We all view it differently based on our region and the generation of racers we grew up with.. I was born in nov 81... My first dirt race was November 81. 411, atomic, smoky mtn, tazewell, Bulls gap, Cleveland were my racetracks. For some reason as a child I always booed bloomquist bc he was like a Villian. The older I got the more I realized he wasn't an evil bad guy he was just an awesome racer and probably the best in the country.. Right down the road from me in moorseburg.. I'm from Sevierville. Rick eckert, Mars, panic an, f smith, Scott sexton, billy ogle.. All those guys where big and great but it really feels like bloomquist is number one all time from my generation 81-current

This is a easy one! Moyer!! Bloomquist's conviction has to affect his ranking! And to the Bloomquist lovers who are going to bash me for saying this hey it's part of his career!

So would Billy's indiscretions also be part of his career????Originally posted by IN THE KNOW View PostThis is a easy one! Moyer!! Bloomquist's conviction has to affect his ranking! And to the Bloomquist lovers who are going to bash me for saying this hey it's part of his career!
If we are talking racing career, then I'm not sure it's fair to bring in the private affairs( no pun intended) in judging the racing careers of either.
JmoWhere is the move over flag when you need it?????

Oh yea the morals clause in LM racing deducts a couple hundred feature wins from the record books.....I almost forgot.Originally posted by IN THE KNOW View PostThis is a easy one! Moyer!!

I actually have a letter from Scott that was written to me after I mailed his fan club asking him about it... You know what? They actually took the time to write some kid (me) loosely explain the situation and give me some autographed pictures! I thought how awesome! I'll try to find that letter I have it somewhere!

Where would somebody like Schrader fit into this question???
I know he isn't the best ever, but for somebody to do what he does year in and year out has got to account for some recognition.
Bout the only thing he hasn't raced and won in is paddle boats.Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

i agree, its just gonna be weird not seeing swindell in a sprint car this season..Originally posted by Dante Toledo, OH View PostI am happy that i grew up at the right time to really appreciate Moyer, Bloomquist, Kinser, Swindell. Because when those four are gone for good, i doubt it will be the same.

I would compare him more to Barry Bonds, or Roger Clemens. Maybe Lance Armstrong. He is pretty arrogant. He has been caught cheating, suspended, busted for drugs, etc. but, he has a great record. But so do the fellas i compared him too.Originally posted by IZZOJR16 View PostBloomquist the Babe Ruth of dirt late model racing.Go Buckeyes!!!

Careful Dante, the long knives come out when the D-word is used in the same paragraph with the name Snort Bloomquist. Hehehehe!
Someone set me straight if I'm mistaken but wasn't Snort married for a short time prior to his present state of marital bliss?
