          Huh, I agree with pretty much everything said on Bloomer in here. Though I think he could still win a championship (NOT THIS YEAR), if he could get his act together.

          Either that or run an outlaw schedule, because what he’s doing now is a joke.

          And yeah, it doesn’t seem like any of the top three want it. But JD has pretty much sealed the deal.
          Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

            Bloomer needs to start mass producing the cars and going to a schedule where he runs Eldora's biggies, and all of the 20k and up shows on both tours and that's literally it.

              I would agree with that WoO would be better schedule. But most WoO off wkends are Lucas big money events. Scott not going miss them big checks, he might come late but he not going miss it tho. I wouldn’t mind see him cherry pick all the 15k+ events and mostly run southern regional events. Heck might be better he can go week ahead at a track testing that has big money event the following week. The schedule Scott, erb jr, jimmy run are young man schedule.

                Shoulda clarified, I mean Outlaw the way Bayko did. No series racing.

                  It does seem a little under the radar this year. He’s won 8 or 9 events and the Silver Dollar but that’s about it. Couple years ago when they did it they were on fire winning like 9 in a row at one point and was winning all the big shows too. Seems like this year they’re concentrating on finishing every race strong and aiming for the points tittle. I think Bloomer won Lucas points one year only winning 5 events or something but finishing well all year and a lot of top 5s. With the level of competition on the Lucas tour you almost have to have the mindset of finishing each race strong instead of gunning for feature wins night in night out.

                    That’s only because of the year he had in ‘15.

                      Average finish is around 8th or so this year.

                        If Bloomquist is to keep racing on the level he wants to he needs to back out of it and hire a real Crew, and Crew Chief and run the operation like a Business. Which is going to cost him more $$ but, he would of pocketed that money back via winning.

                        Take a step back in the daily work of the car and tires and other preparations, and pay professional acting people to do it properly. That rag tag outfit he has now is not cutting it, i watched 3 of them try to put a tire on the LR of his Car in FLA this year and it looked like 3 Monkeys humping each other.

                        Just say no...

                            It is because he won’t let go of control. He obviously cannot handle it all and doesn’t have enough help. So restructuring, getting a real crew chief and maybe one other really good crew guy. And then people at the shop to oversee the SB cars. Him doing it all isn’t working. Train wreck.

                                He still has 3rd place in points wrapped up. Gettin beat by unlimited landers and Martin money and another rocket house car with healthy budget. Scott will never be organized never has been even with Tommy Hicks was a lot of last minute stuff but things were different then. This year a lot of their problems stem from the failure of Disco hauler which obviously was a mistake. Switchin from different haulers 3 or 4 times cause of lot of late problems. Cody and Scott are a killer duo. Problem is they can't find good guys who can keep up to their schedules and craziness. Everybody on here thinks it is so easy to find good help. If it was they would have it. Scott does his own tires a lot cause he knows what he wants and not many are good enough at it or want to do it. Filthy job it is.being a crew member full time on a Dirt late model is not an easy job. Everybody think it is but try it 24/7 and find out. Zero does the best he can but still manages bit of casino action and a bit of crown here and there.Guy likes to have fun too. Lately motor issues have crept in. He was stupid fast all nights in Knoxville but had power issues fri sat. Everybody wants him to do this or do that if he did what would all of you have to talk about. Remember won dream and show me and other races with no crew as all of you say and still third in points. Everybody should be happy he runs with all these flaws otherwise be winning all of em don't u think. Dirt late model racing without all the zero drama b pretty boring I would say
