    Don't worry, we will be burning that new bloomer shirt again this year.

      great driver and they for sure have some things figured out but I don't see the team coming close to 2015... just to dominant to repeat IMO

        The rule book is now written to squash any winning streak attributed to any new approach. So I don't see how anyone could have a similar year.

              Correct, I believe the officials in this instance don't know what to make of what they saw, both under the car and on the track. Since they couldn't understand what they were seeing they opted to toss it for what I believe were political reasons. It's a new day and it'll be fun to watch some guys race who think 3 moves ahead. Asking the people who got beat if they like it, is redundant. Real leaders lead, they know when to move quickly and when to just let the storm pass. Hopefully in 2016 real leadership will emerge. And as far as why locals choose to sit out the touring events is probably a myriad of reasons, but I'm sure it wasnt because 1 specific team showed up. The guys at the top need to open their eyes to the reasons why the racers at the top are quiting, guys who are at the pinnacle of technology in the sport and still in their prime... I havent heard any of them mention the Rumley device is why they chose to quit or retire, not one..........

                I really don't think the left rear device was all of the 6 car's magic. It goes much deeper than that IMO. Watching the car, it seems they have hit on a balance of weight transfer, that compensates for traction available. I believe they still have a edge on the competition since there is always more than one way to skin a cat. I don't think they will have the year they had in 2015, because that would take quite a feat to accomplish for anyone. Everyone that watched, has to realize there was a bit of racing luck involved with their magnificent run, along with a performance advantage. Anyone that has competed for anything knows, when you get on a roll, it's hard to lose and when your in the dumper, it's hard to win. being a contender for a national title is very possible. A 20 win season, will be hard to beat, for anyone.

                    I agree with you completely in this post. Anyone who witnessed JD coming up, especially here on the GA/SC border tracks, really knew he was a cut above most. Now combine him with a focused Rumley & Co. and its the making of juggernaut team with limitless possibilities, but you gotta have luck too, especially when you love banging the cushion and threading the needle lap after lap.

                      Exactly correct......and besides, if the guy figured out something in 2015 he will figure out how to have the optimum advantage he can legally have in 2016 too.

                      You can ban parts but you can't ban smarts people.

                      And to the guy that said only. SOME of the over the line threads get deleted versus others, your exactly right.

                        I dont think that they targeted the team just the device(gadget as some have called it) but since only one team had it its only being derived as targeting JD and Rumley. Somebody will come up with something to be banned for next years rules. It keeps going and going and goi... lol
                        If I havent offended you please be patient Ill get to you as soon as I can...... and yes Im a Bloomquist fan...deal w it!!! WWG1WGA!!!

                          I just wanna see how not only that team adapts to it but how others will. Plus lets see if JDs attitude changes or has he really matured as a person

                            Go talk to him and or hang out with him for a little while and see for yourself.......none of them are unapproachable.

                              And for what it's worth, there are a lot of threads still active that have spiraled into the abis ...certain names or topics get mentioned and they get removed, yet others stay.

                              I understand why, but let's not insult anyone's intelligence to say otherwise guys........certain names are off limits, everybody gets it.

                              If the Rumley/Davenport team is really that strong..........Kevin will find a way to make his cookie cutter go faster than the next Lucas guys cookie cutter, and Jd will find a way to drive it in deeper and make it stick.

                                Bbqboy is so correct in this statement. Like I have said on numerous occasions I'm a Bloomer fan. But My friends and I partied with JD and crew at 4 different tracks. And I mean in the hauler. All we did was laugh our a$$ of every time. He himself couldn't believe the year he was having. Needless to say my friends and I enjoyed our selves and look forward to 2016 and meet up with JD and crew.
