      I new after the World Finals interview he was done with Durham, mentioned it on 4m and a bunch of people laughed me off. Looks like my hunch was correct.

        Well he did have the Durham logo pulled from his website and I believe on the car before the World Finals. I thought maybe he might go to Clements.

          Is Custom still up on the technology? I knew they kinda fell off the face of the Earth. Just like Vic Hill. I’m talking about late models, I know Vic is into the off road stuff as is Pro Power.
          Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

            Maybe custom is doing what Durham is doing. All parts comes from Yates and they will assemble them. Yates does all machine work. any body can order a complete motor from Yates just not assembled.

              I think there is more to this story than we know......Bloomquist helped put Durham on the map in the late model world. It just doesn't make sense to me?????

                I would have to believe the engine woes that have bitten quite a few running Durham have at least something to do with it along with anything else. Supposedly Durham was using old parts in new builds. No idea if that's true or not.

                  custom is as good or better than all of them out there, never been out powered with them, service is seconded to none, and I've have dealt with most of them, scott ran them years ago, I'm sure he wouldn't go back if he thought there was an issue, good luck to both

                    Nothing would surprise me. A buddy of mine in 95 was running Artgo series with an engine builder out of Wisconsin, they never touched the motor, well it blew up at Lebanon and they got a wild hair and tore into it that night and couldnt believe some of the stuff they seen in their high dollar piece, used,stock,junk parts..I mean my buddies were not very fabricator, engine savy, and im sure companies pick and choose their customers carefully, but they had nothing but a fancy boat anchor...

                      Man what a crappy comment to make without any proof. This why business people hate the internet.

                        I said I don't know if it's true or not. Just repeating what others have said.

                        Not as bad as other stuff I've heard.

                          He's put several companies on the map thru the years. Mastersbilt, Cornett, Custom, Warrior, Ford, etc.
                          This is nothing new for Black Sunshine.
                          I was a highwayman
                          Along the coach roads I did ride
                          With sword and pistol by my side
                          and I am still alive

                            I doubt he uses old parts . I just see him as an engine assembler who hasn’t paid his dues unlike a real engine builder like jack cornett or Glenn Clements or many others
