Not only an iconic (if eccentric) racer he also built championship winning cars.  You couldn't just buy one though.  You had to prove you were worthy enough to win in one.

I only got to see Scott Bloomquist race in person once, at Baylands, in what was reportedly his last race in California before he headed east. He was quite impressive for a 19 year old in a form of racing that was dominated by very experienced, seasoned veteran racers.

 

loki, you ought to post something about this in the Larson-Verstappen thread  :D    ;)

Emotional win for Reddick, who had been mentored by Bloomquist, at Michigan today.
