Bloomer

[Henry Every]

Id rather see Shane McDowell and Scott collaborate, revive the chassis business, and make the 17M the house car with all their sponsors getting behind 1 car......and kick some @$$

This makes more sense than the Mark Richards theory, which in my view would never have worked. I don't see how Scott needs Mark or Rocket, his cars are still top notch and he knows how to make them go fast. IMHO all he needs is a dependable crew to prep the cars and do the leg work. Lots of businesses have been struggling to get get fully staffed since 20'. He's had a lot of issues come together at once, some external, some self inflicted. The mistake was continuing to try and compete without being fully prepared and just middling. The streak he and Madden got on before the wheels fell off shows the potential of his cars, but he needs to get himself right and i know thats hard in your 50's(me too). In conclusion if Scott can get back 75% health and put together a little funding for next year or the end of 23' and rebuild the team, then I don't see why he cant run the events he wants to and focus on the cars for retirement. Its doable, if he still wants it. Who doesnt love a comeback? JMO

Good points Henry. I hope he can make it happen.

Got to have money and a watch to make it happen.

Henry is spot on with his post IMO…..I’m not even sure how both Scott and Marks head would even fit in the same room together.

And I’m a fan of one of em, but just don’t see those two egos playing nice.

[Henry Every]

Exactly my point, Barbeque. Most won't remember this but in 00' or 01' Bloomquist and GVS paired up and didnt make it thru speedweeks. He's always been independently minded, I think Barry Wright was the last one he got along with for any time, heck even his time at Warrior was... special and kinda partitioned off from everyone else, even those "Black Magic" cars weren't 100% what he was actually running. That and since Mark copied his frontend and sold it to the public, I just don't see a workable partnership there, from either side. Now Rocket has the "New Deal" anyway, so... IMHO.

Ed Howe and Randy Sweet is the connection your looking for Henry. Howe helped Richards develope the front end geometry and Sweet with his steering components had a hand in it also. If your looking for who benefitted the most on that deal it was definitely Randy Sweet. He and Scott made one heck of a combination. If you look back at the time line after his passing things started to sway with bloomer back then.

Bloomer cars went away because Scott can’t afford to keep building them. They’re not coming back.

[ZERO25]

Dont think they ever quit building them.

A new digitized Sniper just came off Brucebilts jig!

[Henry Every]

Well I hope they do, "Josh". Mainly because the sport needs him just to stir things up. We are all poorer without him and his cars.
