    Exactly. Be one ugly stacker with sliding axels. Not all nice and tight fenders.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

      QUOTE CnB: If Scott had one built by someone who doesn’t build them, and they went heavy, it adds up. And any other special crap he wanted in it.

      Now we know the real reason why the clock and gps was left off the build sheet!

          Yep. If that thing really is around 90k, which I believe outta Russ, doesn’t post much, but when he does it’s good, that’s insane. Be crappier fuel mileage than pretty much any hauler. Sure could use a good Garmin.

          At least he isn’t in TMac’s CDL predicament though.

            I am assuming that is loaded to go racing at that weight. That could be some of the problems with the floors buckling and stuff. Just seems like a bad deal all around. Not sure about exact weght, but did hear the overweight issue has been the top issue from people that have inside knowledge.

                OK, I'll bite! You resurrected a thread from over six years ago to highlight something about a prominent national engine builder. Spill the beans, who is it and what did they do? In the interim, I get the popcorn ready to go...

                  The one real benefit I got from the long Bloomer thread was it encouraged me to find how to ignore/block. Got a couple on that list with I'd bet more to come. I'm certain I'm on others list. Doesn't bother me at all. U do U kinda thing right up till the conspiracy crap starts. Instant block/ignore. Ain't got time for that stupidity.

                    Frank Williams would take an old chassis back, put a new powder coating on it and sell it back to the same person as a new chassis. Managed to get to F1 treating people like that.

                      When did Frank Williams ever sell cars to other teams/drivers?

                        When he was driving F3 he was also a spare parts guy and would go around Europe delivering chassis and engines.

                          Back to the topic on hand I would be absolutely willing to bet money that this happens a fair bit.
