You have to realize the work ethic he puts in... As it was, extra time for any team is hard to come by, and add this in, well, forget what sleep was like. Most people will bltch about privilege, but this is just more proof that sew=reap, and he and the team work harder than anyone else.
      IMO your exactly right. This is what he does for a living not a hobby. Whatever your profession is you want to be the best at all costs. It's nothing more than buying equipment for your company to help increases production or understanding your product to make it better. To him it's an investment in his business to have a more succesfull product. He puts in more time than just about anyone in the sport. You can't fault someone for trying to be the best at their profession and how they make a living.

          Since he does work with Roush and Penske plus builds his own cars its likely that he would have a dyno in his shop. Longhorn is Labontes creation and using a CAD to build theirs. Its only fair lol. Yes its not cheap but winning isnt either
          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!!!

            And he has 2 of them. Like rumley said #cheaperthanspringrods

                Cutting edge technology it's not... More exspense for the racer, yes.

                  Moving along....
                  See that little spring nationals sticker on the wing? Scott had never ran a spring nationals race until the 15k to at smokey mountain this year. This isn't a old pic.

                    I though the same thing when I posted earlier and looked it up. He has raced in a few spring nat races over the years. Though. At least one every year

                      That could be. That sticker is in the same spot as the car he won with at smokey mountain. I couldn't find any pics of him at others.

                        A quick little search revealed he ran several races in 2014. Wasn't he DQd for one in 2015? I know he got thrown out of a Ray Cook race semi recently.

                        That's not really the point..... All it is another pic put out there to troll you guys..... Remember the 3rd shock deal (lol). He's probably had that pull down rig for years. Now people find out because of a pic and they wanna have all these hot takes. Meanwhile Bloomer is just laughing.

                              He got it after the 2015 season was over, that is the 2nd version of it
