    Both appear to b checking tire wear. Common occurrence on pit stop. Zero comes in and turns into a large crowd of gawkers quickly

        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

          AGREED!!!! If it weren't for Baker, I wonder how many cars they'd sell based merely off of Mark's sub-par attitude?

              Agreed fastford. Yes they do, but it's in the special section dedicated to a certain car.

                        You never go up and hit or push someone unless you are ready for the same in return......same could be said about looking up under someone's car uninvited I guess.

                            Many many years ago. Before rocket was ever thought ahout. Myself and a friend off mine dropped in at the Rodney Combs, Mark Richards shop. They were selling cars back then I don't remember if it was under Ed Howe's name or what ? But, sitting there in the shop was the car for the world 100 at eldora. Anybody remember the hand clutch that was in the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pit of the #5 ? Told you long time ago, lol. Well the car was sitting there on a set of 4 grain scales. Mark was outside helping someone load a car up. So, my buddy decides he wants to see what the #5 weighs. Well all I'm going to say his Mark walked back in and I thought we were in for a disagreement of epic proportions. Pissed. He walked around that car moving the grain scales back to zero and told us by the time he came back around we better be gone. LOL. They took it, along with another car to the world 100, it was a lite car I do not remember what the weights were on 3 of 4 scales. That hand clutch deal, it was hydraulic, gave them fits. Thats my mark Richards story from wayyyy back.

                              Looking under cars, having track photographers paid to take pictures of a car, all this is nothing new. Looking at a rear tire happens all the time and from what's on that video, that's what it looks like the guy was looking at. There are a few secrets in the late model world and you can bet, you can't just look under a car during a pit stop and see them.

                              I helped a team once that had a Rocket and was a pretty successful venture and I remember guys in the pits walking by and looking at everything on the car all trying to figure out what we were doing. I even told a guy that had the same model car as we did what exact springs, shocks and setup we had on the car and he actually told me that the stuff we were running would not work and I told him it was taken right from the Rocket Setup book. Sometimes people are to worried about the trick stuff and overlook the simple things.

                                Soft spoken, tougher than a two dollar steak.........not many would want to fool around with that combo.
