    Default History of Weight issues.

    Some that come to mind are:
    Babb light after winning World 100
    Babb light after jumping in a competitors car at Macon and winning from back just to come up light at the scales.
    And now the 100 k mistake by bloomer.

    What are some others?

    Josh Richard a couple of years ago at Eldora was light. Finished in top 5
    Wade Knowles was light at Eldora after winning a Dream heat in 1995

    Golden Isles Speedway in the early 90's Billy Moyer loaded the car after qualifying because of coming up 10 lbs., lite. I believe it was a Hav-a-Tampa race. I was in the pits working on a limited late and could the grandstands "booing" him as the team pulled out of the track.

    Jack Pennington during the b-main at the Dirt Track World Championship in 1991. I'd have to look in my book to be sure but he either won or finished second and was set to transfer to the feature and came up light.

    Tim Shaffer was light in qualifying Thursday night after running maybe the second best time in his group?

    When Thunder Ridge in Kentucky was open, it seemed like the first thing the winner (no matter who it was) would do after taking the checkers was find the nearest mud hole to pack on as much extra weight as possible before crossing the scales. Granted, this happens everywhere from time to time, but every week someone went splashing through the mud LOL

    Knowles did it at the World, I've never been to the Dream, but I guess it coulda been both.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

    Bloomer was light after apparently transferring from a B main quite a number of years ago.

    Remember seeing Mike Duvall tossed for being light at a NDRA race at Atomic (TN) . Local driver "Little" Bill Corum inherited the win.

    I would have thought that with Friday being National Doughnut Day , Bloomers should have consumed enough free doughnuts to cover at least 25 lbs...

    So I'm guessing the newly enforced public and personal attack rulings don't really apply as long as it's a certified , self proclaimed genius is doing it?????

    If memory is correct, believe Scotty was 10 lbs. light at Farley Iowa many years ago. Anyone remember the details?

    I seem to remember Bloomer lost a Pittsburgher one year when a weight fell off of the car and he came up light
