What’s going on with Bloomer? Is he still recovering from accident last year or are the chassis still a work in progress? Or maybe perhaps Father Time catching up? What is up and how do you think this season will play out for Scott? A lot of great drivers but it’s always nice to have him in the mix for wins?
It appeared He got into the corner a little hot on a slimy surface last night. Probably pulled in to save the equipment.
is weiss in a bloomer car?
Yes, Weiss, Madden, Babb, McDowell, and Ferguson are all driving Bloomquist chassis. Any others that I missed?
I’m going to catch some sh!t for this but Father Time is undefeated. Add in a terrible injury at his age and I doubt you’ll ever see Scott dominate like he once did. That’s not saying he’s not capable of winning a few races a year.
Tad Popisel is in a bloomquist car. He bought the stuff that Bronson was getting.
Didn't he buy it awhile back and rolled it or wrecked it hard first time out?
Nick Hoffman I think has the cars the Scott brothers had.Quote:

He didn’t pull in last night to save equipment- he slammed the outside guardrail fairly hard & went offetrack on a hook. Also- it was a points race- have to stay out there if at all possible.
Forrest Trent has one
Yes rolled it a Marshalltown last spring then got it fixed. I believe he has a 2nd car now too.Quote:

Chassis appears behind the others for now.
Yep, Jake has the worst luck with rides.Quote:

The time off probably didn't hurt his recovery from his surgery, but he's of course up there in age so he very well could still be in pain from the surgery, even if it went perfectly well. I'm hoping he can get it turned around soon. Earlier this year there were concerns that the droop rule was affecting the Bloomer cars, right?
Believe Mr. Hudkins finally got a little short on $$$$$$$. They definitely blew a crap load of it down at the Bloomer compound.Quote:

Sophomore year of High School I spiral fractured a Tibia and Fibula (Joe Theisman injury) in a football game in October and it was July before I could run again and I was just a pup. I don't have to tell the rest of the over 40 crowd around here how much longer it would take to recover from that nowadays. I think he'll be back to winning again but probably not for awhile. He's human, you know.
Here's the thing, if he gets to the point where he don't feel like he can win every night and also actually win a lot Scott is gonna hang 'em up. He's out there to win. Not just to make laps. I'm not a Bloomquist fan but he's one tenacious MF'er. Not even the haters can deny that.
Moyer doesn't win alot of the races he enters anymore...
Yea but he wins!😁😁Quote:

Bloomer's cars are doing pretty well. That is his future of course. I see no way he returns to dominate anything on the track at this point. He was a great driver, but all things come to an end. If he wants to race, he certainly should, but thinking he will be the man to beat is wishful thinking.
I believe it was Madden that said the droop rule was affecting thier cars some. They couldn't find the right balance. And with Bloomers on the mend from the accident and the death of Randy I don't think they had much time to work on it. McDowell has been racing under that rule and has it figured out. I think Ricky has also ran a few events in the past under it also I believe.
Bloomer helped/correspond with Ray Cook when the droop rule was being planned.
The cars seemed to get pretty high again this weekend.Quote:

After Scott retires the stories about his adventures will more than likely be revealed. By family, friends and fellow racers and it will be interesting. His start to this season has a lot of people guessing as to what mite be wrong. Hip, droop rule, age, family, all have there opinions. It will be interesting.
