Bloomer looking for fabricators...

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Correction: the cars “may” be now built in Mooresburg?

"I do know Bloomer is not the easiest to work for. He demands & expects perfection."You don't think Mark Richards or anyone else doesn't?

[Barbecueboy]

The fact they are constantly looking and everyone there leaves quickly tells me everything I need to know about what they are paying ...

The irony in all of this is the same conversation can be had about about your racing if you replace the words" looking and paying" with the words "changing chassis and being competitive".

Yes, I would think Mark. Richards would expect perfection. Just saying after 35 years of being familiar with Bloomer- he “is not” easy to work for. It may change to some degree since Cody is now suppose to be the manager. Also- “maybe?” The fabricators are just that & not road team crew guys. I am not pretending to know anything!

Looking for world class fabricator. We might pay you.....

I'd like to know why they even post that. Everyone knows who are the good fab people and which one's are not. You would also think if there this desperate they would post a minimum wage.

I bet I can make a list of 5 to 10 names of guys who can make a beautiful chassis and you know zero of them.

there are alot of guys that can do nice work but you need to be able to feed the family too, and if you do this all week 7-5 daily, their not going to want to roll to the races every weekend

One guy jumps up in my mind. Nope. Nobody knows him. Just thought of a couple more. All I can really say is, if I was one of those guys.... no I wouldn’t want to go out there with what they’re offering it would absolutely be a pay cut.

MastersBuilt, I to know of a guy, he taught me how to weld. He also taught me the importance of triangular shapes and we're to place them for strength. I built my own chassis, with his help, for my 33 ford street rod.

There's guys out there, I don't thing that's a question. But you don't just toss a feeler out like that without more info and expect people to come running.

They just wanted people to know. We are growing, spread the word.

He might want to look in Washington DC, there are plenty there to pick from/smile

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Rocky, yes, I don't think Bloomer can offer enough to entice any of them.

Overall, it is difficult to find young people willing to work labor jobs in general. If you find someone older with experience, they are going to be expensive and may want medical benefits (family).

Young people with good experience in welding are now making $120,000 to $140,000 annually - more if they are top welders. Pretty tough to find a guy who wants to do dirt chassis that would want to work in those conditions for far less than what they can make in the open market.

Agree with previous posters... your better off finding a guy already in the business versus trying to bring someone in from the outside.

Love of racing don’t keep the lights on at the house.

Look at the crew bloomer has on the road with him now. They all look like a bunch of junkies
