        The funny part was Sheppard weighed 2425. No need in cutting it so close. Heck, Babb weighed 2390 after his B main in the other Zero car. McDowell was just over 2400. Didn’t seam to slow him down.

            Yeah, Tony has always been a bit of a drama queen. However, in this case, I think it's just poor management. Let's just be honest, Tony is not Earle and he just doesn't know how to promote and manage the way Earle did. It was Earle who made Eldora what it is. Let's just hope Tony doesn't wind up completely destroying all of what Earle accomplished. Tony was a pretty good race car driver. But this is a whole different ball game and he simply isn't suited for it. For one thing he lacks the proper temperament. As such his decisions are often more emotionally motivated and in business, that's often very bad.

              Looks to me like tony has done a pretty good job he has had it I believe 15 years built all kind of new buildings had a record crowd at the world last year earl sold it to tony cause he wanted it to go on he actually turned down more money to sell it to tony now he is starting to raise the purse for late models an sprints.

                Their talking about bloomquist. Tony has virtually nothing to do with the day to day operations at eldora. That mans name is roger slack and he seems to be doing a pretty good job. Furthermore all decisions about the race and its participants are made by the sanctioning body. This is why sam driggers and about five other dirtcar officials were standing around those scale things that tony rigged to make bloomer light

                  Trying to blame Tony for Scott being light is a riot. And then to say he doesn't have the temperament to manage is something else. Besides Eldora he has a series and that little thing called a 4 car cup team that seems to be pretty successful.

                    The only person to blame on this is Bloomer himself. You can make all the excuses you want but, the buck stops with Bloomer.

                      Can you imagine the uproar that would have happened if Scott lite the red light on the scales, and the officials said “that’s close enough, he is legal”?! Good God. I’m a Bloomer fan, but he has to race under the same rules everyone else does.

                        Just for the record Tony was racing his sprint last night at Stateline Speedway.

                          Say what you want but Eldora has always enforced their rules pretty fairly across the board. Doesn’t matter who you are if you break the rules you get penalized. That is all you can ask for from the officials Babb is my favorite and he lost the World for being light. It just is what it is. I’d rather it be this way than for the track to play favorites depending on who you are.

                            when they restarted the 5th heat bloomquist came out late. earl had a rule that if you were not in line for your heat, you would not race. I remember him turning back a few cars in those days. bloomquist was lucky even to race.

                              Scott shot himself in the foot, end of story. Given his past history he will be along soon to blame everyone except himself.
                              I hate time trials.
