomquist is just that (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)in Good and doesn't need,want or have to cheat to win! Push the grey area? Sure they all do... Now before you go and pop off about Bloomquist Cheating again.... Do your homework my friend!! Believe none of what you hear and half of what you 👀 👀 see....

Kyle Larson won the very first race he ever ran in a stock car. It was on asphalt, too. He also won the All Pro East championship his rookie year. See the difference? Maybe that's why he's winning races and competing for a Cup championship and banking more money in one season than bloomy will bank in 4 or 5 or more.


It was just one race. Bloomquist career is about the whole.Actually it was two Chili Bowl's, Clayton. 2002 and 2003 and both were equally abysmal. I mean really bad.

Still, no one has made any excuses for bloomy's ARCA bust. In comparison Kevin Swindell came to Springfield to drive an ARCA car having never seen the place and qualified 2nd, finished 3rd and led 1/4 of the race. Of course KS won 4 consecutive Chili Bowl's, too.


Sammy is a pudgy manlet. Bloomer is a pudgy 6' 1" or 6' 2". Apples to oranges.Fat is fat and bloomy ain't pudgy, he's fat. 6' 1" is tall? Dave Darland is a hell of a lot taller than bloomy and he don't seem to have any trouble driving a midget. LOL! Try again.

Maybe that's why Davenport didn't have a good Chili Bowl in January. He must be too dammed tall! LOL!

I quote and I do mean quote to you that I'm not a Scott Bloomquist fan! Jimmy Owen's fan here all the way.... And yes there are part's of what you have written that I do agree with about Bloomquist.... Yes Overton , Mars and T-Mac were good last night.... Bloomquist just happened to be BETTER!!! Yes you bring up a valid point of the Best Dirt Latemodel Driver's in the world chasing after Scott on a daily and weekly basis which I also have to agree with you on.....But what I can't and won't agree with you on is Bloomquist Cheating to get it done! Oh don't get me wrong here....... Would I put it past him to cheat? No I wouldn't.... Have I seen him cheat? Sure anyone who know's Scott Bloomquist has seen him cheat.... With that said.... Bloomquist is just that (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)in Good and doesn't need,want or have to cheat to win! Push the grey area? Sure they all do... Now before you go and pop off about Bloomquist Cheating again.... Do your homework my friend!! Believe none of what you hear and half of what you   see....

He was so smooth in that car last night. Wasn't jacked up, throwing it into the corner and over driving it. Car was straight. Hit his marks every lap except for a little bit in lap traffic.

Obviously wasn't good enough for him to take the next step up the ladder.

You obviously are a hater, and that's ok. But, you're talking out your rearend, and don't know what you're talking about.

I was there, obviously, you weren't! It was strictly about the $$!

[lazermod3]

I was told that the so called secret sauce that Bloomquist uses,is bought in the Southwest Ohio area,and he picked this up on his way to Eldora.

[goincircles]

Smooth and straight is traction on all four wheels. Throwing the car into the corner creates more wheel spin.

The guy did dominate the USA 100 basically on 7 cylinders for almost that last 40 laps.

Smooth and straight is correct I watched Doug Wolfgang pilot a sprint car for many years and he drove as if he was on pavement most of the time and he was always moving forward side ways looks cool but scrubs a lot of speed especially on a dry track

Yeah, but that acetone/transmission fluid sure does burn, when you snort it! :)

Hey there is no doubt that he is one of the greatest of the greats but come on crown jewel after crown jewel. I feel like he was so outspoken about Davenport and the Rumley device was nothing more than a smoke screen for whatever he has going on. You ever notice how there is usually an ebb and flow with certain cars getting better and others fading during these hundred lappers? Especially after yellows. Well how often does his ever fade, hardly ever, it usually just gets better and better. He is racing against the best of the best ie. Lanigan, O'neal, Mcdowell, all with NASCAR connections for technology and money. Not to mention Clanton, Madden, and Pearson who are no newcomers either. I do believe he is the best of the best, I just have a hard time believing someone can be so dominant every time it counts?

The drivers you mentioned were no where near the front. NASCAR connections don't know anything about beating Bloomer. He is out driving guys, and saving his tires. Pierce is kind of doing the same thing.

I personally think there is some cheating going on with Bloomy. Many cars were good at points during the race ie... Overton, Mars, T-mac. and during the first 50 laps or so Bloomer really wasn't going anywhere. Then comes the caution and all of a sudden here he is. I do not think it is traction control, but some sort of adjustability---weight jackers at the corners, shocks adjustable from the cok-pit, or moveable weight in the car. Watch Bloomers car after a yellow, his car never seems to go away, but instead gets better. I've seen them tech these cars before and I would suspect something is going on somewhere-very lax. There is no doubt he his one of the best but there is close to 100 million dollars of equipment with some of the best drivers in the world chasing him every weekend and they're not making much progress. Still getting whipped at every crown jewel there is.Your right bud.. Bloomquist did cheat... hes too smart and has a heavy right foot. Other than that hes like everybody else. Thats why he is the G.O.A.T!!!! Like him or not he is the best it dlm

McDowell is in a Sweet/Bloomquist car and no longer has NASCAR money behind him.

He has three trick gizmo's they will never find or be able to outlaw:

1. Balanced Setup.

2. Patience.

3. Throttle control.

I wouldn't care if there was 10 million dollars equipment in the pits, most cars are NOT setup properly and then driven poorly, as well as making bad driving decisions. Bloomquist knows his car(doesn't change brands 3 times a year) and he knows that track. He doesn't show up to Eldora wondering who his competition will be, he shows up to race the track and no one else.
