No Time Kings 2025: New Racing Series Brings Big Money and Nighttime Action to the Streets

Well folks, there's a new race series hitting the scene in 2025, and it’s shaping up to be something street racers and fans won't want to miss. It’s called No Time Kings, and it's got all the ingredients for a killer show—big payouts, real street-style no-time racing, and a familiar name at the helm: Jim Howe.

Now, for those who don't know, Jim Howe is no rookie when it comes to fast cars and fierce competition. He’s a former Street Outlaws and NPK racer with over 30 years of racing experience under his belt. After his successful run with Speed Promotions last year, he’s stepping up to launch this new series under the IHRA banner. And let us tell you, it looks like he’s going all in.

What's the Deal with No Time Kings?

This isn't just another local shootout. No Time Kings will be a four-race series kicking off in July 2025, with follow-up events in August, September, and October. While the full schedule and track locations haven’t been released yet, what we do know is that each race will be held at night—true to the roots of street racing. No daytime eliminations here. They'll be doing a chip draw just before sunset and running under the lights. That’s the kind of vibe we like.

Oh, and did we mention the payout? We’re talking over $300,000 in guaranteed money across the four events. That’s no joke. With cash like that on the table, you can bet we’ll see some of the fastest, nastiest rides in the country coming out of the woodwork.

Classes & Competition

The class lineup includes:

• Pro Outlaws No Time

• 28” Small Tire

• Blue Collar Outlaw

• Run What Ya Brung (Big Tire, No Rules)

• 6.0 Index

• 7.90 Index

• Junior Dragsters

• Daily Driver

  
  

The "Run What Ya Brung" class is already turning heads. Early info suggests there are no restrictions—you can bring out your promod if that’s your flavor. No steel-body-only rule, no major limits—just straight-up race what you’ve got and let it eat. That alone will attract a serious crowd, both in the pits and in the stands.

As for the other classes, we’re still waiting on full rule breakdowns, but based on the structure, it’s clear there’ll be something for everyone—from grassroots racers to heavy hitters.

Why It Matters

This series isn't just about big money or flashy cars. It's about bringing that raw, gritty, nighttime race energy back into the spotlight. No Time Kings is aiming to give racers and fans a series that’s less about production and more about the racing. And with Jim Howe leading the charge, expectations are high. He knows what it takes to run a successful event, and we’ve seen him deliver before.

At Street Outlaws Talks, we’ll be following this series closely all season long. We’re excited to see how this thing shakes out, especially with so much cash and talent on the line. Whether you're a die-hard small tire fan or just love watching a promod launch in the dark, No Time Kings is bringing something fresh to the scene in 2025.

Make sure to stay locked in with us here at Street Outlaws Talks—we’ll have updates, class breakdowns, race results, and behind-the-scenes stories all year long. Let the chips fall where they may... this summer, the kings will race under the lights.
