Erb selling his Bloomers...

[Mindwalker]

Looks like he's got them and his hauler for sale. New hauler must be in the makings...

Heard here first 😎

[thexfactor0210]

He has been trying to sell both for a while

[Mindwalker]

$15,000 a piece....

Wonder what kind of hauler he's getting? Looks like he has a black diamond up for sale too.

[jman1086]

Heard from a reliable source that he is getting the rocket house car hauler, they just picked up there new one last week

[Mindwalker]

Can't believe he's parting ways with the ole pete.

[Josh Bayko]

They’ve been for sale for like a year now.

[TS FAN]

I never took Erb jr for a guy who would own bloomers. Learn something new every day.

[Mindwalker]

So much for "heard it here first" stuff... Lol

Erb had little to no success in the Bloomers. Some do, some don't like all the other chasses. Always wish him success, hel of a guy... hel of a wheelman!!!

[GRT62]

how old are the bloomer cars?

[Josh Bayko]

how old are the bloomer cars?

They’re Team Zero cars. That’s how old they are.

[Mindwalker]

Well taken care of tho I'll bet ya...

[Mindwalker]

Not cars to be running a national tour with but for your local Saturday nighters.... Be worth it I'd think.

He won 11 races in 2013 and four of those being lucas oil shows. So id say he had good success in those cars.

He did buy the rocket rig and those cars will go cheaper im sure

Im like you though. Great guy, great wheel man, and best of luck to he and heather. Its hard not to like the guy. I always find myself pulling for him when i watch a race.

Both cars were built on 2009.

[a25rjr]

Is he gonna race....freeballin....this year? :)

Where are you going to get tech help or spindles when you crash?

[MI Dirt Fan]

Those would be like a pro stock or sportsman chassis now.

[drunkinashortbus]

I was told he got those cars from Blankenship used so I would say atleast 6 yrs old now

[TheJet-09]

Any guess as to how many miles are on his hauler?

I'm not a trucker, but when I heard I was blown away. But with as much racing as he does, I could see it at the same time.

[King1]

Youre right. Those were his cars.

[King1]

Help? Well i guess you have to kinda know whats going on yourself. Couldnt i just pm you or ask a question in the tech section?

A good shock guy like keith berner or paul wilmoth can help as well. Those guys have helped me a ton over the years. Its all in who you surround yourself with. Ive never really relied on a chassis mfr to win. That being said ive never won a slm race, ive ran up front a bunch but never broke through. Ive won a bunch of steel block lm races but supers will bring you back to earth

Bloomquist will sell parts but PPM will make them as well. And at a better price.

[zyoung25]

That hauler will never get another bath ever again. 3 things you'll never see from Erb Jr. Fast time award, a big lasting smile, and a squeaky clean hauler.

[King1]

LMAO. best thing ive read all day

[Mindwalker]

Now watch somebody volunteer their time and keep that old house car hahauler shining like a diamond evertime he pulls it though the pits gate. 😎

Correct. I have rarely even talked to builders myself. Just pointing out the limitations of buying a low production piece that probably has little to no support at present.

[cgrace]

now that was funny zyoung!

[non driving fool]

With as many Rocket nut huggers as we have that old hauler might come with a couple still attached !

[dmr37]

I'm not a trucker, but when I heard I was blown away. But with as much racing as he does, I could see it at the same time.

300,000 miles?

[Mindwalker]

300,000 miles?

Way more... I bet its closer to a million. Or more.

[Krooser]

Sold my Pete in 2013 with 1,980,000 miles...ran until 1,920,000 before I did an inframe major.

[TheJet-09]

I was told (yes, a "rumor").....3 Million! I was also told at the same time that he was buying the Rocket rig, and that was back at the World, so I believe it.

I'm thinking the factory warranty has expired.

[Mindwalker]

Pretty common for a tractor to run up in the millions.

[Krooser]

Funny how you see these older trucks with newer conversions and they never have more than 300k on the clock... That's how many miles the speedo has on it!

[Tireguy17]

But how many of those 3 million were put on it as a race hauler?

[Mindwalker]

Im sure he didn't buy it new so, as much as half them miles were probably on there.

[Cardirt0]

Im sure he didn't buy it new so, as much as half them miles were probably on there.

I bet its more then 1/2 hes had it a long time....

[Mindwalker]

How many miles are on the Rocket hauler?

Is that a International?

[Mindwalker]

I bet its more then 1/2 hes had it a long time....

Right, I remember it back as far as around 2006. He may have had it long befor then...

[Mindwalker]

Its probably around a 2000 pete. Maybe older?

[zyoung25]

How many miles are on the Rocket hauler?

Is that a International?

I think Mark gets a new one every couple years, so I'd say it still has relatively low miles for a race car hauler.

Sounds like a nice ride then. Good to see Dennis going strong.

Big Blue is always a Peterbilt, and they seem to get a new one every year.

The last one he sold to Jared Landers along with 2 new Rockets before the XR1 era began. I'm guessing that was prior to the 2015 season

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Sounds like a nice ride then. Good to see Dennis going strong.Oh it’s real nice, and well maintained.

[Mindwalker]

Yep... Bloomer has gone a long way since selling that old pick up truck. 😎

[Swampy121]

Yep... Bloomer has gone a long way since selling that old pick up truck.  What truck did he have before? I didn't pay attention to it to remember.

[PRCKartRacer9]

Does Feger have one of Bloomers old trailers?

[Mindwalker]

What truck did he have before? I didn't pay attention to it to remember.

Actually it was a 57 cheby he traded for his first hauler. Dont know what it was but im sure it was an open hauler.

[Krooser]

I would be surprised if Erb's Pete had 3,000,000 miles on it.

I owned my last Pete for ten years...put on just under 1.1 million on it. That's just over 100k per year. It was 18 years old (1995) when I retired for the first time and sold it.

Unless his truck is 30 years old, or it runs a team operation 7 days per week, 50 weeks per year it isn't close to 3,000,000. Most race operations are seasonal... they don't run 2,000 to 2,500 miles per week every week.

Do the math... it doesn't add up. Sounds cool...

That's what Bloomer fans see... here's what most old school truckers see...

[Mindwalker]

When International first came out with that truck... thats what I seen. So you're right Krooser, old school trucker here 👍

Does Bloomer drive his new rig? Haven't seen it yet. I know Erb always drives his stuff...

[zyoung25]

Does Feger have one of Bloomers old trailers?

He has the one that caught one fire years ago, it's an old ultra comp. Jason got the hauler cheap and had to fix the burn damage himself. I dont remember how it caught fire now, but pretty much the front half of the trailer was crispy.

Was it the trailer that burned or cab or both. I can't quite remember. I was thinking it blew a tire and broke a brake line and caught fire that way.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Where does Erb get all his $$ or he have that good of sponsors?

[PRCKartRacer9]

I thought it was his old ultra comp. thanks for clarifying

[Mindwalker]

Where does Erb get all his $$ or he have that good of sponsors?

He owns a strip club in Chicago. Lol... He's in his 40s, he's been racing hard sence he was a teen (look at his schedule) the guy puts in the hours.... Work work work!! He works his azz off. Im sure when his dad died he was left a chunk and put it to good use.

[Krooser]

Had a trophy girl lose her bloomers in the back seat of my pace car years ago...

[Mindwalker]

A whole lot a lovin' went into them panties.... 😏

[Mindwalker]

Looking forword to seeing the new Pete... Hope it gets him a few more wins. I've often wondered he don't win as many races as he could because he don't like being up on stage and doing interviews lol.... Good luck in 2018 Dennis and Heather!!

[Necrosis]

Was it the trailer that burned or cab or both. I can't quite remember. I was thinking it blew a tire and broke a brake line and caught fire that way.It was the cab and hauler. Someone loaded bottled water in the hatch by the propane tanks, hit a few good bumps, water shifted and knocked the propane line off. Kablewee.

[TMaCiLLiNi39]

Big Blue is always a Peterbilt, and they seem to get a new one every year.

That’s not entirely true... I know of atleast one Big Blue being a Freightliner Coronado...
