Congrats on the B win! Good call on ending the night early and keeping things together to fight another day. Great relationship building with the young man, you made a fan for life!
I absolutely love that joint! I grew up there. You could hear the cars running from the house. I couldn't count the Friday nights I sat on the hill or roamed the pits.I finally raced there in my own D2 midget (2015-16 at age 60) Graylocks Racing EnterPrizes #56
A win is a win right, congratulations,B win , that’s crazy for some piston rings to get into the oil pump, crazy, ,,that is what you said right, or was it just some other parts and poises getting in the oil pump thanks BigAl
I got such mad respect for you guys that race those cars. It’s probably my favorite dirt car to watch. Keep up the great content. Hope to see you someday out in my area in the PNW.
Hate hearing you don't like Bloomington, always enjoy watching you run there. My hometown. I really like the camera on the tail facing forward looking at the shock. Cool seeing how much it is moving for you. Keep digging with the wing. Looking good.
Awesome on the B Main Win. The $350 rear price on the tire caught my attention! I drag race a stick shift class so I can relate to the increases lately in parts prices. With the Wife n I funding our operation I’m not too optimistic on us doing it much longer. EVERYTHING HAS GONE WAY UP!!
The Great Hot Karl would be proud of you. Winning your first B Feature in a wing car. Something you won't soon forget 😂. On a serious note congratulations I'm sure with the tough season you've had being out of the car, you'll take it. I know being in B Mains isn't something you're used to but as you well know, wing racing takes a lot of resources and experience. It's fun to watch a top pro try something different.
🇺🇸GOOD RUN. I WISH U WOULD'VE LEFT THE BARS THE SAME & MOVE THE WING BACK LIKE YALL WERE TALKIN, & MAYBE PLAY WITH AIR PRESSER & STAGGER. DIDNT LOOK BAD AT ALL IN THE B FROM WERE IM SITTN! LOVE THE CHANNEL MAN!SLIDE-OR-DIE!🏁🇺🇸
That night gave us the worst results, but I probably learned the most when I was all set and done. I should have left the car alone if you watch the footage the left front never gets down in the future because I don’t have clean air and the tracks slow down so I should’ve just left the car alone and fueled up.
a win is a win, at one of indianas ancent tracks that started out as a fairground track, it might not be a a main win but its moving up into the a main heres to moving up in the world. and keeping all four down and elbows up
Bloomington is right there next to Nashville Indiana, and in that area, is the best place on the planet for all of your heavy equipment,and jeeps, at C&C equipment, Clinton is the owner, and would love to have you bring some mini bikes ,by the shop. They would probably love those bikes, thanks go over and check them out while your there , thanks BigAl California
Australian Sprintcar Fan here. Am I right if I was to say, that Thomas here, was once in the U.S.A.C competition? In a Midget and/ or a Sprintcar too? I'm pretty sure he was. I could of course be wrong, which is why I'm asking you Americans this question. Thanks in advance!! And cheers 🍻 from Australia!!
@1919champ I knew it! I knew that he'd raced in U.S.A.C in both the Midgets and the Sprints. And I was aware of him coming over to Australia and racing in a Midget (we call them Speedcars down here. Don't ask me why, but we do) and, as you said, in New Zealand last Summer (sorry, our Summer is your winter), but since then, we've had a big announcement that the Hi-Limits will be coming out this Christmas-New Year and has a purse for $100,000 US. But, it's all on the West Coast of Australia, where there are plenty of decent tracks, and Speedway has a huge following and gets much better crowds than over here on the East Coast. But then again, they've had decade after decade of major private T.V Networks, covering not just the big meetings but also the week in week out team dramas, gossip, and news. The presents of the major T.V Networks have been the catalyst for change, and that's the kind of thing that's been missing for years now, over here on the East Coast. We really need to follow their leadership.
just my opinion here but you need a larger diameter tie rod and steering rod (the one from the pitman arm to the spindle) you are trying to drive this like a midget. Wont work, if you are working the crap out of the steering wheel you are on the wrong lane. back in my day, a LONG time ago, the smoother the drive the faster we were.. but that was gambler chassis back in the mid 80's
I used to love the old gambler Sprintcars. In Australia, we had quite a number of them all through the 1980s, Stanton's and Tognotti's were also very popular down here, to.
Congrats TMez, great job on the B main. Your little cameraman did a great job too.
I love that view of the shock.
Almost completely compressed inside rear!
I could watch shocks all day
Great job / kid will be a race fan for life.
Congrats on the B win! Good call on ending the night early and keeping things together to fight another day. Great relationship building with the young man, you made a fan for life!
I could watch that opening sequence 100 times and not get sick of it!
Didn’t know ole beaver was working with you. Cool shit tell him skippy says what’s up. Nice job tmez
Overall not that bad of a night, thanks for the Ride A Long. Best of Luck and Skill Going Forward .
Thomas. Thanks for sharing this video. It really shows how tough this sport is for everyone competing. Keep up the good work!

Stomp and steer Thomas! Looks like you're having a blast just burying it into the corners.
I got such mad respect for you guys that race those cars. It’s probably my favorite dirt car to watch. Keep up the great content. Hope to see you someday out in my area in the PNW.
That tire shot was epic, watching the mud cover then get slung off..... Love the camera angles.
That kid did a good job holdin the cam .
💯 great kid!

Great drive and content sir.

A W is W. Voiceover really adds a lot to the show. Great cockpit footage. Elbows up! Good luck this weekend!

Nice work 👍🏻
Better money in winged cars T! Stick with it brother!
Good job !!!
Starting to dial it in, mate. Great job. 🤙
Thanks 👍
Bloomington speedway one of my top 3 favorite tracks
LOVE that camera angle from just behind the left rear shock.
I hope you gave that little boy something for his great camera work 😊
Loved the Jr. cameraman.
Excellent 👍
Dumb question I'm sure but are the atv's not able to push start the cars? And the cam on the shock was sick.
Cool view of the shock
That young man needs a Official "T Mez TV" Cameraman.decal. 👍🏼
You are always good around the kids, Thomas... GOOD JOB.
Congrats on the B main win! It's great to see you run in the A main. Are you feeling better about how winged cars work?
That night gave us the worst results, but I probably learned the most when I was all set and done. I should have left the car alone if you watch the footage the left front never gets down in the future because I don’t have clean air and the tracks slow down so I should’ve just left the car alone and fueled up.
Smooth criminal 😎. Keep grindin ole son
Looks like your getting the wing car figured out. Did they figure out what happened to the motor that lost oil pressure? Thanks👍
Broke valve spring got sucked up into the oil pump and broke the oil pump shaft :(
@@tmezTv Ouch!
Does your race trailer have ac in it for you to rest
No sir
a win is a win, at one of indianas ancent tracks that started out as a fairground track, it might not be a a main win but its moving up into the a main heres to moving up in the world. and keeping all four down and elbows up
Seat time is worth a lot
Hey Mez what's those tubes that go up top and there connected to a what looks like some sort of valve 😊😊
They slide the wing back or forward
And I think your wing car is good looking

Yes, he races sprint cars and midgets in USAC. he raced a midget in NZ last Winter and the Winter before that he was in OZ.

Are those ray bans?
Its been a dream of mine to watch you race when's the next time your gonna be at bloomington
