holy fuk

I was always kinda scared to pry into the guys life. Maybe I should’ve talked to him more. He was a rad dude.

One of my uncles raced dirt track in Michigan in the 80s and 90s so I’ve been to a bunch of races but didn’t retain much other than I love sprint cars, haha.

My first race as a viewer was a dirt track as a kid. I just remember the dirt in the eyes.

Bloomquist wasn’t Reddicks crew chief. Reddick is from California and Bloomquist was a full time racer based out of Tennessee.

I’m curious who Pardeus is though.

I think we’re all getting confused here…lol…HJR says no way its him

[hjr2]

I’m on a DLM forum that’s being rebuilt at the moment, the guys there will likely know who was on Reddicks crew when he was driving a late model.

My 1st race was watching Bill Vuckovich III race sprint cars in Madera…got to sit in his car after the race…my friends mom used to babysit him

[hjr2]

Yup. They never said Scott worked for Reddick, only that they built his car at Scott’s shop and spent some time with him to learn about the car.

I remember when Reddick was racing dirt, he was like 13 years old. In fact……

If ParDeus wasnt Scott then hes Jason Durham. I should probably remove this tho if im right.

Family is a big deal around here…was about to win #3 before he died

Kinda weird we have a Scott Bloomquist in our F1 group, and a poster with inside info, and third party articles that corroborate some of what he said making me think more of what he said was legit.

[SmilinLikeRashad]

So it was really him?

[syntaxless]

I’m leaning toward yes but I’ll wait for @hjr2 to give the green light.

Tyler Reddick First Win at East Bay Raceway Park (2009) #LucasDirt

@SmilinLikeRashad

It seems pretty likely to me.

Not sure why a dude would claim to have worked with Tyler Reddick during his dirt race when it’s factual that Bloomquist did exactly that.

I would trust that info over someone saying it didn’t happen.

He also talked about divorce and getting fucked out of money and blah blah.

15, damn!

[hjr2]

It wasn’t. Seriously. Watch some interviews with the guy and you’ll realize pretty quick he could barely use a computer and he would consider posting on forums like this a complete waste of time.
