      I stand corrected, if "MasterSbilt_Racer" says Scott doesn't build cars anymore then I believe it. He's never steered me wrong before and usually knows what he's talking about.

        Didn't he not even really build the original Team Zero cars? Wasn't it the Brucebilt guy who actually built the cars?

          I thought the first 3 or 4 cars he built, after he hired that guy, and they built the cars at Bloomquists place there in TN. Now i wonder where there being built, i am guessing at Sweet's place.

          Just say no...

            True. He was the fab guy/welder.

              The first Bloomquist cars were built at Warrior to his specifications, then he moved production in house, at his own shop and collaborated on his first front end with the guy who started FAST chassis, who also had worked at Warrior, but I forget his name.

                I know for a fact. Bloomquist did have his cars built in his shop. When I went there several years back. They was working on building one. Not sure if he still has them built at his shop still?

                  I wonder how many cars someone like him has personally had for himself over the years.

                  He probly reads the forum for his daily funnies.

                    I don't think anyone here contradicted that.

                      I know. I will try to find out. Where he has them built at now. My buddy is a pretty good source.

                        I remember reading an article about Scott where he talked about how stiff his cars were and that he tended to race them for a while. I'd bet he has less personal cars than people think.

                          those FAST chassis were the lightest chassis ive ever seen, they were fast in the slick, but they seemed a little unsafe to me.....

                              I always wondered how many cars the top drivers, Bloomquist, Davenport, Richards, etc went through in a season? I just assumed they started the year with two brand new ones and unless they had a major crash which junked a chassis, they got two new ones again at the beginning of the following year. I know the top sprint car guys go through at least three or four cars a season.... Top late model teams....not so sure?

                                Don't think Dale's would be a Sweet/ Bloomquist as it was not built in Mich,it was built here in Tn at Bloomquist.
