    Never said they took his shocks someone else did. They banned the penski cross over shocks and the electronic adjustments. Looked better in his heat race

      Would the Lucas Oil Series really wait until the opening night of speedweeks to make a rule change about shocks or any major component of a race car? I highly doubt if they would.

        I doubt Lucas Oil would take away anything that will make the car handle better and run FASTER ......This sport is called RACING......l0l

          Not a Bloomquist fan by any stretch, but other than Jeff Purvis. Hes the best ive ever seen throw it down. Shocks CAN make or break anybody on any given nite, but to hammer someone for a sub par performance on one nite is a bit over the top. East Bay is a hole. I wouldnt judge anybody on that surface. Good grief. Come on.

            Haha ok. Sorry. I thought i read they were at East Bay. Its been a long day. I own a barbershop, and this site is the only thing i know of that rivals the BS i hear everyday in my job.

                  Ride height, it's ok there are many opinions on this site and very little truths, such as the thread you are posting on.

                      Ross is from Clover SC. Has been very successful in crates & 525 class. Just like a lot of other good racers just needed a shot at racing with the big guys. Baird trucking has given him that opportunity on a trial basis. He's no joke young man can wheel a race car. Just needs a little luck now.

                        First, I have a ton of respect for Scott and his enginuity. Facts are this. He ran a formula one style shock last year at Charlotte. He could adjust remotely from an I Phone. Shocks were $7000 a piece. WOO really didn't have a rule in place to boot him out. They let it go. They told their drivers over the winter that these shocks would be outlawed for 2015. Scott did nothing wrong. He was playing in the gray area again. Ask any of the WOO drivers. You will get the same explanation.

                            No, they were F-.5 shocks and they are $92,000/each. Instead of shock fluid, he runs unicorn semen, virgin tears, and what used to be Billy Moyer's hair. True story.Facts, huh? Where you gettin them thar facts from, shipdit?

                              Unicorn semen? I like it
                              Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.
