With a history of running competitive heads-up radial racing, Lamar Swindoll Jr. is used to the pressure that can come with producing repeatable performance and getting to the finish line on time. After producing mid 8-second elapsed times on both Sick Week and Sick Summer, Lamar decided it was time to turn up the wick for next month’s Edelbrock Sick 66.

For Rick and Jacki Steinke, they’ve been around the drag-and-drive scene for quite a while, and although both have done well behind the wheel, Rick’s 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle 4-door is the more well-known ride.

The Chevelle has been absent from the drag-and-drive scene in 2024, but the classic Chevy known as ‘Honk If Parts Fall Off’ will be hunting for a top spot on the upcoming Edelbrock Sick 66 event next month.

Tom Kuepper's version of the popular Ford half-ton platform served as a farm truck in its past life, but Tom wasn’t focused on field work when he picked up the truck. Sporting a 438 cubic inch Windsor-based engine with a pair of 78/75-millimeter turbochargers, Tom recently went hunting for a 8-second time slip!

Last summer, Chris VanWerden’s Nova garnered a lot of attention, but unfortunately for Chris, it was for the wrong reasons. But one year later, he’s burning the midnight oil to get it back in the game.

This ‘78 Camaro model might only have 41,000 original miles, but a few drag-and-drive events has spurred the owner to make changes for an upcoming appearance at Edelbrock Sick 66.

This 1972 Chevy Nova, sporting a nitrous-fed 355 cubic inch small block and manual transmission, provided the ticket to a father and son duo’s fun week in the Stick Shift class at Sick Week.

Jerry’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sedan delivery is a unique ride to begin with, and he combined old school vibes with a modern boost in power.

“Sick Summer 2023 was our first and only Drag-and-Drive, and was the best time I've had with the car in the 32 years i have had the car.”

Although there are hundreds of reputable engine builders, unless you are aiming for a restricted racing class or have specific needs, crate engines are a great choice for a street or strip build.
