The Stark family first joined the drag-and-drive community at the 2019 edition of Rocky Mountain Race Week, with father Tom Stark wielding the shifter handle in his ‘55 Chevy wagon stick shift entry. But just three later, son Blayne and daughter MaCayla moved into the driver’s seat.

What does one have to do with the other, and how does it sound like both rides might be even more fun than before? It all started when Jonathan Whitaker took his ‘93 Ford Mustang Cobra on this year’s Sick Week Presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive.

Offering a product catalog that is nearly 100-percent ‘Made in the USA’ sourced, Motion Raceworks has shown to be one of the companies in it for the long haul for not only the drag-and-drive community, but automotive enthusiasts in all walks of life.

“The drag-and-drive community is awesome. Total strangers help each other at a moment’s notice. People pull over to check on each other, but have no idea who they are. It’s fun to see all the unique and non-traditional builds. Overall, just a really fun event.”

This 1993 Mustang Cobra, one of just 4,993 produced, doesn’t lead a pampered life where some would judge it based on correct factory parts, but instead cracks off 9-second runs with a stick shift in the tunnel as the factory intended!

“We’re going to help him get his NHRA license, then let him run Sick Week in Rowdy Radial. Blayne deserves a shot in the seat.”
