        Its like NASCAR. You have to keep up with the competition otherwise your just going to fall behind like Roush did. Every time there's a rule(s) change you have to get smarter and find ways around it. These chassis builders like Bloomer Richards, Rumleys and even maybe Lanigan have to get out during the week and practice to see what works and what to change. (Might be a bit different with Bloomer since his customer base is quite smaller). You can't just go put a dirt LM on a 7 post and get info off it. Not sure about other places but we have basically 6 tracks maybe 7 here in MI and I can think of 3 easily that have open practice during the week. 2 are on Tuesdays and I think the other is Thursday, might be Wednesday they change it weather depending. A couple others if you call a day before you might be able to get on it the next day. When we were going for a championship (not in LM) the last month of the season once a week we were at the track for practice. We never EVER hot lapped.

          Probably bloomquest way of playing minds games again. You can run a chain what's preventing you from taking a empty shock tube and running a chain through it and put heims on both ends . Mind games

            Lol. I'm so sorry I didn't jump on the Bloomer hatein bandwagon. Not sure what part of if it's true he should be DQued is hard to read, but apparently some people, you, cannot read very well. Where are you when it's time to call out the ones who ball gag on JD, Pierce, Boggs etc, when they do dumb stuff? Oh wait, you just have a little chubby for Bloomer, so we gotta go after him, or his fans. I put it in caps for you this time so you can read it maybe.

            IF HE RAN A THIRD SHOCK HE SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED. Disqualified and DQued mean the same fyi. Carry on with your promises.
            Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

              It is a shock tube. There is another other component to it though and it does have a purpose other than just a chain.

                ok, the pic that was posted was cropped, I saw the screenshot of the complaint sent to LOLMS, the complaint was sent by a woman named _____ Rumley Purvis, (can't remember the first name) the screenshot was on the "fans of Scott Bloomquist " page and in the photo posted, JD's car was below Scott's and it clearly looked like they both had almost the exact same set up, the woman was accusing Lucas of showing favoritism to Bloomer and seemed to be really upset about it, anyway.... the post wasn't up long before it was taken down, there were claims that he doesn't get tech'd pre race, but photos of Lucas officials half way up inside the rear fender wells of his car seems to clear that myth up.

                  Its only a shock if its valved to control rebound or compression. This is only a shock body and shaft with an internal bumpstop to control droop. You control the droop by screwing the cap off and adding bumpstop shims. You could do the same thing with a simple chain setup, but then there wouldnt be a whole thread on here about it and everybody wouldnt be whining about it. Thats why he does stuff like this. while everybody's looking at the alleged 3 shocks, somewhere else on the car he's getting away with murder. MISDIRECTION!

                            Lucas oil official had his eyes closed when up under scotts car.The pics were taken by a top winning team.
                            Lucas official said they messed up by letting it thru.

                              Why not just post that "top winning teams" name. If they have the time and balls to have a photographer, team member, or family member take photos for them to start crap with other teams and the series they should have the balls to step up and take credit for doing it.
                              Why did this same "top winning team" not have the "balls" if they were so sure they were wronged to step up to the series that night with their "spy photos" and make the claim then??
