    I may of got that turned around then, Friday nights qualifying, and a non factor in the hear races... I was tuning in and out all 4 nights. What i seen was a 16.8 i think and qualified 44th or something, it was horrible.

    Just say no...

        I didn’t know he also had the issues going on at home. That would be a tough recipe for any of us to cook all in the same meal.

          New to the forum but deep in the sport here. I think Scotts injury forced him to miss keeping up with the times. The time off last year dis major damage at keepi g up with the speed. He was more focused on avoiding the rough spots and getting the car across the bumps smoothly because of the pain. He will never dominate again but we all have to agree the man will find a way to win a few more. Time for the retirement party really. Cody calls the shots now and Scott has to follow the mans directions from a business point of view. Scott has to find a way to sell hundreds of cars soon to support himself and family. Thats my opinion

                I though he says he has everything paid off (I guess pending the divorce situation)

                    Well, Bloomer was finally interviewed about his Eldora Performance. Kind of interesting, although you do not come away with the feeling that he is going to be able to fix his car problems any time soon.
                    Did seem to deny any Physical problems as an excuse.

                        Interesting read, on DoD, as TS FAN pointed out. The surging on the straightaways, his Custom RY45s are usually brutes and you can see it on the track, i had thought he may of been down on power.

                        As for all the other Issues, i am sure he can fix them, but as a whole the Team Zero cars seem to be behind. Droop rule, or whatever something is a miss.

                        I know people say they had x number of cars in the top whatever, but i can tell you this, to a guy like Bloomquist only winning matters, and until then they are off the pace.

                        Just say no...

                          What did the DoD interview have to say?

                            Basically that they thru a water pump belt via bottoming out, been there done that, and by the time they get that fixed they we're behind on working on the chassis handling. Then switched Motors and had a surging issue, fuel or igntion who knows. He also commented that he thought something was bent or out of whack on the car, and was headed home to tear it down and find the problems.

                            He also said he had no concerns, wasnt worried about it, that it was just racing.

                            Just say no...

                                Lot of stuff going on the past 8 months. Once stuff gets sorted out. I'm going to say 2021 could be a big year...
