As an epic 2024 season of racing winds down, so does the drag-and-drive calendar. Only six events remain on the 2024 event listings, with Australia hosting a trio of them, and the other three remaining in the United States.

But that isn’t stopping some familiar names from getting out to other drag racing events and putting in work before much of North America gets too cold to continue racing, and we count the days until Sick Week Presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive starts on January 27th, 2025.

The second of two Sick the Magazine drag-and-drive shootouts on the 2024 schedule rolled into Summit Motorsports Park for the NMCA All-American Nationals presented by Mickey Thompson Tires and Wheels last weekend.

With an all-star cast including Tom and Aydan Bailey, Steve and Kyle Morris, and four drivers out of Big 3 Racing (Kevin Hansinger, Bob Hess, Chuck Stefanski and Rick Trunkett), it was a solid show.

The 2024 drag-and-drive season has moved past the halfway point, and also been featured in a few racing series as well. One of those is the National Muscle Car Association, and the second Sick the Mag Drag-and-Drive Shootout for 2024 will take place at this week’s Mickey Thompson NMCA All-American Nationals at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.

For the fifth time since 2019, the Midwest Drags was completed last week. Starting in Kentucky and visiting two tracks in the state, the visited a single track in Ohio. The group then returned to Kentucky to complete the week, and crown ten class winners.

Originally opened in 1958, Thompson Drag Raceway was billed as one of the early race tracks in Ohio. But now, rumors are circulating that the future of the drag strip may be in jeopardy.
