\nLatest Update \u00b7 Race Week<\/span>
\nThe Freedom of War is set for July 3-4 at WesTx Abilene Raceway. Full schedule, payouts and class rules are posted below. Live results and fresh photos from on-site shooter Matt Sutherland drop into this hub all weekend long.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

WesTx Abilene Raceway is throwing a Fourth of July street fight, and the ante is $150,000.<\/p>\n

The Freedom of War lands on the West Texas eighth-mile July 3-4, and the number that matters is this: $150,000 in guaranteed small-tire money. Off the trailer No time trials. No shakedowns. Racer gates open Friday morning, tech closes at 4:30, and the track goes hot at 6. From there it is win or load up.<\/p>\n

Over sixty-four cars, first come first serve, will chase a $75,000 top prize on 28\u00d710.5s. True Street runs for $10,000 guaranteed courtesy of Ridgeway Fabrications, Daily Driver pays $3,000, and the Lil\u2019 Gangstas doubles from $5,000 Friday to $10,000 Saturday. Stack index racing, a $5,000 Practice Tree Showdown, Powerwheels racing for the kids and fireworks over the top end Saturday night on top of that, and you have a two-day war worth the drive to Abilene.<\/p>\n

This is your home base for all of it. Schedule, payouts, class rules, photos and results, updating all weekend.<\/p>\n
