- I make my way to Indiana‘s biggest half mile track in Terre Haute Indiana the action track! As always I am in a new car to the channel but a old friend of mine and one of my favorite people to crew chief Donnie Gentry is here to hang out and help me try to go fast. As always TMEZTV gets some amazing footage we don’t have quite as much success as we hoped for but it’s always nice to get through the night with no issues at this fast half mile track where we race well above 120 miles an hour!

The voice over is awesome! Thanks,
You know TMez, so many setup guys or car owners will just not say anything to the driver.”You’re driving it wrong.” “Gotta go faster.” And that’s it. These guys asked questions and were curious as to what you thought. Lots of respect for the Wade crew after this video.
They are awesome to race for. We work as a team!
Keep narrating the laps dude! Great videos 🏁🏁
Not bad for new car, I'll bet ya'll get faster next time. I love that ya think of the owner and don't abuse it when it won't help, that's a noble deal
Awesome video! Those are some L-O-N-G straight stretches!
Awesome bro. Was pulling for you.
On the note of being in a new ride every weekend... you ass is in the seat, all that a guy can ask for really. Super happy to see ya busy man!
Thanks me too! Staying busy is all I can ask for
Thanks T-Mez highlight of the day.
Always enjoy watching tmez tv
Good stuff! Love hearing your voice over as well as the post feature debrief 👊👍
Yea the debrief is one of my favorite parts if the night.. Just being so in touch with what you just felt and talkin with good minds. A few adult beverages usually bring out some pretty solid ideas
Great video from the front and the view from the back. Your arms have to be like steel from the workout you get .
If this is the Amati family I think it is it’s pretty well a legendary name in Indiana
Yes it is! Chuck Amati was Shane wades grandpa I believe
Always a good show at the action track. The cars are just screaming! But the holes in the turns entry side both ends have been there I wish they would prep it better.
T H is a big track a lot can go bad quickly here smart to save the car and not over drive it 👍🏻🇺🇸
This place looks BIG! She gets up to full song on the straightaways at this place , that's for sure. Compare it to Calistoga if you would please?
It has bigger corners then Calistoga about the same straight away though
Man I love Terra Haute hammer down track big swooping turns, I thought you did a hell of a job!! Like you said wasn't really competitive enough to catch the fast group but smart enough not to park it, great job good camera view. Let's go T-Mez!!
Appreciate that
Your are the man TMZ.
Love seeing the Amati racing car. My family was good friends with Chuck for many years, he was a great friend. Miss seeing his smile when we ran into him at the races.👍
Thanks for the great videos as always! 👍
That's why it's the action track kinda like Darlington to tough ta tame ya looked pretty good Thomas you going to run Springfield in October the makeup race.🤙🇺🇸🏁🤙
Great footage and commentary. Well worth watching.
Thanks
Lol....daughters will be daughters!😂😂🇺🇸🏁🌹
My gf 😝
Ya wish I would had guys like that helping me when I ran wing car at port royal u do he’ll good job driven thanks for let us ride along
I am very lucky
A master class in racing sprint cars. Your channel is an advanced course in how to drive a sprint car fast. Great footage and commentary. Great content and editing. Shiny side up!
Looked nice and straight in practice though
It was
#66 nice looking car, the yellow #8 next door looks similar to mine
This length video is what I miss. From one racer to another, I completely understand the difficulty of finding to film time on race day, but you signed up for it haha. I miss the long videos
I appreciate that. I was told to try and make shorter videos to win on CZcams algorithm. Shorter videos means more % of watch time and that helps its reach. I might start a membership for the full video. $5 a month. Full length videos with more information like what bars I’m running and setup information. Idk I’m working my ass of to try to make this channel work
My rotor gets like that also!!!🏁🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Iv always thought if that place had some banking HOLY SHIT!!! Itd b sick!
My home track. Last time I was there was this past May though nothing was going on at the track and I was in town really for the Indy 500 anyway, but it’s always good to visit the roots. Watched Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon kick some ass at TH Action track and of course the GOAT himself Steve Kinser. Can’t even count the amount of races I’ve watched there. I recommend to anyone who has never been, go see the World of Outlaws there. This is true grass roots American racing right here. Greats like AJ Foyt, Tony Stewart etc. Indycar needs to get back to giving these drivers an opportunity. Nothing against Kart racing, but yea. You are still livn the dream 🤘
Good car and i own a hustler
U doing double duty at 4 crown this year. We will be at gas city that Thursday then Big E Friday morning
Thanks for the Ride a long ! You worked with what you had and brought it home in one piece. The back facing Gopro , can you see the screen and use it like a rear view? Keep the Elbow's Up and Best of Luck and Skill.
Not really. It is only on for one min after I turn it on
@@tmezTv makes for great after race reviewing though.. plus you'll always have proof to your buddy that he does indeed eat your dust lol
Thats, cool you talk about trail breaking (dragging ur brake going in) most guys don't talk about that top secret stuff, anyway can you drag your brake off the turn to reduce the wheel spin while not lifting much off the gas?
Wing guys can I don’t do it much
Sorta like traction control? 🙂
Sorry if you've answered this abunch of times before. What program/software are you using for editing?
I movie
That's wild to see how straight your arms are while steering the car is the car is in how far the steering wheel is away from you, I always like my wheel to be a lot closer, And what did they have racing after yall's class that we could hear at the end of the video there
The steering wheel was definitely forward and a very high in this particular car and I could barely reach the top of the wheel until the feature we moved it down but still not ideal
Hey TMEZ...why do some cars smoke from time to time? Looks like oil is dripping onto the left header usually.
Also, is there anyway we could get a view of how the brake pedal in a sprint car works? Thanks!
The over flow on the oil tank is in front of the left header. Let’s just say they find their own oil level so it’ll push out anything it doesn’t want
Same car you won the 4 crown nationals in many years back
👍
How's that new seat T- Mez? Looks like it keeps your head tight. Good Luck!
J&J seems solid with their wing stuff if you like tighter off the lr but what the biggest difference between their wing and non wing car?
Gotta know, what's your favorite Indiana track to run? Then, if it's different, what's your favorite track overall.
They are all so good! The Burg is probably my favorite facility and I do enjoy that place. Putnamville is a blast when it is a big curb and so is Kokomo but gas city is probably home :)
You definitely own gas city. You should totally say that next time u win. Kinda like Arron rodgers said to the Chicago bears 🐻 lmao 😅 I fu** own u".
Fucking awesome footage I just found your channel.
I was hoping yall would get back together at some point
For Real! Hi buddy hope all is well 👊👊
Nice run in a new car. So what changes do you make to get better off the corner?
It all just depends on whether the car is lose or tight, thats what a lot of folks don't underatand about circle track racing, there are lirerally thousands of different of combinations of things you can adjust in order to try and make it around the track faster
We had the front of the car low we could have put a few turns across the front maybe lower the rear
How long is a "normal" contract? Like how long yall usually sign for or shake on?
grew up in san jose,east side. what part you from? we ran the fairgrounds in 86/87 seasons in a gambler.
I grew up blossom hill and 101 area. Went to San Jose as a kid from 92 till I started racing.
@@tmezTv wow 92? i lived around the block from the old san jose speedway. 200 lap midget main events on a wend night were killer.
Lernerville is "The Action Track" 🤷♂️
Not around here lmao 🤣 (I really want to race learnervile !)
How do you make your living from racing continuously ride hopping in a Sprintcar?
I race 100 times a year save all I can to get through the winter. The midget races all winter at big enough shows to sale shirts and get by in the winter
Looks like you got a lot of room in the cockpit
I’m only 5”5 😂
@@tmezTv really I’m 12 and I’m 5,11

Thomas, are you OK? You just seem a little down.
fastest? you never ran winchester have you tom? do you like the bull rings or the bigger tracks better, I like the bigger tracks, not much fun if they have to muzzle the power a second after bringing it up, wish we had one more big dirt place to go to closer to auburn then terre haute, though might have that wish if irp does the temp dirt track thing like talked about in 2019 or 18 somewhere big enough to have silver crowns on dirt in indiana at least, since the mile was taken from us, I like the ripping speed like at eldora and irp, and frown at the push for smaller tracks, yes the action is more furious yes its easier on equiptment and more a drivers skill, but I like seeing the cars show what they can do, and am disconscerted at the loss of tracks to auto salvage buisnesses buying them up, the only plus side is that its still used for cars at least but lost soo many tracks in the last 20 years
Terre Hautes straights ate just too long for sprint car racing. Eldora works cuz of the banking & the short straights. Sprint cars are to badazz for big long half miles like this. 3/8m or 1/4 tracks are best. Both for the safety of drivers but the fans as well
I seem to see much better races at Terre Haute than Tri State. Bout to give up on 1/4s.
