Sick Week Kick Starts a 2025 Drag-and-Drive Season - 30 Events on the Calendar
After a 2024 season with a record number of drag-and-drive events, the 2025 season is just a couple weeks away from rumbling to life.
Sick Week Presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive is the first of thirty drag-and-drive events we currently know of for 2025, and there is no doubt more will be added as the year progresses.
The first drag-and-drive of 2025, Sick Week Presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive, is just a couple weeks away! Combine winter temps with great tracks (and traction), and you get a truly awesome experience! Four tracks, two states and five days of beautiful views and quick runs!

With long-standing events like Hot Rod Drag Week back for the 20th anniversary, and Rocky Mountain Race Week celebrating its tenth year, several events returned for another year in 2024, including Redwood Rally, Miles of Mayhem, One Guy’s Garage Drag Weekend, and Southeast Street N’ Yeet.
We also saw some new events on the extensive list in 2024, as Drop the Hammer, Olympic Drag-and-Drive, and Big Sky Race Week were just a couple that pushed the number of drag-and-drive events scheduled in 2024 to 40 total. A couple did get canceled or postponed due to weather or poor registration numbers.
One thing to note was the strengthening of the presence of drag-and-drive outside the continental United States, as over a dozen events were on the schedule for 2024.
Sick the Mag held our second annual Sick Summer Presented by Motion Raceworks, as well as our second ‘one-off’ event with Sick 66 Presented by Edelbrock held in October.
For 2025, a few of the recognizable drag-and-drive events will expand their offerings. Sick the Mag will add another drag-and-drive to our pallet of offerings, with two ‘one-off’ events, Sick Michigan Miles Presented by Driven Racing Oil in August 2025, and Sick Smokies in October 2025, moving the number of Sick the Magazine drag-and-drive events to four for the year.
Rocky Mountain Race Week, which previously held 1.0 in June and 2.0 in September, will host MEGA Week in 2025, with upwards of 600 participants on two sections of competition during the same week! The first one sold out today, with over 200 ‘veterans’ returning.
Drop The Hammer will expand to a pair of events, with their Michigan event in May getting a second helping in North Carolina in September.
