Sick On The Green Registration Is Open - With Over $60,000 in Payouts – May 29th-31st, 2025 at Beech Bend Raceway Park in Kentucky
Despite the popularity of Sick The Magazine’s week-long major drag and drive events, Tom Bailey toyed with the idea of doing a smaller 2-3 day event format, with a shorter drive / cruise for street car-based classes, more categories with good payouts, and some additional classes to round out the event.
That idea, combined with some of the classes from the defunct National Muscle Car Association (NMCA) and National Mustang Racers Association (NMRA) series, has morphed into a pair of 3-day Sick The Mag events. The latest one, Sick On The Green, being held May 29th – 31st, 2025, is now open for registration!
Our Sick At The Rock Presented by Motion Raceworks event is only a couple weeks away, and we’re debuting a new class - the Sick Street Car Challenge class - with $32,000 up for grabs!! This two-day drag and drive format class is our newest format, and you don’t necessarily need to be the quickest overall. We have 32 different categories with $1000 up for grabs in each, and we’ve come up with some good ones to give every competitor a shot. It all takes place at Rockingham Dragway in North Carolina April 10th - 12th, 2025! For more details on Sick At The Rock, and the over $50K in payouts, CLICK HERE!
The second Sick The Mag 3-day event of 2025, Sick On The Green, boasting over $60,000 in payouts, lands at the popular Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. In addition to the popular Lil Gangsta’s class for a $10K payout, and Sick The Mag’s newest class, the Sick Street Car Challenge with over $30K in payouts, five popular classes will complete the list for Sick On The Green’s racing activities.
The five classes include:
- Small Tire Pro Stock: a 7-second naturally aspirated quarter-mile class on a 10.5" width slick.
- Coyote Stock: Ford cars with factory sealed Coyote crate engines and manual transmissions, on a 28 x 10.5" width slick tire, stick shifting to wheelies and 9-second times.
- Street Race 8.60 Index: Street cars and trucks vying in side-by-side competition, on an 8.60-second quarter-mile index, with a mandatory cruise.
- Open Comp: Cars and trucks in the 7-14 second range, quarter-mile competition format, using commonly accepted Open Comp class rules.
- Nostalgia Super Stock / Nostalgia Muscle Car Combo: 1955-1985 period-correct nostalgia cars in the 8-15 second range, on a quarter-mile distance, big and small tire cars (Nostalgia Super Stock), and small tire cars (Nostalgia Muscle Car).
The Sick Street Car Challenge, based on a two-day drag and drive format (Friday May 30th and Saturday May 31st), will compete on an eighth-mile distance. Street legal machines will battle for $32,000 in prize money across over two-dozen categories, with the ability to stack more than one category for huge payouts!
Here’s how the Sick Street Car Challenge class will work: each competitor will be required to hand in a total of three time slips to make up their average for the two days, with a minimum of one time slip from each day. The cruise route will be revealed to racers after their first run is handed in, and they must complete the route before racing begins on Saturday.
There are 32 categories available, from manufacturer awards such as Quickest Chevy and Quickest Ford, to engine types like Quickest Diesel and even Quickest Rotary, even Most Consistent and Best Street Race Average (5.25 or slower).
Each category carries a $1000 prize, and racers are eligible for any award they qualify for. Got the nastiest Dodge that’s also the quickest stick shift, spraying nitrous on a 235 tire? You could walk away with $4000 right there! A full list of the categories is available at the event page at sickthemagazine.com – CLICK HERE!
The class we will be debuting at Sick On The Green will be Lil Gangsta’s 5.30 No-Time, a class that combines a $10,000 winner-take-all payout with a no time slips / scoreboards off format to keep the competition interesting. The class is based around a 4-tenths pro tree, a 5.30 index, and a small tire format. For more details and class rules, visit our event page by CLICKING HERE!
