Southern Street WARZ Brings No-Prep Racing to Abilene, Texas

Southern Street WARZ is all about heads-up, no-prep drag racing, Texas-style. That means flashlight starts, water burnouts, and an eighth-mile shootout where driver skill matters just as much as what’s under the hood. If you love gritty street racing vibes without leaving West Texas, this is your spot.

Friday Night Racing in the Big Country

Friday night kicks things off with 6.0 and 7.0 classes, both featuring a $150 buy-in and 100% payback. Gates open at 2 p.m., racing starts at 4 p.m., and the burnout pit fires up at 7 p.m. because, well… this is Texas.

General admission is just $10, or $20 if you plan on fogging up the Abilene skyline with tire smoke.

Saturday Race Day and Fireworks in West Texas

Saturday is the main event at WestTX Abilene Raceway, with gates opening early for racers and spectators rolling in at 10 a.m. Racing starts at 1 p.m. with classes like Daily Driver, True Street, Small Tire, and 28s.

As if that wasn’t enough, the night wraps up with fireworks at 8 p.m., giving you the most Texas ending possible to a full day of racing.

Kicking Off the New Year the Right Way

There’s no better way to start the new year in West Texas than the sound of hotrods ripping down the track. Southern Street WARZ is about showing up, hanging out, and starting the year with engines loud, tires hot, and racing season officially underway.
