Bloomquist and McDowell, Juggernaut in the making or Titans United!?

[Kromulous]

He already tried manufacturing chassis at his place, and selling cars / chassis etc. There were alot of guys with Bloomquist chassis, and winning alot too, Owens etc.

What happened? he got slow on the track, not enough time to do both. Running a chassis buisness and racing to win is to much. So this year, as he said at the end of last year was, i am re-focusing on my stuff and my racing.

Now he has brought Randy Sweet into the picture to handle the manufacturing of the chassis. Which means he can do the R&D pass it on to Sweet to incorp it into the Chassis.

Adding McDowell is genius.

I agree with you

[Aces&Eights]

I don't think parity is the problem. The rules that were meant to create it is. When everything is mandated, it just gets boring. Parity when people are doing their own thing, is good, IMO.

I think we agree, but isn't "parity" everybody having to do the same thing? Kinda like income equality=socialism.

He brought Randy in for engineering on the suspension... Randy don't build cars.

Parity just means they are even. Like around 2000 when you could win a touring race with a 4 link or swingarm.

Pretty sure Scott don't build the cars anymore.

[Aces&Eights]

Pretty sure Scott don't build the cars anymore.

I stand corrected, if "MasterSbilt_Racer" says Scott doesn't build cars anymore then I believe it. He's never steered me wrong before and usually knows what he's talking about.

[Josh Bayko]

Pretty sure Scott don't build the cars anymore.

Didn't he not even really build the original Team Zero cars? Wasn't it the Brucebilt guy who actually built the cars?

[Kromulous]

I thought the first 3 or 4 cars he built, after he hired that guy, and they built the cars at Bloomquists place there in TN. Now i wonder where there being built, i am guessing at Sweet's place.

True. He was the fab guy/welder.

The first Bloomquist cars were built at Warrior to his specifications, then he moved production in house, at his own shop and collaborated on his first front end with the guy who started FAST chassis, who also had worked at Warrior, but I forget his name.

[Dirt Racing #1]

I know for a fact. Bloomquist did have his cars built in his shop. When I went there several years back. They was working on building one. Not sure if he still has them built at his shop still?

[MI Dirt Fan]

I wonder how many cars someone like him has personally had for himself over the years.

He probly reads the forum for his daily funnies.

I don't think anyone here contradicted that.

I know. I will try to find out. Where he has them built at now. My buddy is a pretty good source.

I remember reading an article about Scott where he talked about how stiff his cars were and that he tended to race them for a while. I'd bet he has less personal cars than people think.

those FAST chassis were the lightest chassis ive ever seen, they were fast in the slick, but they seemed a little unsafe to me.....

[titbaby115]

They are built at his shop that is where Dale car was built to he has his on part-time wielder so it is in-house.

[BTExpress]

I always wondered how many cars the top drivers, Bloomquist, Davenport, Richards, etc went through in a season? I just assumed they started the year with two brand new ones and unless they had a major crash which junked a chassis, they got two new ones again at the beginning of the following year. I know the top sprint car guys go through at least three or four cars a season.... Top late model teams....not so sure?

[stevo]

Don't think Dale's would be a Sweet/ Bloomquist as it was not built in Mich,it was built here in Tn at Bloomquist.
