At Sick The Magazine, we started with an idea that a print magazine dedicated to the drag-anmd-drive community was overdue. Tom Bailey and Luke Nieuwhof put in the efforts, and the first print copy of Sick The Magazine was released in 2021.

But we didn’t stop there, as Tom dove into the event side of the community with our first drag-and-drive event, Sick Week, held in 2022. Sick Summer and Death Week were added for the 2023 calendar year, and Sick Week that year also marked the start of Sick the Mag’s vehicle giveaways!

After doing his first drag-and-drive in 2018, Chris VanWerden was asked by father Rick about building an A/FX (Factory Experimental) ride for drag-and-drive gasser use. Just over 5 years later, they can see the finish line on the '65 Dodge build.

2024 has been epic for Sick the Magazine - we’ve done two great events - Sick Week and Sick Summer - and done three vehicle giveaways. But we’re not even close to done for the year, and here’s our next vehicle giveaway: this 1962 Chevy II Gasser!

It’s easy to stare at a clean 1967 Chevrolet Nova, but Corey Bohl’s Chevy takes that factor up a notch with the cool gasser vibe. Powered by a small block Chevy with a tunnel ram and a pair of Holley carburetors on top, the cool factor increased when Corey slid a manual trans in the transmission tunnel. Could it all survive Sick Summer?

“I can’t think of a better way to do a trial run of the route for this fall’s Edelbrock Sick 66 event. We will definitely be having an adventure driving back to Missouri.”

“In the meantime, my dad had so much fun at Drag Week in 2019, that we started building a gasser for him afterwards. “

“We decide that one pass is good enough, and begin enjoying some beverages, watching some racing, and getting caught up with some of the greatest people on earth-Sick Weekers.”
