As one of the participants that’s attended every year of Sick Week presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive, Matt Lamphier has experienced the highs and lows of a drag-and-drive event. He won the hotly-contested 235 Outlaw Street Race class at Sick Week in 2022, but had the reversal of fortune the last two years of Sick Week. But Matt and his wife / co-pilot Meg have a plan for 2025 to return to winning ways.

One year after scoring a coveted Sick the Magazine class-winning orange helmet, Matt and the LS-swapped 1992 Mazda Miata known as “The Turtle” had the engine lock up less than an hour from his day two destination – Bradenton Motorsports Park. Last year he exploded an engine.

Can Matt and Meg find the magic from their 2022 Sick Week and collect a second helmet in 2025?

“I’ve never run a seven-second pass, and if I can get one, I’ll leave a happy man.” Considering Kyle Williams finished second in the small tire class at the 2023 Miles of Mayhem event, TX2K would give him a solid chance for that 7-second blast.

After six days of racing, weather and personal best for more than just a few drivers, the 25th anniversary of TX2K is in the books, and champions have been crowned in the thirteen drag racing classes, as well as four roll racing classes.

Making a move from the now defunct Houston Raceway Park, Texas Motorplex would welcome thousands through their gates to witness some quick times and fast speeds in the drag racing and roll racing segments for TX2K.
