    How many guys follow a national series? A dozen? Most of the regional guys either have a day job or own a business and they race as a hobby. There are easier ways to make a profit.

    I can't imagine how much work it would take to get to the level of racing multiple times a week in a SLM let alone acutally being competitive.

    Fastford, you just said it yourself. You build motors, so if you think you'd get backlash from saying something like that ? I'll ask you. Do you think he made it up ? I don't know we're zero got it from nor do I care. I doubt if richards is stupid enough to say something like that. He's to smart of a businessman. If your building motors I suspect your smart enough not to get caught up in he said she said games.

    Mark did say it, and it made perfect sense. Are you out here to make friends, hang out, socialize, drink beer, screw off, or, are you out here to learn, do it right, take no short cuts, and constantly improve and evolve. Be a rule setter, not a follower. Improve yourself and everyone around you.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

    The first part of that is the local guy weekend warrior. The second part to that is the regional guy. The third part of that is the national touring guy.

    Everyone wants to be a Bloomquist, without putting in the time and giving a 110%!

    Funny how people take one quote, create their own narrative and run with it. Like people call him with a question and he just tells them to go look in a mirror then hangs up the phone. You all sound like a bunch of women

Sad to say it but yea it all comes down to who u are and how much money u have. This racing isn't a make money sport. some are lucky to break even. How fast u want to go comes with how much money u have. Don't matter if your a weekend racer or a full time racer. JMO

    Chupp n bloomer fan it don't matter if you have 2006 or a 2020 rocket. When u need advice on how to get better the chassis manufacture better not tell anyone to look in the mirror. If mark didn't say it then I would sure hope mark himself would make a comment on whoever posted it. But then again Mark don't give a (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) about us keyboard racers.

    This isn't an actual quote that Mark will say if you call with a question on how to valve a shock, a camber question, etc. This is something he may say to question the overall direction and goals of your operation.

    The quote from Mark is in the story about Lanigan returning to Rocket on DoD if anyone is doubting it. I think James777777 summed it up best.

    Mark Richards said it, and he was spot on.
