    Are those the guys that kicked everybody's azz that year using some tired old car souped up by a contraption made of bailing wire and duct tape?

    And then the series banned duct tape or something like that?Seems like I remember something about it.
    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

        Would be even more impressive if a driver could “do it” all on his on,,,,,,, oh yea that washed up ole hippie can???? Hahahaha I am a fan of both, but to often we forget not many drivers can do it all themselves like I use to be!

          "Nuff Said" 2014 World 100, Bloomer was sent to the back of the field after 20 some laps, came back to win by 7 seconds or so, Brian won 2006 Knoxville Nationals by getting spun or spinning out, don't remember how it exactly happened but had to go to the rear and came back to win also. You have been enlightened.

            In 2014 Bloomquist also had some ridiculously priced exotic shocks that were even outlawed by formula 1. Needless to say you cant run those anymore

                As did other drivers, and they were not illegal at the time. Same with the Rumley device. They were not illegal. Here comes the ball lickers about the difference, I don’t give a sh!t. Both were a big advantage, price isn’t always a reason to outlaw stuff.
                Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                  So do you want an asterisk next to that time for Bloomer, and for 2015 with JD?

                    Never said that cnb I think u came in after a few posts instead of reading everything. I was merely responding to Doc .

                    Comparing JD coming to the front from the back at Knoxville this year to Bloomquist doing it at Eldora with shocks that were so over priced that formula 1 outlawed them was the point I was trying to make.

                    Do I fault him for using them no, it was dang smart of him for doing it. You are right he wasn't the only one using them either . Darrell Lanigan hasn't looked the same since . He dominated WOO that year using them.

                    The Rumley device wasn't bought it was made and that's why so many got upset because they weren't smart enough to recreate it and make it work.

                    Both the shocks and the device now have their own page in the rulebook lol. Me personally I'm for innovation, I don't want the sport to turn into boring Nascar

If there was a race he was there so Arnie is letting him race and giving him great equipment. Probably setting him up to run the WoO series. Must have been more going on then just results for Arnie to give the boot to Shirley at midseason.
                      Larson has a ways to go but with time maybe.....Shirley had a dream deal and through it away.....his loss, Larson's gain. Shirley won't see that kind of support like Arnie gave him anytime soon and he doesn't deserve it.
