[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

I thought the ZERO's win was amazing. However, I just don't get it. When you watch his crew at a major event they sort of seem like a cluster. Is it all a show? Is TEAM Zero cheating as much as they can. Did SAM tech the car AFTER THE RACE? I saw SAM leaving immediately after the race. Scott isn't nearly as smart as Rumley and several others. Tons of drivers were saying Scott didn't take the piss test. So why was he allowed to race. Plus what the hell, he was allowed to race on pain killers?

So you are saying what? he kicked their ass's that badly drugged up? If that is the case them boys was lucky he was, if he wasn't he may have lapped the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) field !

I love how you say “ Scott isn’t nearly as smart as rumley and others “ lol lol those 12 eldora crown jewel victory’s would say otherwise ....

He knows what to tell his crew to change his car. Sorry if you did not get what i ment.

I wasn’t talking about you man, I was saying, since when was it a detriment to know everything there is to know about your car.

Larson can't win in every other sprint car. You know that, I know that and he knows that. That's a fact. But he can and has very often won in many different types of racecars on dirt, asphalt and an asphalt road course. And that also is a fact. Something ol' bloomy has never been able to do in spite of trying numerous times. Larson is also regarded as a more accomplished all around racecar driver than ol' bloomy, even given his young age. But that's a discussion for another time and topic.

No discredit whatsoever and it's not an argument. Please believe that. I've stated numerous times that ol' bloomy holds the distinction of unquestionably being the most successful driver of the generic dirt late model era. That my friend is also a fact.

Seriously ridiculous? Maybe. But is it unreasonable to believe that if a driver is excessively talented and successful enough to be considered the best of all time in any given genre of racecar that he could win races in another drivers' equipment given his setup is in place? If he's the undisputed best driver of all time he's surely capable of winning regardless. Maybe not as much, but clearly capable, nonetheless. Right? I really don't see that as a knock or a downgrade and wasn't meant to be. It's just conjecture and trying to keep things in perspective. Sorry I made ya' mad.

Nah man. Just frustrated. I do like you, and the arguments you had against him, just seemed weird. He has won in UMP Mods, Asphalt Lates, and obviously dirt late models. Trucks he failed, as well as midgets. Trucks he outsmarted himself, and I don’t think open wheel stuff is his cup of tea.

4M is amazing. I'm a lurker here since I'm more of a winged sprint car fun but I like to keep up with the DLM's. I can't believe all the nasty sh** Bloomer gets. Steve Kinser and Sammy Swindell are lucky most of their careers occurred before social media so they didn't have to put up with this BS. Bloomer is the DLM GOAT; it's hard to argue otherwise. Who cares if he could drive someone else's car to wins? Wouldn't he get in the other car and change it to suit his driving ability? I don't see Donny Schatz using the Steve Kinser set up in his car unless that's what the track calls for. Kinser is the GOAT in the sprint car world (I think he is) but there is some debate out there. As with Bloomer, he had limited success on pavement, but his pavement racing didn't happen until his 40's, probably past the time he should have tried something new. Weak team, not enough laps in the car, unfamiliar with pavement - all factors. That doesn't diminish his GOAT status in winged sprinters. Could he have been successful? I like to think so but we'll never know. Larson, like very few others (Parnelli Jones, AJ, Tony Stewart) seems to be able to drive anything and win. He may never be the GOAT in anything, just (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) good in everything. These guys will probably be ranked higher than Kinser and Bloomer in the "all-time best driver" category. I've seen Larson race on dirt in sprint cars and midgets. He is one of those guys that can put it wherever he wants and carry a car that is not as good. He also seems to be fearless and be confident in his ability.

I've seen guys years ago run asphalt one night and win and the next night run the same car at a dirt track and win. You could race 3-4 nights a week both dirt and or asphalt combined.

All the nasty stuff is a derivative from pure jealousy, envy and some 3rd grade mentality thrown in there. They see a guy with long hair from Cali whipping the crap out of their whiskey running heritage and they dont like it one bit! Hehehehe.... Yeeeee haaaaaaw 😝

CnB I dont think the drive anything argument is even a thing. Our sport is a little unique in that aspect, Its like any other sport in that yes the object is the same across the board for racing but theres different genres...kinda like The Rolling Stones are arguably the best rock in roll band ever but would prob not be very good hip hop artists...you cant compare greatest, even though its same job you cant compare across the board, and I dont think with 5 or less starts in a car you can draw any kind of conclusion of sucess or failure...and im saying this in general nothing directed at you...

Now start over and try to make just one correct statement, besides the first one, that is!!!!!

Oh, I agree. You know what I do for work. I’d rather be the best loader operator on a pipe crew, than be a guy who can run almost anything, and be mediocre at them all. In saying that, I can run almost anything, but I have one piece that is my best. How I feel about racers too.

[Illtsate32]

CnB exactly...
