What a f’n joke he is in that dumb a$$ car... as a Babb fan it’s tough to watch....

I agree but not surprised wasn't a big fan of it to begin with and haven't watched him in a bloomer car all year. I'll watch him in rocket. As I know bloomquist car is for big races.
It doesn’t fit his driving style at all.
People think there's some sort of magic in those Bloomquist cars. Nope! They aren't for everyone.
Bloomquist camp been in front of us all weekend, not impressed. Where does he get his help from now the retirement home?
Babb is over the hill. has nothing to do with the car.
He either needs to sell it or race it every night. You can’t run a Rocket most nights and save the Zero car for “big races” and intend to compete. It may not fit his style but this system isn’t doing him any favors.
It has to be difficult to be switching between two different chassis.
it says he is a senior member.
Babb likes to run the cushion hard Bloomer chassis isn’t setup for that style of racing It’s more running the middle/bottom I don’t see Babb back in bloomer chassis next year. May not make all this year in it
I think Marlar & E p j driving styles would fit bloomer chassis. Don’t think it is going to happen
The bloomquist and xr-1 take different driving styles. For a driver that isn't as easy at it sounds. It also takes a seat of the pants comfort feeling and it's just not there when he climbs in the Bloomquist car.
I still can't grasp if it's team drydene why is Ricky Weiss running so well and the others look like they are out to lunch ? Me, I have to wonder how long Cody sticks around. He just doesn't seem to be a guy who rides the highs and lows.
None of these cars are magic. I've owned and driven several different chassis and you just have to get use to the chassis and how it reacts to track conditions. Weiss has his chassis figured out because he's stuck with it for a while. Don't forget McDowell although mostly regional he can run and win about anywhere. My $.02
Get the Rocket dialed in
Run the Hell tour
Bang cushions
Win races
Sell t-shirts
Forget Bloomquist
Just wondering:
Are these comments a feel bad story for Babb or anti- Bloomquist reply’s. Some are great prospective s while others are just - ??
I'm guessing anti Bloomquist.....
There is a common denominator between the 2: Ed Petroff.
He was also on new rubber when he came back out.
I agree Babb needs to dump the old hippies car...
When Scott came out of the pits, he was 18th... he got back to 9th with the help of cautions and people pitting and finished 11th... coming “from the back” is quite the exaggeration.
So the transponder is a liar.......interesting! smh
As cars go by the scoring loop the transponder signal is picked up, the system doesn't know if it's a yellow or green flag lap. If Scott was stopped in the pits for more than a lap the scoring on the transponder would be wrong because he's not on the track for his transponder to show him completing the same laps as everyone else. This could cause cars a lap down to be scored ahead of him even. The official scorer is tasked with getting everyone lined up correctly by basically eliminating the yellow flag laps and putting cars that pitted or caused the yellow to the back of the lead lap.
I'm not assuming you don't know how it works, or that this was the case, I'm more explaining what could have happened for others who may not know.
as a big babb fan he hasnt exactly set the world on fire the last few years in any brand, maybe a few ump wins around illinois but nothing national level
A few years ago, Babb really struggled in his transition to Rocket. A year or so ago, he disliked one of his Rockets badly till he rolled out another. Owens struggled for a few years and is on-fire this year. It comes and goes with drivers, cars and chassis. It could be crew has changed, funding changed, there are multiple factors. Only the Rocket House car seems consistent from year to year.
