TmezTv Goes Down Under To Eastern Creek Speedway Racing Midgets in AUSTRALIA

[@stewarth8390]

It was very cool to walk up to the car I was going to crew on for the first time and here’s the man himself T-Mez pitted right beside us. Damned awesome night!

[@BrettSurenne]

I was in the crowd that night, sitting on turn 3. I thought turn 3 was bad on the night but the cushion on 1 & 2 looked worse from your footage. There was some big stacks in the 410's on turn 1 & 2. Thankyou for taking the time to visit and race over here. I always appreciate the opportunity to see awesome racers in awesome machines. Thanks again.

[@billburkart8527]

Great run Tmez, you make us proud wherever you run. Looking forward to next Saturday. 👍👍

[@tmezTv]

Thanks 👍

[@davidfabish-wood5278]

Awesome job getting a podium, looks like you had a tough job handling the ruts. Good luck for the Aussie titles! The famous Jack Brabham won three Australian Speedcar titles before he left for Europe and Formula One, hopefully you can join the list.

[@tmezTv]

Fingers crossed!

[@alkennedy1124]

[@speedwaystevecronk6680]

Good Run in a Damn Nice Looking Car ! Did you get a New Seat or two at the PRI show and a case of tearoff's ? Best of Luck and Skill going Forward.

[@tmezTv]

I did !

[@unclebones2488]

I’m a fan down here in Oz as we call it. Great run good luck in the Australian Title. Great video .

[@tmezTv]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@timwilson294]

Congrats excellent show as always

[@RacingWithChuck27]

Nice run!! Man, that dirt down under sure was rough as a cobb. You slowed down, thought it was a yellow guess not. Not many running up in that rough “chit” Good luck the rest of the time down under

[@peterbragg]

Great car, and what a driver, awesome

[@tmezTv]

Yes indeed!

[@RA-zl6iw]

Good luck down there Thomas! That's a sharp looking racecar.

[@tmezTv]

Very!

[@eck1990]

never seen a track so lit up with lights. cool to see

[@maccampbell8184]

54 Million Dollars (80M Australian Dollars) to build, venue is only 2 years old.

[@tmezTv]

It’s awesome!

[@davidaarons2488]

Great job, 1st night on the podium, get er done

[@iamtheeggman0036]

Just me talkin’, but I would say breaking off all the radiator mounts and ripping a motor mount in two would indicate the track was a “little” rough. Great run man, you had ‘‘em covered until getting held up at the end. Looks like you’re having a great time, good luck next weekend and all my best to the Jordan brothers for putting you in a fast ride!

[@trentlothringer2867]

What a ballsy pass for the lead!!! Loved it!! T-mez throw me one of those good looking T-mez down under shirts!! They look awesome 👌🏼

[@tmezTv]

I’m hoping to bring a few back

[@trentlothringer2867]

Would love if you could they look great!! I'll buy one!!

[@alvinnelson4439]

Good looking car and fast, the Baconater was haulen ass ,good job dude, great video

[@tmezTv]

He ran out of bacon 😂 jk

[@larrytucker2938]

You can sure stick man, you took that dog for a serious walk👍🏽😎

[@tmezTv]

😂🏁👊

[@santiagodelgado5794]

Kicked some ass T-Mez! 🇺🇸

[@RS-ps7jv]

Great video and racing Tmez. What will it take to get one of those tour shirts in 2xl back in the states? I enjoy your videos, keep up the greay work.

[@PsychosisPC05]

Very Cool. The Street Outlaws were just in Perth.

[@tmezTv]

Perth next year

[@billydemunbrunjr.1180]

Wow that's awesome congratulations man , always fast

[@tmezTv]

I try😂🏁

[@billy9995]

Wassup with the yellow lights comin on then goin back green? The esslinger 9000 screamer just hums along sharp car

[@DavidSmith0712]

I'm not a race car driver but in that first run that right rear had a lot of flex. You'll prob get that fixed as you said. Awesome main race. You ever been to Hanford, CA or Chico, CA or Placerville, CA tracks.

[@tmezTv]

Oh ya I’m originally from California

[@ritachambers6353]

Keep living your best life Tmez

[@markstamper3806]

Damn Tmez you were driving that hotrod like you haven't ate in a week n they had a hot meal at the finish line!!!

[@tmezTv]

Lmao I’m hungry

[@mjriemen]

The vlogs need more Chuck… of course not the Australia ones, but you know what I’m sayin… make it happen!

[@christopherwhull]

Now I understand the lack of a cushion on the outside of Eastern Creek and why the track is closed this year. It never seems to get to a better week to week or daylight to dark. It might be fun for the setup wizards but it we see a 1 and 1/4 grove race.

[@kevinmckenzie1289]

We're well overdue for more than one lousy Speedway, in a City of 5 million people. And a quarter mile track just isn't good enough either. When I was young, Sydney had a population of 3 million, with 3 Speedway and one of them was the old Sydney Showground Speedway, was a one third mile. God I miss the place.

[@tmezTv]

They definitely do need more speedways

[@tommyharper7042]

Yeah Good on ya mate!! As they say down under.

[@tmezTv]

One of my favorite sayings here

[@tommyharper7042]

I have done three movies down there and love it. I did Pirates of the Caribbean five on the Gold Coast. Pacific rim two in Sydney and Godzilla Vs kong back on the Gold Coast. Good luck down there mate!

[@joewirth8646]

Track lighting looked incredible down there during the feature. How does it compare to a lot of the tracks in the US?

[@tmezTv]

They do it right over here. The government won’t let it have a shirt fence or lighting. It’s like the burg maybe nicer. Or Lucas oil

[@scottgoldsberry2730]

Living the dream 👍

[@tmezTv]

100%

[@cyclingbutterbean]

Way cool Thomas! What's the deal with that seat? Is it yours? Is that what's required to run down there? Looks pretty stout. What a run Thomas. That thing was badass! Looked like you had your hands full.

[@tmezTv]

Not my seat. I took the bare minimum over there.

[@burlapX]

👍 nice rig

[@tmezTv]

I love it

[@Jester-cq9wg]

The next closest track is Nowra speedway about 2 to 3 hours south of Sydney

[@racerdad6455]

That engine sounded lean or something?!? No flames and sounded like breakup or mixture on top? You wheeled the heck out of that gorgeous 11🏁

[@tmezTv]

It’s probably rich didn’t make any temp

[@scottkernan9007]

That's so awesome all I can say

[@tmezTv]

💯

[@mjriemen]

Is the car the Keith one that Kyle Larson drove during Eastern Storm a few years ago? Pretty sure it is… The “paint job” was a tribute to the Ken Brenn cars of the 60’s/70’s

[@dougdoesracing]

Tmez do you right hand steer or left? I steer mainly with my left but I'm still figuring out how to orient a three spoke wheel for the most comfort. Do you stay off the spokes or try resting on one? Thanks for all the amazing content!

[@tmezTv]

I like a 4 spoke bc I put my hands at 3 & 9 and the first book allows me to be off one click, or the other, without the spokes resting on my hand

[@dougdoesracing]

@@tmezTv Thanks for the reply! I’m racing an ecotech midget for the first time in March and need all the insight I can get! Keep up the great driving and content

[@davidcorless5581]

IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT THE POWERS THAT BE WOKE UP AND STARTED CALLING THEM MIDGETS AS IT'S 2023 .

[@rhysridley5639]

Hope you made it back safe bro

[@sladepetry5550]

Yo TMez! What tracks will you be running while you’re here? And how long are you looking at staying for?

[@tmezTv]

Just creek :/

[@sladepetry5550]

@@tmezTv sad! Planning on doing any exploring while you’re here? I’m in South Aus, just ask Valtteri Bottas how beautiful it is!

[@Desperado9552]

I gotta have one of those T-shirts, how can I get one?

[@waynewilliams839]

Thanks tmez

[@davidlester6092]

No jet lag!!!!!

[@roachie299]

I'm from Australia too and we call them Midgets instead of speedcars

[@jeffmill6683]

Well we may've have drove 3200 miles to watch you race at Volusia and as much as I would to go down under it's just not in the cards. Wish you all the luck in the world.

[@tmezTv]

Thanks my friend but I would recommend Sydney I’m luvin it

[@curtishoke143]

Hell yea

[@glenmurra2263]

What's the deal down there Thomas seems like a pretty nice place but the track is rougher than a plowed field is that how they normally have the track Or do they not know how to prepare a track did they water it too much no sheep's foot I see it's a new track did it just open Or have they been racing on it all season can't believe how rough it is after night on that track you have to go back to the shop and check every nut and Bolt on the car and make sure everything's in good shape good luck next week

[@BigMikeHonch]

they've been having drainage issues under the track ever since it got built 2 years ago where the water would just keep coming back up to the top of the surface, idk if they have gotten it fixed yet

[@tmezTv]

They had a lot of rain last week

[@glenmurra2263]

@@tmezTv That would definitely explain. The rough track conditions. If you get the opportunity. Maybe. You could explain how you set a car up for a track that's in that kind of shape. I think people would find that very, very interesting. Also, the condition of driver has to be in physically. The workout on the arms and the upper body. The strength you have to have. Is tremendous? When a track is in that kind of condition. You can get on your head very quick. And take one hell of a ride. That was the type of track conditions you usually see back here in the United States. In early spring races, I still have? A T- shirt That has USAC No wings just ruts and guts Like I said, about good luck next week.

What are scalops* in the design?

Yes. Like spikes

[@rickyhorsburgh6581]

Racers call them midgets promoters call them speedcars cause of the PC police 🚨

[@jlh8565]

You gonna race no way out 40 at paragon

[@craigrock2828]

I was getting ready to ask this question lol

[@davidcorless5581]

BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE IN AUSTRALIA ARE 30 YEARS BEHIND THE TIMES, I CALL THEM MIDGETS, THERE NOT SPEEDCARS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THEN THE SPEEDCARS OF 30 PLUS YEARS AGO.

[@jambo717]

Good show Gasser.
