My First Laps In A Midget!

[@olenpittman21]

Growing up in a sprint car family I always loved the midgets. Those motors sound so good! Glad you got the opportunity to drive one! Thank you CB racing for giving Tanner this awesome chance so we can all ride along with him.

[@bobzilla5472]

Looking good. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey through open wheel racing. It's great watching you learn and progress.

[@tydaboss3097]

Looks like as you went on it felt like you got more comfortable and we need you to put Tmez tv in on your videos and Tmez puts you in his

[@RegularJoes]

That last run definitely looked your best, sounded like you were on the gas more which is what the midgets like. That in car camera angle for session #4 was no bueno, made me feel woozy. Good luck at CB in a CB car, Chad would be smart to make a 4 car USAC national run next year and put you in a full season of USAC national midgets.

[@ronjones1308]

You've come a long ways Tanner! This is just another leg of your journey! Merry Christmas too you and all of the Tanner family! This is going to be a great year for you and Carley!

[@oldschoolhoosier]

A very impressive Run for the first time in the car Tanner… This season will be very competitive but with the hard work you put in, you can be a strong contender. Merry Christmas to the Holmes family and Best Wishes to Tanner 2023. 🏆🥇🏎

[@dbsnyder4503]

You got this young man! After the Chili Bowl alot more people are going to know your name! Rip it Tanner!

[@ezduzit4009]

Really hope you get an opportunity like Larson, Seavey and Kofoid if you want to take that route. Coming and running with us Hoosiers in usac sprints and midgets can do wonders for you as a driver as they've proved.

[@carolinaghost5451]

welcome to North Carolina, good luck in the chili bowl. looked like you had fun driving a midget

[@dennissastini3312]

Been a minute since I caught a video can't wait for the chili bowl I will be rooting for you you're a well rounded young man with great upbringing

[@lieutenantcliff]

You looked SO good on that 3rd session and that is one fast car. You should do really well in that arena with all the experience you have with your Outlaw Kart. ✌

[@raychap11]

You looked like you were turning some pretty good laps but it is hard to say without knowing what a fast lap looks like. I'm sure you will be fine at the Chili Bowl!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing you race!!!!!!

[@JoshuaFieldsWCSC]

Love seeing your career progress over the last six years of subbing to your channel

[@johncarter1137]

I'm glad for you, Tanner. You and the family have a Merry Christmas.

[@fresnokidsr]

That looked pretty good to me beings that this was the first time in a midget for you Tanner. I guess having your brake pedal come loose in your QRC cart and having to adjust in the moment to controlling it with the gas pedal in that last cart race was a good little orientation to get you into thinking about how to drive a car more so with just the gas pedal. It is going to be interesting to see how do in Tulsa and your thoughts on how that track and Milbridge compares to each other. Thank you for sharing this video with us. May y'all have a good one. Have fun take care

[@stevedavis3663]

You looked good in the car and seemed to get more comfortable with each session you ran out there. Good that you got some practice laps in before just jumping into the midget for the first time at the Expo Center. Kudos to Chad and Milbridge Raceway to have you back to North Carolina to get the practice time in. Good luck at the Chili Bowl, we'll all be watching on Flo or in person. Happy Holidays to you and the family.

[@michaelbabella9012]

Very good sessions, big Thanks to CB Racing to offer u a ride!! Hoping you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!

[@robbj938]

Dude, I'm so happy for you. Make Oregon proud of you man. I think this well be right up your alley.

[@markstamper3806]

The tradition continues Tanner!!! You mentioned all those amazing drivers, your one helluva a driver too!!! Have confidence n do what you do! You looked great testing!!! Good luck!!!

[@Greyson.Kyler429]

I've never seen midgets race in person until this past summer at Lincoln Speedway for the Sam Smith Memorial, and honestly, there pretty cool to watch a race in person run around a 3/8 dirt track. I try to watch the chilie bowl every year, now I gotta watch it because you're in it, and I wanna see how well you do with all your experience in an outlaw cart.

[@ryderbrooks5722]

Looking sooo good!! Can’t wait to watch you race chili bowl!!

[@Sidney808]

I’ve been waiting so long for you to get in a midget. Your doing it bro. living the dream. Keep your elbows up!

[@TannerHolmes]

thank you!

[@glenstark7973]

AWESOME!! Very excited for you...hope you got out of here before the cold set in....looking forward to the race....

[@johnjohnson6094]

This has been a fun journey throughout your career progression, I remember when you were a little kid racing karts at southern Oregon speedway.

[@cyclingbutterbean]

What an opportunity you asked? Well Tanner I'd send right back, what a WELL EARNED OPPORTUNITY! I'd say as we who have been watching your progression already know. If Chad didn't see something in you this would never have materialized. You are not just some hack rich kid , far from it. You're grounded , respectful ,humble , and above all a talented racecar driver. You belong here. You set your mind to achieve this goal and the opportunities are coming your way. Be serious about this , but also have fun. It has to be fun. Otherwise it's just a job. Obviously this is YOUR passion and it shows. I see it as well as others. The guys with the rides see it too. This is just the beginning for you. Do yourself and family proud. Enjoy the moment. All of you enjoy the moment. Happy Holidays to you and all your family. Couldn't be more pleased for you Tanner. Santa brought you an early Christmas present. Thanks for bringing all of us along too!

[@jamiesonh2323]

Excited for you! Best of luck to you! Team looked awesome as well. Merry Christmas to you all!

[@gregsimon9061]

Damn Tanner, you looked real good real quick, your cart experience really shows. Absolutely loved the in car shots.

[@ayukacarlson3982]

Wow looks like pro! that is awesome that you get the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the midget!

[@melabshier5812]

Go get 'em Kiddo. Glad you had a good run. And kept the car in one piece. 😁 Good luck at the Chili Bowl. Merry Christmas to you and the whole family. See you down the road next season. 👍

[@BigBRebooted]

Awesome dude! Kick butt and take names! Have fun! Good luck!

[@frankdanfelt7059]

Tanner, remember what I stated back in the summer that car owners were taking notice. Many successful dirt track drivers have gotten their start in the chilli bowl. Stay humble and don't forget what got you to this point. The chilli bowl can make or break careers.

[@harleyjim430]

YOU LOOKED GOOD! Chili Bowl is the Indy 500 in a barn! You got it Tanner! See you up there!

[@theinstigatorracing8002]

Hey Tanner!!!!! I have been waiting for this video. Keep up the great work buddy

[@edminas3159]

Beyond excited to see you racing at Chili Bowl. I will be watching with my Tanner Holmes Chili Bowl tee shirt on. You got this. Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@13thworker45]

Experience is everything. Racing lawnmowers maybe next! Tanner you will do well no matter what car you get in. Good luck.

[@larryprobus3263]

[@markwilson9030]

Go an conquer this dream it’s all making you a better driver. You are so talented keep pushing forward.

[@randalljames1]

Billy Boat.. name I have not seen in a long time... If it is the same guy, he did my alcohol carb conversions in Phx..

[@rockinracer]

Looked good, track looked clodded on top, more kick sideways for me, three wheeling hooked up. Go show your greatness , I know you have it. Love when Mom or Dad are in the videos, any news on the Bear. Merry Christmas, we love you all.

[@delvinator5]

[@stevenwoodsjr4468]

Youre the best Tanner. it is my dream to race Sprint cars and midgets. Hope you had a great time!

[@thomaskaech1022]

[@stiffiejohnson1822]

Proud of you kid enjoy the memories and the Tulsa chili I hear is amazing lol Remember to remind the midget race team about your teammate Carly Merry Christmas Tanner and to the Holmes family ❤️ Sprint Car fraternity forever Jer ✌️

[@gregmitchell4619]

[@fatboy2712]

That inside berm at the chili bowl is wicked

[@curbshoppin]

Looking good Tanner👍what a beautiful sounding engine , looks like a high tech piece your getting to drive , you will do fine🏁

[@deanbanks3392]

This new adventure is exciting. Best of luck in the Chili Bowl.

[@joealbert7773]

Looks like a great ride. Non-wing is quite a bit different than with a wing. You will do all right, you were hustling the car pretty good.

[@jerrycampbell6181]

Wow Tanner, you looked good , trust your instincts an talent's !!! You were Sling Dirt !!! Get everything out of the car you can get, stay safe, an take care the equipment, you have to be there at the end to Win !!! YOU CAN DO THIS !!! MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and Family !!! GOD BLESS !!! Your biggest fan , from Laf IN

[@magillanz]

great effort. Impressive first runs. Tiny narrow wee track so representative of the Chili Bowl

[@dannyht92]

Knew this was coming. Awesome to see ya get in one and rip the cushion.

[@mrbandit2955]

Tanner is probably the only guy I know that can get in any car, do one lap and instantly be good with it.

[@joannenikitenko5458]

I'm going to be watching you in the middle of school!

[@robertcharles1026]

I bet the first thing you said to your mum was, I WANT A MIDGET, the smile on your dial was huge. Good to see you making laps before the chilli bowl. Carly will be envious of you. LOL 😆🤣🤣😆😆

[@robertcharles1026]

Hey Tanner, I will get to watch Carson Masido and Aaron Ruetzel race at Archerfield speedway in few weeks time they have been running great here in Australia so far this down under season.

[@rockett11]

You look great have a safe trip back and you guys have a Merry Christmas your entire family!

[@fatboy2712]

[@tommcspedden3662]

[@therexx891]

[@burlapX]

👍 looking good tanner!

[@rustychrysler9551]

Good test session. good luck you will do great.

[@robcoastalga8279]

This is awesome. Sounds amazing. I see TRD logo. Is that a yotabox engine? Sounds high strung. Can't believe how fast you have that little thing going around that clay track. What was your high speed? I gotta watch more midget videos

[@kensnyder9372]

Not bad at all , steering was good for the way the the track was . By the time when you leave the Bowl you will have a pretty good handle on it ......Merry Xmas to every one .....The Egg Nog , well easy on the spike..............LOL..................

[@Lon3Wolf21]

What an opportunity Tanner!!

[@jacoblangston4765]

U should see about renting a NW focus midget run it at greys harbor and Skagit on the dirt. Maybe come to north east oregon and run at hermiston in one

[@nathangannon5933]

Between 3 and 4 you looked really really good. It seemed you swooped out towards the wall between 1 and 2 which obviously takes longer. Best of luck to you itd be nice to see you surprise the boys and take the shootout.

[@lancedavis5873]

Looking good man🤙. I'm excited for you

[@unclebones2488]

looked good Tanner , loved the wheelies & your mom squealing 😁

[@kanynhise7497]

YESIRR BUBBA CONGRATS AND GOODLUCK

[@jordanmockridge7865]

I can't wait to see you at the mockridge Christmas

[@benlaf8875]

good luck for the tulsa weekend

[@Nathanm7977]

wish you could come run at Dixie speedway in Woodstock Ga

[@shaneallison3370]

That front stretch wall bumping out like that 🤔 Just getting laps 👍

[@jimmyj244820]

Can’t wait to see you race

[@bryanthreet6761]

Super pumped!

[@Brody085]

Best of luck at the chilli bowl

[@caderatliff3712]

This is so friggin' COOL!

[@scottmassick9824]

Your a natural dude! But whats the days of thunder quote,"now get your own car and we'll see how you do in a pacK" lol. Great job with a little luck you'll have a decent chili bowl to bad you couldn't go get so laps in a 600 at Tulsa shoot out. Best of luck go gettem

[@TannerHolmes]

Thank you!

[@kevinwallis2194]

hahaha dont let um know your from the west coast. Reminds me of the "days of Thunder" movie. Tim Daland: If you're from California, you're not a Yankee. You're not really anything. Harry Hogge: You said it.

[@robbj938]

That was a killer 4th session u put on camera. You were ripping the lip. And killing it on the bottom. Was worth the trip. When you run into Tmez, the 2 of you need to compare notes. You can give him some pointers on his process with utube. And get some of his viewers and vice versa.

[@peterwild9459]

I think your mum spoke more on this video than all the others combined !

[@catherinesullivan641]

Now part of our NWC drivers on the move👍❤️

[@adredsox79]

Lookin good tanner man

[@watwsplace8614]

Good morning Tanner Just an observation, understanding this car is new to you. The car looks faster than you are right now. Seat time cures this.☺ Good luck W

[@greganderson2278]

Just drink a Red Bull and drop the hammer. Lol excited about all the good things that can come from this kind of exposure for your team!!!

[@huntersteele9337]

Here in Louisiana we have the now 600 midgets everyonce in a while and they are cool to see

[@brucelowe5116]

Only one way to go.Forward! Looked pretty darn good for your first time in a midget.

[@kurtstoutner2935]

Tanner I have to eat humble pie why you may ask I didn't think you do as great as you did please don't be mad at my but I've heard midgets can be finicky but I seen you drive it and win at Tulsa I belive that track is the size of redbluff I hope out of 300 plush entries you make it all the way marry Christmas to you and your holmes family get it lol

[@sammyl8198]

I think u should get one and race them. It would be greAt content and fun for you!?

[@davidaarons2488]

Ya done good, a little pulled back, but that's to expected. Did you make any changes to the car for yourself or just as they had it? Oh and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@TannerHolmes]

Pretty much just where they had it. I’m not too picky. Just jump in and go!

[@saltybildo9448]

Good luck kid

[@tommyschirnhofer9696]

Sounds like you are preparing to run the McCreadie line at Tulsa

[@jimmyj244820]

Good luck in the chilli bowl
