Devin Vanderhoof is not one that’s content with running with the pack, or just ahead of it. Just when you think Devin has the ’93 Mustang convertible known as ‘Big Ern’ on rails, he makes big changes.
After winning several events, including a pair of class wins at Sick Week Presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive, the Mustang had become a unique ride in the drag and drive community.
But after an early exit at this year’s Sick Summer, Devin is planning some big changes, and this isn’t the first time Devin has made big changes for bigger and better performances.

After Mother Nature once again showed she was in control of outdoor activities, Sick Summer Presented by Motion Raceworks rolled into Tri State Raceway for Day Four.
We were greeted with sunny skies and a full day of racing activities, but for some competitors, it was a struggle. For some competitors, it took until their last opportunity of the day to get the run they needed for a shot at the coveted Sick The Mag orange helmet.
