USAC National Sprint Cars 1st Race of the Year Kicks Off In Florida

[@aldopine]

Thomas, as a fan of yours, I would like to thank you very much for the videos you make and the content within them of your racing experience and off track life. You don't get that on TV that I've ever found. Win or not you have always shown respect for your team and the owners and crews you drive for all across our country. Thank you good sir. 🙂

[@tmezTv]

I appreciate that!

[@speedwaystevecronk6680]

Thanks for the Office Seat View ! Best of Luck and Skill going Forward, Elbow's Up.

[@mwmiller4]

I’ve been a hardcore race fan for 40 years and I can say you are providing THE very best racing content on KZbin! We are loving the split screen view. Your rear facing camera footage is insane! Tonight is the first time I ever noticed the “ Super Thanks “ feature. The Super Thanks should work well for you because you have some many loyal fans. Thanks for posting and good luck!

[@tmezTv]

Thanks I do appreciate that. I’m just trying to make a honest living and it’s not easy if your not a NOS guy or have a rich family. I got neither so I have to work a little harder and give more to my fans in order to not work a 9-5 in the winter . KZbin has helped pay bills this winter so I’m all in trying to make this work.

[@mwmiller4]

Could you please tell us fans how to purchase t-shirts and merch online. Or - I should ask does KZbin have an easy “ Buy Merch” feature?

[@tmezTv]

I’m trying to link my shop but I’ve been busy racing can’t figure it out

[@chancevonfreund9145]

Great video! Fun to watch.🏁

[@1919champ]

Bacon was damn lucky on that deal. He was fast though. Looked like a struggle all night long, but with a new track record at Volusia you and the 20 are bad fast. Hey, good luck tonight, Friday, and thanks for the great content on TmezTV!

[@tmezTv]

We missed a little for sure but have a good idea on how to make it right

[@RacingWithChuck27]

Good run. I don’t think people (racers do) understand how to drop in a USAC sprint car here and there and be fast. It’s not like you run that car for that many races a year 👍 As far as Bacon, he’s usually the one over rotating and ending someone’s night, glad you kept er going

[@williambillwaynerobertson930]

Love the top camera angle Thomas a killer view🤘🇺🇸🤙

[@williambillwaynerobertson930]

I don't know how many rpms you were turning in the feature TMez, the motor just didn't sound like it was really pulling anything you could tell it was definitely tight.

[@tmezTv]

Trial and error! Hard to get the front tires and the steering wheel

[@sprintcarsandguitars959]

it's one big circle,we just got to make better circles. makes total sense,thanks for posting!

[@tmezTv]

Absolutely!

[@billburkart8527]

Thanks Thomas, another enjoyable video. I watch all your videos on my iPhone and I am constantly leaning with you in the turns. Keep up the great racing. 👍👍

[@mwmiller4]

I do the same😂

[@tmezTv]

Glad you like them!

[@qualityoflifefitnessllc2467]

So I'm not the only one with a crick on the left side of my neck after watching the videos on my phone?! Lol...

[@scooter0958]

This was another race I was watching you live of Flo down here in Oz Tmez. Awesome footage mate and thanks for sharing👍.

[@tmezTv]

Thanks for watching cheers 🍻

[@manga12]

its amazing how frequent that left front is up off the track you wonder how you get any steering out of it. surprised you dont have the footage up of the record breaking run at volusia

[@tmezTv]

We raced all week in Florida and I had no time to edit and I want that one to be done right. Driving all day home my time is very limited

[@manga12]

@@tmezTv I imagine south florida is not a trip the the supermarket, but I understand there are things I have put off a year to make the video for some old railroad shop info that people haven't seen here in 100 years but I need to make sure I have all the info and then organize it by timeline as it spans decades been meaning to make the video but its a lot of info to comb though, and books a neighbor gave me hundreds of pages of info and old diagrams when he was a maintanance of way foreman that maintained the tracks and structures on the railroad around here for csx and back when it was still chessie systams, you broke a record that was set by the king steve kinser, its an important milestone though I am curious how volusa is so fast when its no where near the banking of eldora, the burg or bellview, usually it takes good banking to keep carrythough speed dont it?

[@mblulz]

Love the vid man! As per usual great content! Just curious if you've ever tried a very thin layer of WD40 on the camera housing. Curious if you could get enough on to help the mud fall off but not so much that it blurs the shot. Just a wild idea, Cheers bro!

[@scottkernan9007]

Awesome

[@jeffmill6683]

I watched you at Volusia on the 13/14th and enjoyed every minute of it. We were in the infield on turn 1. Maybe next time I will talk to you after the races. I had my wife with me and she's handicap so I had to stay close by.

[@tmezTv]

That place is so fast and fun

[@indybobthis]

Good luck T-MEZ !

[@tmezTv]

Thanks!!

[@Tyler-sv4sw]

That was bad ass how did we get into the guy up front I couldn’t see that

[@tmezTv]

He just stopped and I didn’t expect it

[@jordanhutton6641]

dont mind me asking were do you get your cases and mounts having a hard time finding anything for dirt racing

[@japanesetoenglish]

Why does the left front wheel seem to wobble around when the steering angle is high? Is that a setup choice?

[@Billy-ce2yq]

Keep elbows up.

[@joewahrerMotorcycleMan]

Will you be racing the "Million to Win" at Eldora July 12th & 13th? Winged I believe... :(

[@tmezTv]

Nope I don’t have many wing opportunities trying to talk the 20 into it but

[@joewahrerMotorcycleMan]

@@tmezTv He'll come around and give you that ride, I have faith! What a payday that would be!

[@communityracecar]

[@davidaarons2488]

As you said, wasn't quit right and ya did what ya could. Where do they like the rpms to be 8800 or so?

[@tmezTv]

8400-8600 is what I like to see. 8800 is probably normal for most the usac cars and for sure the wing cars

[@alkennedy1124]

I thuoght you going to get it done , then it started hopping did you have a flat or low right rear ??? Thanks buddy BigAl California thanks praise Jesus Christ grace grace amen 🙏

[@davidlester6092]

🏁

[@tonyrime1969]

Hey quick question,, did you left rear during hot laps look weird to you….. can’t tell what it was doing but it didn’t look right….

[@tmezTv]

It did look odd on the inside block but this motor makes more wheel speed than most and just standers the tire up more

[@glenmurra3856]

Man turn that motor 9400 RPMs I know she didn't let go for you in the future I hope it makes it through Friday night if you leave it in but I'd be awful tempted to pull that thing apart and check the bearings that's a little more than that motor should have been cranked

[@tmezTv]

It was only one lap and the track was wet. Should fine. He is talking about putting a RPM chip at -9000. That’s typically what most cars have. Let’s the motor turn 8800

[@glenmurra2263]

@@tmezTv thanks for letting me know that stuff guess I didn't realize they were turning them that high of RPMS I know back when I raced sprint cars in the 70s they would have never lasted at that high of RPM's if you went over 7000 you were lucky
