In a season when most places are too cold to enjoy drag racing, Sick Week presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive has provided a place for competitors and enthusiasts to participate in the first drag and drive event of the year since 2022.
For the fifth edition of Sick Week, the weather would dip into near or below freezing temperatures for the majority of the week. And although the cold temperatures would require adjustments to track times and waredrobes, the resulting air qualify would bring out some amazing performances, some new records, and the first Sick Bounty claimed.
Following an eventful Day One of Sick Week presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive at host track Gainesville Raceway, more than 300 competitors, and hundreds of Sick Ward enthusiasts, rolled northward to South Georgia Motorsports Park for Day Two action.
We were once again greeted with cool temps, and for the first time in three days, the temperatures started to warm up a bit into the afternoon, but nowhere near as hot as the race track.
Sick The Magazine has learned that Tri-State Raceway in Earlville, Iowa is official for sale. The facility, which has hosted a stop on Sick Summer presented by Motion Raceworks since 2023, now faces uncertainty after the 2026 season after hosting races for more than a quarter-century.
