The victory circle cars seem to be pretty strong also.Comment

There used to be a time when people pulled for Plymouth, Chevy and Ford. It later became pulling for a driver regardless of what he drove. Remember that Earnhardt, Sr once drove Bud Moore's Ford, but people always associated him with Chevy. This worship of a chassis is absurd.43 races this year.

Maybe so but it wasn't Mr. God of dirt himself ( as most of his fans think he is ) in victory circle. It's funny, no matter who wins in a bloomer car it's always a bloomer win. Do you ever think it's THE DRIVER??Originally posted by made in the shade View PostComment

Sometimes, but not all the time. When a 15 year old with minimal experience in supers or at East Bay gets a Victory against some of the best, I'm leaning towards Bloomer being heavily responsible for that win. Sure the kid wheeled the car, but subtract Bloomer, his cars, his knowledge and hand holding from that equation and I bet the kid wouldn't have made the show. Do you really believe if that kid and his dad ordered themselves a Rocket or a Masters and an XYZ engine and set out for Eastbay on their own, that they'd still have magically garnerd that win??? Please. Money makes a huge difference at that level and then add in Bloomers knowledge and Experience.Originally posted by racer15B View PostLast edited by F22 RAPTOR; 02-14-2011, 08:06 AM."If racing were easy, everybody would do it."

It's where you want to be and and driver does have alot to do with it so you think bloomer could drive a ROCKET chassis look at some drivers that been in other chassis and did'nt like them it just where you want to be and race.that why they different car manufactors you drive on the road travelingComment

Redd!ck ran the Lucas series last year using rockets. He does have some experience but I would say that the Bloomquist car helped get that first win for him.Comment

I don't believe that Tyler only won because he was in a Bloomquist racecar. Last year, aboard a Rocket, Tyler showed vast improvements and displayed a handle for a race car that a lot of grown men would love to have themselves. In 09 Tyler won a B Main in Charlotte for the world finals, In 2010 qualified fifth overall at WVMS for the DTWC, tenth at the Jackson 100, and had consistent top tens and top fifteen runs throughout the year with Lucas Oil. He won a heat race with Lucas. No, he didn't make every race (But now days, who does?), and no he didn't shock the world. But, he impressed a lot of people, me included. And with the level of competition on the Lucas tour, a top fifteen finish is a hard feat to accomplish. The kid has been wheeling karts, midgets, mini sprints, and whatever else he could find for years. Several championships and wins in all his racing adventures.
You said if he was in anything but a Bloomquist car he wouldn't have even made the show.. Well, February 2008 at Volusia. Tyler, in a rocket (without Bloomquist's help) made the first race he entered. Sure, Scott's knowledge and skill helped him a lot on his new chassis, but I think even if Tyler was still in a Rocket, he would still have won a race at Eastbay. Now don't get me wrong, Tyler will benefit tremendously with the help of Scott and everyone at Bloomquist race cars. Hell, who wouldn't? I'm excited to see what the kid can do, because he's a good racer. His dad puts a good piece under him. He's young. Still a rookie, and already a speedweeks win. I think Eastbay is just the start of Tyler's winning season.Comment

I don't know about the chassis choice, but I wouldn't think you could go wrong with a Cornett engine. They're pretty much the top of the food chain in LM engines.Do you really believe if that kid and his dad ordered themselves a Rocket or a Masters and a Coronet engine and set out for Eastbay on their own, that they'd still have magically garnerd that win???
A Cornett engine won a feature this week (come to think of it I believe it was in a MasterSbilt chassis at the time), and Bloomquist himself used them forever.Comment

No, you miss quoted me. What I said or meant was, If this kid and his dad had been on there own and just had any old car making there own decisions the outcome would NOT have been the same. Subtract out Bloomers car, knowledge, experience and hand holding and they'd have been watching from the stands. That's what I said.Originally posted by KingdomRacing View Post

I think if you do some research you will find that one of those wins was in a Bloomquist chassis but not really a "Team Zero" member.
Congrats JO on the great start in FL!Comment
