Pro versus average Joe’s. We are at Angel Park speedway in Sun, Prairie Wisconsin. They have a smaller midget division called the badger series. They raise a less horsepower four-cylinder motor. This is the K 20 motor. They also run a eco-tech motor and I was asked to drive one of the cars while we were up there, racing the national midget. I was unable to make practice in that set the night Behind. Turns out it was pretty good entertainment for my KZfaq channel as always. Thanks for watching.

Thanks T’Mez. Us Hoosier Boys were somewhat skeptical when you broke through here. You have proven to be a clean driver throughout your career. That is what racing is all about. You paved the way for many talented drivers from Cali’. We are proud to have you in our racing community. The Badgers are gaining in popularity as well, partially in thanks to you. Thanks for talking good driver skills wherever you go.

I love it that the k-series Hondas found a home in midget racing. I think it will help the smaller teams get some more power for dollars spent. There’s tons of parts and aftermarket support for them engines.

Absolutely. Here in the UK we can pick them up for £900/$700 and they can hold their own against Hayabusas and other high capacity bike engines.

Glad to see you back at the Prairie!! Tough luck bud. Always loved watching guys start in the back and run it all the way to front here. I grew up at this track. Every Sunday with my grandparents, it was our church so to speak. Guys like Stan Fox, Rich Vogler, Kevin Olsen, Hans Lien, Peppe Marchese, Dan Boorse, Dean Billings, and the list goes on and on. I wish I had been home to come out in person. Next year. :)

I love Angell Park, such a cool place, such a great track, seen all of the greats there at one point. McDermand definitely no slouch on that track in the Badger ranks. Daniel Robinson is cagey. Adam Taylor may be the real deal. Too bad on the Shattered Dreams. I did not get there Sunday night to watch, was still at the Rock Island Grand Prix kart races.

I recently attended the Lucas Oil Series race at Port Royal. I always go in the pits to talk with drivers and crew. Believe it or not only a few knew who you are and that's sad! You really, somehow, need to get east more often so that after the event folks will know who Tmez is. I'm the son of a dirt track racer. Dad started when I was 3, I'm now 60. I've seem many of wheel men and without a doubt, you're one of the best out there. It' sad to think you'll only be known on the other side of the country. I was at the high limit race at Grandview Speedway. When he wasn't in the car Kyle Larson was on top of a big box truck that was parked in the pits on turn 1 and 2 watching, studying every move. That's why he's so damn good!

@@tmezTv man that guys builds the best Honda Midget motors in the U.S.! unfortunately if you want to be competitive with badger midgets you still need a $15k Ray K series. Yeah it might be half price of a esslinger or Stanton, but blowing up a $15k motor would still shut most people out for the season and there is guys putting 3-5 of these motors in a year! I’d love to get out there and do it, but at that price it’s just unfathomable
