    Kind of opening Pandora's box here. Not the first time someone has jigged a car, but there's always been "an honor amongst thieves" mentality. Running and telling someone exactly what to look for opens you up to having the exact same thing done to you down the road. Not to mention it's just a b!tch move.
    If Bronson didn’t have a rich uncle no one would hire that guy to drive. The ultimate silver spoon, with sticky fingers to boot.

      Seems odd that Mark would stoop that low and put his and Steve's reputation on the line. Rocket already builds a top of the line piece and has had very good drivers in thier house car. And they somehow feel the need to pull this stunt. I'm sure they're was probably some kind of compensation behind it.

      Bronson's stats haven't been any better in a Rocket than they were in the Longhorn. He at least won one Lucas event with it. He seems to be one of those guys that has a big following and can move some merchandise but can't back it up come feature time.

      I'm sure this thread will be deleted soon because it's anti rocket and that usually what happens

        I am a Weiss and Bloomquist fan but this falls all on Sweet Bloomquist race cars for not making a legal car in 2016. I do not know how it can be anyone else's fault. The race organizations need to be strict on all rules today to try to keep the cost down for everyone. In Lucas Oil, wasn't Steve Francis supposed to be the answer, since he knew the reason and quit racing because of the high costs of keeping up?

          I hope Francis missed this because he was looking for things that actually matter and/or drive costs up.

            Thank you ! I thought it was just me and reading everyone's blame for this , but why is no blame put on the chassis builder who built it illegal ? Am I missing something?


            If it was purchased knowing it was illegal then shame on him and you take your chances of getting caught . If it was purchased thinking it was a legal car and isn't then be pissed at nobody but the people who made it that way.

              Exactly my point in the other thread!

                I think the argument is more about someone having a grudge against someone else and having it go down this path (which was pretty cheap) rather than if the was the car legal or not.

                  MI Dirt Fan you are exactly right , but isn't that backwards ? Shouldn't racing a legal car be questioned more than who might be a snitch ? That's the problem with all of the soap opera crap that goes on here.

                    I agree with that but guys are always pushing the limits and grey areas of the rules. Remember when Lucas earlier this season had to out out a warning to not use Kevlar tire inserts. No one was technically caught. But something had to tip them off. Just a matter of time before you get caught.

                      This doesn’t make sense , Rocket chassis is the most successful business in the history of dirt track racing. They have built a fuc&ing empire building race cars , why would they waste their time on this ??

                        Maybe a globe is worth "the world" to Rocket?

                          Zero Dream/World wins and the chance to knock Bloomquist out of the running?

                            Im with ya sometimes I wonder if im all alone on some stuff, I could give a flip about Bronson or Richards but this trend these days to blame everyone else for stuff you should take accountability for is mind boggling..they are mad at the wrong people and completely missing it, this goes for racing and life in general...

                              If you want everyone running the same rule, you enforce the rules or eliminate the rules, you can't enforce. The old everyone cheats excuse is School yard BS. Two wrongs, don't make a right. There are a lot that cheat, but the low budget guy can't afford to replace cheated parts and are the victims here.

                              I'd say get rid of a lot of these rules and make expensive parts illegal. The Rumley devise was cheap and eliminating 2k 3k shocks was a better option. It just shows the mentality of these touring groups.

                              The tires are another deal. If everyone cheats and only 5 out of a 100 get caught, it's a bad rule or unenforceable. The rules makers should be banned and fined, because they earned that.

                                The low budget guy term is just as much old school B.S
