Default $10,000+ dollar heads up 10.5/Outlaw race in Midland, Tx on Aug. 16th

I'm hearing $10,000+ dollars in prize money so far, this is a true 10.5/Outlaw heads up race at DTR (1/8 mile) in Midland, Tx Aug. 16.. I believe this is the most prize money they have had yet.

For more info, rules..etc..: http://www.westtexastruetenfive.com/

There could also be some more info popping up on www.rowdyrides.com in the near future as well, thats our local car site.

Its always a fun time to watch as well, for anyone interested in the area

Here are some pics i've done from previous races..

That track seems to really be doing well as of late. Seeing more and more fast cars making good passes on the smaller tire. The shut down is a bit short but guys on top of it don't seem to have any problem getting things shut down in time.
