      I'm sure they made sure they were legal.

        Why would his mentor not inform his grasshopper that the Car Ricky’s dad bought would not be legal at Eldora speedway? Talk about a failure to communicate. ( Ricky to Scott ( sir can we please buy a couple of legal new cars from you?? Just a shame. Now let’s check the 17 Mc Donald roll cage diameter. Too bad Bronson appears to be an unhappy past customer. Maybe he saw something on the “short” side?!

            Remember the old NASCAR trick where they built a car that was under scale size. HMMMMM

                Well they all went through tech and Weiss got caught. You know drivers are always pushing the limits and grey areas trying to find a little extra. Same thing with tires.

                  Drivers don't build roll cages.

                    So your saying the drivers have no idea what they're getting when they have a car built?

                      Roll cage tubing? No. They expect it to be right. That's all. And they sure don't modify it. Different tubing in the cage would effect the car. So that is why I would expect them all to be the same.

                      You are not going to order an xr1 and tell Mark Richards how to build your cage.

                        And I can’t see McDowell knowingly driving an illegal car.

                        Maybe Weiss was a sacrificial lamb for Bloomer to see if he could get away with it on a future trip. If that’s the case, I’d have talked to Richards/Longhorn/Stuckey before I left the track if I was him.

                          It says the car is a '16 with updates and he ran it at The Dream earlier and nothing was said.

                            That isn't something they normally tech.

                                Scene plenty

                                Lol. Bronson was just butt hurt that he didn’t end up with Scott’s car. Kinda the type not used to the word no. Hey Uncle, these XR1’s aren’t very good, ok Kyle, we will get ya some Weaver Longhorns. Hey Uncle, these Weaver Longhorns are icky, ok Kyle, we’ll get ya some SB cars. As a bonus, Scott is hurt, you can get his personal car. Never mind, magically healed, you can have a brand new SB car. But I don’t want that one, I want Scott’s. His is faster. Now Kyle, don’t ya think just maybe Scott might be a little better than you. No, I’m great, these Affliction shirts make me super fast. Ok Kyle, sell them, put some high schooler butt hurt message on Facebook, done.

                                How about some new XR1’s again Kyle, ok Uncle.

                                Scene plenty two know, Kyle I wouldn’t trust with anything, whatsoever.
                                Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.
