Xtreme Raceway Park in Ferris, Texas, was the place to be for no-time racing’s biggest payday as “Big Jake” Harper and Dominique Brown hosted the Southern No-Time Nationals. The headline attraction was the $200,000-to-win Bear Shit Only Invitational Shootout, joined by classes like Bear Shit ASAG, Bear Shit Lil’ Gangstas, a 28/275 Shootout, an ASAG Shootout, and Outlaw Street. Stars including defending winner Travis Harvey, Justin Swanstrom, Marcus Birt, Manny Buginga, and even NHRA Top Fuel standout Antron Brown threw down in front of a packed house.

DI contributing photographer Randy Curtis was on the scene to capture the action.
