So what's your point, it has no effect on weekly racing. Several years ago a promoter tried to run a series of 5 n 10K late model show. The series was killed by weather, car counts, and attendances. Promoting is a risk. They are having a 40 K mod show, they have a 100 entries, there should be 200, but mod rules are more screwed up than late models.

it sure does it take away racers that normally would be racing at their home track weekend seems funny late on in the year united money pit will have a 3 day show for mods 3 k 4k and 5 k and get 80 mods the big problem with mod is the rules are not even close from one sanction to another crates work great with some sanctions others not even close

Yea your right, this is Bloomquist, let's reflect back to how he done in that truck race, and the chilli bowl. Thats the last 2 times he's stepped out and raced another car on dirt and he got his a$$ kicked. He's not going up there and racing a bunch of other late model guys that decided to drive a mod like he did 04, these ol boys race for a living. Don't believe me, go find the results to that race.

I respect Scott and his knowledge, I just don't see him or anyone else that don't drive mods for living going up there and taking that money from them.

He hasen't been gettin his a$$ kicked as of late. and by the way wheres all those
Davenport lovers . If bloomer cant race there for the world , maybe their superhero
can have a chance. And if he races the mod , well their game just steped up, if he goes
we will see.

Mods took over in the midwest because racers where no longer willing spend a ridiculous amount of money on a hobby. Most teams are self funded here, IMCA and Wissota have done what they can to keep costs down. Promoters here can also be held responsible as they do not wish to pay out a majority of their purse to the smallest field of cars. Unfortunately the mod thing here has gotten out of hand, too, and entries in the mod fields are quickly dwindling,too.

Exactly, when IMCA went to the spec late model engine in 1996(I think) everyone had to run out and spend $10k in the middle of winter when they hadn't planned on it. We already had our brand new 383 in the car...not cool. Now, a lot of IMCA guys are spending $20k plus for a spec motor and of course some are way beyond that. The mods are pretty bad now too, but nothing like the Late Models. Here in Central Iowa, it's hard to find a full field of lates at any track on any night. Most of the time they might have 12 at best.

I think he will take home the check if he runs it. Mods are a trickle down tech group from late models, not so with the trucks or the midget chili bowl example. In those examples he was going up a level not down a level. Not taking anything away from the mod drivers(i own one). Bloomer is at the top of that food chain and he will have better shocks hands down and no telling what else he has going on, on that thing. Might even have him some of those special tires. He said it in an interview last year when davenport was on his roll that if his wife had a faster gokart she would probably beat him.

You pay the bills? Then you have no idea what they have business doing. But we all know you have no business walking down the sidewalk.

Could not have picked a better year to start a big mod show, 40 K to win, Bloomquist and Owens suspended, let's go run a mod show in Wisconsin. If you haven't been to MTS, you're in for a great show! It's a great way to get a big mod show rolling.

The reason the car count for this race is like it is for this race is because the track cut off entries at a certain number

[klemmabyna]

10 6 Brock Bauman 1141 10 $3,815 11 4 Cody Bauman 1125 10 1 $4,250 THOSE 2 COULDN'T GET OUT OF THEIR OWN WAY UNDER UMP RULES JUST SAYING

that may be true, but....

isn't racing about having fun?

[old fan]

and your point kinda hard to have fun when have to travel for every show ,my big question who in the hell will pay that purse

[x5lives]

Maybe you can ask the Bash Bros why they chose USMTS. Believe it has to do with the high cost of UMP mods, poor teching, and the opportunity to race for more money on the USMTS circuit. It may be hard for someone in UMP country to understand, but they have never been at the forefront of modified racing. Yeah, those might be strong words.....

Just a thought.
If Scott and or Jimmy make the a-main what are the chances they have a top 5 / top 10 finish?
Be willing to bet they test the cars before they get to the track.
