After a solid year that started with a top five finish in the competitive 275 Street Race class at Sick Week Presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive, Kevin Schweizer also participated in a couple events with the National Muscle Car Association and National Mustang Racers Association. Running the True Street class with his 1980 Mercury station wagon, Kevin picked up multiple victories, and for 2025, he’s ready to turn up the power.

Knowing the wagon has more potential on tap than the 8.50-second roll cage limit he used for most of the 2024 season, Kevin made the decision to upgrade the roll cage to 25.5-spec. This would make the wagon legal down to 7.50-second elapsed times, but Kevin wanted to retain room for four. “The rear seat isn’t that bad actually. My chassis guy even tacked welded the bar and tried it to make sure we had room.”

Although the drag-and-drive calendar can get a little thin on events in the fall, the popular Street-N-Yeet brings out a good contingent of competitors each November. At this year’s event, Nick Rinehart debuted a brand-new ride to the drag-and-drive world, a 1967 Chevrolet Nova, signaling his return to racing after sixteen years away from the sport.

For those that might recognize Nick’s name, it’s because one of his past racing exploits involved the National Muscle Car Association with a 1972 Nova in the early 2000s in heads-up competition. Now, he’s ready to drive into the drag-and-drive world.

“My goal from day one has always been to drag-and-drive this car, before it even had the popularity that it has today. I did class racing, and wanted to have a new challenge, and I think I’m up for it.”

The Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor was a vehicle you never wanted to see in your rear-view mirror on the street. Originally employed by thousands of police agencies, Jon Moore took one and turned it into a crazy drag-and-drive ride!
