    Ok.... But why is everybody so concerned on the fact he has one? Honestly who cares.

    When Bowyer was running Roush Yates motors. They went to the engine dyno on more than one occasion.

      Google some of these sponsors you see on racecars and see what type of businesses they
      Actually you did.

        Engine dynos are way more commonplace. And easier access. We will eventually get to the point that Bloomer was a 7 post machine. But, weekly LMs will be completely gone by that point.

          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.
          hQUOT

          He was DQed for tires I do believe actually. Its really not that big a deal. The man is just as good at mind games as he is in the seat.

            I had a dirt late model on a seven post in 2000. Again these guys are way way behind, but you hicks think it is cutting edge...

              So you went back to a topic almost 6 months ago where I suggested someone to use Google in regards to what some of these race teams are supported by???

              And that in some way is me just using google all the time??

              Troll on.....brother. Lol

                You are probably right. If bloomer has the money to purchase a rig. Then by all means he can go right ahead. There are stretches he still struggles and stretches he dominates. Just like before without the rig.

                    imagine that you might a think a chassis builder might need that pull down rig also

                      Yes they are. LM cars have been in/on every piece of equipment available to NASCAR.

                        I am one of those people that believes the pull down rig is of limited usefulness, but Bloomer is in the infancy of using it. So who knows?

                          There will never be parity in racing no matter how hard people try to make it that way, you can't make drivers use 50% or even 75% of their talent to even the field, guys like Bloomquist are always ahead of the game or you get behind

                              Racing is expensive, How Fast do you want to go?

                              Is it cost saving when Longhorns are built on CAD through an engineering program? Guys just aren't buying tubing and a bender anymore and welding it

                              I'd be more interested in finding out who took this photo and how it got "leaked".
                              GRT built cars using engineering programs back in 1995 using stress analysis and the works...
                              Rayburn used D!ck Anderson(Engineer) of Carrera shocks to design the canti-lever suspension in 80's.

                              And yes it is cost saving to use CAD to design fixtures and race cars instead of costly trial and error. Doesn't mean it'll work better though, but the odds improve. Super Late Model is the elite end of the spectrum, its expensive and will only get more so as time marches on. Racers should focus more on learning how to attract sponsors and being smarter about suspension instead of crying and moaning for rules to force the rest of the world to race on their budget. When did racers quit trying to come up with their own ideas instead of just buying one. The same mentality keeps people on welfare and food stamps, buck up and be what an American use to be, instead of a giving in to a social assistance mindset.

                                Some people (Bloomer) work for what they have, and others pull the Slipping Jimmy routine on St. Louis sidewalks when they're not posting 300 times a day on here dogging someone else's success.
