And STILL ......

[CageFaraday]

cage, can ya' be just a bit more specific in reference to the "g.o.a.t." thing?

(G.O.A.T.) Greatest of all time.

[CIRF]

Greatest Of All Time(GOAT), in a late model.

Thank you for expanding and clarifying the "G.O.A.T." thing as being specific to dirt late models. You'll get no dissension on that point from me or anyone else who has the least bit of background in DLM racing.

Kyle Larson really has no bearing on this particular point. Although he has proven many times he can win in anything he drives from go-carts to the highest levels of prototype sports cars and stock cars. But, when a man is considered the best driver that's ever been, as is considered to be fact in reference to bloomy in most DLM racing circles, he probably could/should be able to win in a DLM other than his own. Or is that an unrealistic expectation? If it's unrealistic I'll gladly digress.

Why go use a diff race car? How does jd fair. When Kevin isn’t setting his car up?

[CIRF]

Ahhhh. You make a very good point. That aspect raises just a few questions regarding the whole G.O.A.T. thing.

[Cardirt0]

He Maybe loved and Hate more then most. But he can Kick A$$ in a LM Just how it is. Live with it.

[Mason87]

Didn't he drive other chassis brands through out his career. So he has driven other cars and won right? Or did he just start winning when he started his own chassis?

Gary, if that's directed at me then I must say I'm with you 100%. I've enjoyed watching bloomy race and win since the 1980's and have nothing at all against him. From a personal standpoint a proper and objective perspective is best maintained. Unfortunately, that doesn't always make for fair and balanced conversation.

We lets see, Bloomquist has won races in these brands:
Rayburn
Mastersbilt
Warrior
Barry Wright
Zero

add to that he's won with different suspension designs too: Mono-leafs & coils, 4-link and Swing arm

Bloomquist isn't just a driver, he is a racer. What i mean is, he can do it all. I realize in open wheel that the cars are all so very similar that switching back and forth from brand to brand is less of an issue, but in DLM there is so much more that matters is regards to setup and design. Bloomquist not only is a legendary wheelman, but a superb setup man, a designer and strategist. Sprints run short races by nature and tend to be more rewarding to pure bravado, but most DLM crown jewels run longer races and require more than just laying the accelerator to the mat and throwing sliders for 30-40 laps. I'm not insulting sprinters, you know I love non-wing sprints, but it is a different style of racing. I know Bloomquist can win in any car, but not necessarily with just any setup under it, no one can.

Not just you to all on here. Love or hate him hes good at what he does.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but bloomy has always drove racecars that he personally owned and was integrally involved in the preparation and maintenance of those racecars.

Yes, see above list. That's what makes him goat, only Moyer can be mentioned in same category.

Take it easy, you'll upset his bootlickers. They don't like it when the truth smacks them in the face. Notice how the crowing isn't nearly as loud today after the greatest ever put on a clinic last night?

There's no one better than Bloomquist at Eldora. Undisputed king of that place.

[SHOE32]

Did anyone read the article from Kyle Bronson about him going to Bloomers shop to get his new cars ready. Bronson is one tough s.o.b but even he said he needs to step up his commitment after seeing first hand how long Scott stays up working on his cars. He said his usual hours of shop time were nothing compared to the hours he witnessed Scott putting I down there. That's why he is so good. Hard work.

[Cardirt0]

Will Little Bobby if getting better and Better in his car. I see him as the next driver to hit it big. Hes in only his 2nd car not of the same name. and not doing bad in it. When he gets the car going like he wants look out.

[Illtsate32]

I actually like Scott and his attitude, if your the best (and he is), nothing wrong with letting people know it from time to time, its a few of the bloomer bots on here, and I call em bots they may as well you will never put a face to them, that cast Scott in a negative light for people who really dont have an opinion one way or another about him. Constantly trying to act like they are giving you knowledge on something that if you have ever been involved with dlm racing, has been blatantly obvious for the past 25-30 years...
