Folks always have their reasons for why they like/dislike or have criteria for which they form opinions of people. I’m not going to get into the side debate here. I think all of you have valid points. What is not debatable is the legend of Scott Bloomquist. I think Nathan hit on a lot of it. As I’ve said before, this part of Indiana is LM country, so I’ve always been a fan of them also. Been to World 100’s Dreams, summer Nationals. A constant has been Bloomer. I can’t say I’ve ever been polarized with him, but more like love him this week, hate him next. I can’t think of a bigger presence in dirt track racing, maybe Opperman. Not just his accomplishments but the aura around him. He was a giant in the sport. In my mind as far as LM’s go, I can only say that maybe Moyer is on his level of greatness. I wish I knew how to link the story but I urge you all to track down Dave Argabright’s blog on Dirt on Dirt and read his column on Scott. Even if you’re not a late model fan, it will provide context. Carbon fiber brakes or not Scott Bloomquist would belong on the Mt Rushmore of dirt track racing
