      Doesn’t take much talent to run the top. You have a slot car on a track and occasionally you jump track. Takes talent to run smooth laps with the car straight within a 10th or two for 100 laps. On the other hand, it doesn’t take many brain cells to watch the car in front of you drive away on the cushion and you make excuses why it isn’t the place to be. Scott will only run a cushion if the track has really slicked off or there isn’t a guardrail to hit in case of a mistake. Maybe his cars are always too tight?? Who knows! Bobby is the best in the business up there. Hats off. Kid is going to be tough for many years!

        If a team can afford him to keep racing with as hard as he is on equipment. Idk if I'd say he's the best on the cushion, Babb is def up their. Babb runs whatever line the car an track gives him an does it well.

          For 3 or 4 laps maybe, but not like it did for 40 laps. Think he just ran it to hard. and it poped

            They say a motor runs its best right before it blows. We were smelling it in the stands for a good 30 laps.

            What an absolute ass whipping he was laying to the field. Before the Bronson caution he had over a half track lead.

Ole Dopey said he pretty much didn't see that he had much competition during pre race interviews and he was behind by almost 11 seconds, uh yeah, smoke another one. you were getting your azz handed to you!!!

                If Bloomer ran the top would that "doesnt take much talent to run the top" logic still apply?

                  one of the greatest dirt track driver ever Ralph Earnhardt always said most races are won at the shop . I never seen the man open the hood at the track. If Scott and Cody was working there ass off it meant they were struggling. Sometimes you know the car is the best you going to get it so you don't touch it.

                        so his motor was about ready to blow up for 78 laps?

                          I can tell you guys tonight, anyone that was at I-80 can tell you... Bobby Pierce’s team got what they deserved... he was entering the corners at well over 9000rpm... which means there was no chip... and Bob Pierce has been ksnown in the past to pull the chip in order to give Bobby that little extra umph... and tonight was no different. The 32 was literly entering the corner and everyone on the front stretch could hear Bobby’s cranked out engine well above everyone else’s engine... it was insane!!!!

                            Sounds like Bobby needed a gear one or two higher. That would have knocked the RPMs down 1-200...

                              if they got what they deserved it would been a win. that's what being young with talent is all about running on the edge sometimes it pays off sometimes not so much. As he gets older he will putt putt around the bottom or middle and we will say he never hammers the top anymore now drives like the 0 how boring!
