Sick Summer Presented by Motion Raceworks Track Shirts Designs Are Finalized – Days 3 and 4 Revealed - Get Yours Exclusively at Each Track During Sick Summer!
Although advertising will likely never go out of style, a lot of people believe that events and series are bolstered by chatter on social media, endorsements, and even merchandise sales.
Think about it; if you see someone with an event or track on their shirt or hat, it could lead to striking up a conversation. It could even lead to someone new attending an event based on seeing that cool shirt.
Sick Summer Presented by Motion Raceworks is three days away: June 9th-14th!! It’s the way to start your summer right: 350 cars, 4 different race tracks, awesome checkpoints, and over 600 miles of street driving! Click here for all the details!
Event shirts are not a new concept, and I’d bet the house that thousands of drag-and-drive enthusiasts have closets and drawers full of them. But Tom Bailey and the Sick the Magazine crew went a step further; let’s not only do event shirts for Sick Week / Sick Summer / Sick 66 and the Sick Wards of each event, but also incorporate limited edition t-shirts for each track day of the event.
We were the first to do it at Sick Week Presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive, and thanks to our awesome designer Garrett Olsen, each and every Sick Summer track have featured limited edition t-shirts for each track day of the event. The only way to get these shirts? On site at each track on each day!
Each track on Sick Summer has a good bit of history, and Garrett works in some cool extras as well as past participants from Sick Week and Sick Summer. Each design also incorporates a “spirit animal / Where’s Waldo?” item; can you find it on each shirt?
For the 2024 edition of Sick Summer, Byron Dragway marks the start and finish point of the week. So as tradition dictates, there will be two versions of that track shirt, only available on the day we’re there! We’ve shown you days one and two, today we reveal days three and four!
Day 3 brings us to Tri-State, the lone track we visit in the state of Iowa. The 7-second 1964 Triumph Spitfire of Timothy Blythe, who has competed on every Sick Week as well as last year’s Sick Summer, takes the center spot.
We see the front end of the “Hustlin Hillbilly” ’55 Chevrolet of Darwin Peterson on the left, while the right side features the trailer and back end of the Price family station wagon of Robbie Price.
The fourth day takes the event to Wisconsin and Great Lakes Dragaway, where spectators welcomed us in masses last year. The Sick Summer Super Street class champion, Corey Thompson’s 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle, sits front and center.
The front end of the nitrous-sniffing 1972 Mercury Marquis station wagon of Robbie Price enters the frame on the left side, while we catch the trailer and quarter panel of the 7-second stick shift Mustang of Jeremy Howell on the right side.
We will return with the shirt designs for the final day later this week, as well as a cool “overall” look of how the shirt back designs all connect together. Each of these unique t-shirts will ‘debut’ at the featured track, and will feature a limited quantity!
We sold out of every track shirt at Sick Summer last year, so plan to get yours as soon as you get through the gates!
The best way to start a fun-filled summer is Sick Summer Presented by Motion Raceworks! 6 days, 4 tracks, over 600 miles, and one hell of a road trip! See the 6-second 200-mph rides of Alex Taylor, Bryant Goldstone, Cleetus McFarland, Clark Rosenstengel, Nick Taylor, and over 300 more street cars and trucks, as they travel the roads and battle on the drag strips, of the Midwest.
