I was 30 years old before I ever seen a sprint car in person. Now 37 with 2 years crew experience and 5 years of driving!!!

[@mariebeasley1269]

Good story for you. My son Matt at 18 went to a Casino with his boss. Played Black Jack and won 12,000 😂 went got a sprint car. He ran Bridgeport Speedway in a 305 and won 2 features. The best thing,he has the track record for the 20 lapped that will stick because they changed the configuration of the track. Went 410 and ran out of money. But at least he got to follow a dream of his. Proud of him

[@abpob6052]

I won $5k in LV and stopped on the way home and spent it all on tires and wheels lol

[@dlbracer56]

I bought a frame, then a front axle, steering box, linkage, rear axle. It sat on 6x6's for a year while I bartered, bargained, and bought. Wheels and tires. BUILT a motor with some great people out of their spare parts. A seat from a micro sprint I had and I added safety items to. I bought the BEST racing uniform (Hinchman). At age 60 FINALLY achieved my racing dream. A midget (D2) and racing at Bloomington Speedway. I had raced in Japan, Germany and Idaho. But there is nothing like racing where you once watched your idols run. Graylocks Racing EnterPrizes. Living he best life possible.

Good for you!

[@dennisbrown8108]

No sight, sound or smell any better than being at a dirt track! Great videos Tmez

[@tmezTv]

You got that right!

[@MuttTheBuckeyeSlayer1977]

Good shots!!!

[@erodfilms9520]

[@RA-zl6iw]

Thanks for the videos Thomas. I hope your shoulder heals up soon.

[@tmezTv]

Thanks 👍 getting better everyday

[@tomortman4850]

Your videos are awesome as is your commentary. Heal fast.

[@bobsmyth9776]

That was some really good play announcing T Mez

[@brookscarter1691]

Glad to see your doin good Tmez. Nothin like Trex at the track. Thought he was driving in the pile up. Lol.

[@avalon1rae]

Reminds me of Perris Auto speedway

[@lukearnold23]

Thanks for this video and the info Tmez. I dream of one day racing a sprint car at least once. Love the content!

[@ryanpatrick2983]

Bro would love to see a video of you doing stunt bike tricks from back in the day🤙🏼

[@mariebeasley1269]

Can't waitto get there during Midget Week. You get well so I can see you race then race Sprint Storm week in Pa 🤟

[@speedwaystevecronk6680]

Damn good camera work ! Your getting good with the drone also. Treat that shoulder right and heal up and get back into the seat. I like the bus, Get to the track and make it happen, Best of Luck and Skill Always,

[@ronaldclavey2803]

Back in the 1990s the USAC number 12 was registered to my brother Bill, driven by Dave Feese

[@Ryan_H22]

5:43 had me. Looks like a really nice facility and the stands are almost barren. Sucks man.

[@MuttTheBuckeyeSlayer1977]

See you found Scottie Keen!!

[@dongravatt8453]

love to see you in a super late model.

[@blastingcapps4341]

Looks like it's a nice decent track

[@ivanetherton8514]

What a HOOT !

[@billroberts9044]

Another great video, continue to get healthy. Its not too late to pick up a couple of sponsors prior to Midget Week. 👍🏼

[@Desperado9552]

Damn good weekly show.

[@holdenballinger2668]

Man, these vids are what I need. I’m trying to get into sprint cars. Have raced micros since 2013, and just never had the money. Now trying to figure out what I need is very difficult, what size frame do I need? Ride heights? All these questions I can’t seem to figure out on my own I just keep pushing. Tire pressures how much fuel to you put into the fuel cell. Maybe I should find someone to pit for too? Learn the cars a little before building one?

[@marshallcallracing4860]

T mez you’re the man!

[@tmezTv]

🍻

[@ericsmith1923]

Such a great video. My dad and me for the past 20 years have been going racing at any means necessary, whether we got towed out, rented a u-haul, for the past couple years we have been knows as the u-haul gang. But my micros is too 3 every night. Love the video brotha

[@tmezTv]

That is awesome!🍻

[@georgew.5639]

Awesome! 😎

[@tmezTv]

Thanks! 😁

[@BrianB3223]

that was crazy

[@DJDouglasWarden]

Good stuff thank you

[@tmezTv]

You bet

[@abpob6052]

Terrifying to spin 180 at the front on a start and watch all the blind drivers hammering down straight at you

[@user-zm4vq8oi4s]

Great video ❤ it

[@tmezTv]

Thank you!!

[@BenDecko2023]

School bus in the pits? I didn't know Circle City was in Texas...LOL

[@BillSmithBooks]

Or Canada. When I was a kid, ALL of the top 358 Modified teams at Cornwall and Brockville used old school buses for haulers.

[@1919champ]

Pray to the racin gods. Gotta love it!

[@Frank-the-Tank-13]

I would watch your videos before FLO great job

[@tmezTv]

Hahah thanks

[@mynametyler6973]

Still real sad about gas city not running Friday’s but I guess it happens to small local tracks and they’ll bounce back

[@Brock904]

Hey Tmez, got any photos or videos from your high school days at Antioch speedway? Thanks for the current videos, glad you're doing well!

[@tmezTv]

Not really. I gave them to this guy to edit all together and I never got them back.

[@Brock904]

@@tmezTv I'm sorry to hear that, at least there is this channel to watch. Thank you so very much!

[@abpob6052]

If you only race on your local track you don't need much.

[@darrenpersicke5266]

Thin crowd. They show up late there in INDY?

[@charlescampbellii8193]

What started the cone on the restarts. Also why do they do it. Is it safety?

[@tmezTv]

You can’t pass until the Con it keeps everybody single file and tell the flag stand

[@ronfox5519]

Looked like the camera on the back of the car was keeping itself pointed straight up the track no matter which way the car was pointed. Am i seeing this right?

[@tmezTv]

It has the stability on and in that it kind of moves around, focusing on the cars behind it

[@k_hoffman]

Did you start with a wing or non wing car Tmez? 305/360/410?

[@tmezTv]

My first car was a 410 but I had raced my dad’s midget

[@k_hoffman]

@@tmezTv Right on, was just curious. I am running a winged 305 this year to start out and try to learn how to be a wheelman. No previous experience so should be interesting. How much does it throw you off going from a winged car to non wing? Ok to learn with the wing and eventually make the jump to non wing?

[@magillanz]

You have income protection insurance for injuries? Or just living off KZbin and donations

[@jaredkinneyjr]

4:00 Huh???? Actual tire pressure set-up info? Seems like you'd wanna keep that to oneself but I am just a fan & know nothing

[@glenmurra3856]

I have a question for you Thomas I'm watching your video on Circle City what do you think has to be done to get people back in the stands I've been watching races this year by that I mean Sprint cars and the midgets and there hasn't been anybody in the stands definitely not enough people to cover the purse why do you think the problem is and what do you think has to be done to change it enjoy your videos Hope to see you back in the car real soon

[@johnezell9808]

@@RA-zl6iw ooh no. Kinda wrote that part wrong. My wife at that time was size 9..😂😂😂❤🎉
