“The drives are amazing, the people are awesome, every hotel ends up being a car show, and the new tracks are really my favorite part.”

“The original appeal (of a drag-and-drive) was really just the challenge, and it still is no question. But after competing in two now, I really just love the people and friendships you make along the way. We also get to stop at some pretty cool places that I otherwise probably would've never visited.”

Rock Falls Block Party, remember the name. It was only announced last week but I can already sense that this event within the event will become a Sick Summer tradition that’ll run long into the future. Why? Because we’ve been workshopping this idea for years and it’s too good to fail.

Justin Harvey admitted the amount of street racing around the area had gotten to such a peak, that either a street permit to do something, or building a race track were the likely solutions.

“Edelbrock Sick 66 sounds like an epic experience. I have a couple friends that are going to follow along in Sick Ward, so it’ll be a great time.”

So your buddy just called and said, “I’ve got a race car, I’ve got a week off work and I’ve got a passenger seat.” Sounds like you just got roped into a drag-and-drive! He might have even convinced you to pay for half the hotel bill…but you’d better take him or her up on the offer because co-piloting for a drag-and-drive event could be some of the best damn automotive fun you’ve ever had.

“I had wanted for some years to do a drag-and-drive. The first Sick Week, being close to home, really sparked a desire. So when this Chevelle was offered to me, I decided to do Sick Week 2024 with it.”

Purchasing your Motion Raceworks Sick Summer spectator tickets online before April 30, 2024 (including the Summit Racing Sick Ward Presented By PEAK Performance) just got a lot more interesting with the announcement that one lucky spectator will have the opportunity to drive away in this Pontiac Fiero!

The LT1 small block burned a piston, but Kesler Soucie looks at the glass half-full. “I decided to change over to a more serious semi-forged 6.0-liter LS platform. I'm excited to run quicker and faster this year, but I have a lot of work left to get the car ready.”

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.

“Sick Seconds 2.0 got put on the back burner for us to get the Dodge Durango and everything else ready. Just too many projects, only one fab guy.”

Recently, a pair of stick shift performances, one by a drag-and-drive competitor, as well as a Cadillac nearing the 6-second zone, got our attention from a test session in Michigan.

“A 3-second pass was never a goal of mine with this car and engine combo, because it didn’t seem very possible. But recently as we got faster, and the community started asking to see it, we decided to go for it!”

1320 Video invaded the Boostedboiz space in Tampa, Florida to get the details on the multiple builds, including a few things that have been swapped to Honda engines that you’ve probably not seen before.

Carolina Drag Cruise was completed this past weekend. The event is the third event of the 2024 drag-and-drive season, held between Shadyside Dragway in North Carolina and Union County Dragway in South Carolina.

Florida No-Time Racing hosts a pair of races at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, Florida each year, and after a two-week delay due to weather, Battle in the Bay 7 was completed yesterday at BMP.

Although he was a familiar sight in the “My Little Pony” Fox Mustang, Cali Nate also spent time behind the wheel of a single turbo Datsun 240 Z recently.

Wanting to get some more time on Dentley to find some better performance from the twin-turbo 426 cubic inch Gen 3 HEMI-powered ride, the event organizer told Clay Millican to bring the truck out.

We’ve just witnessed history. Last weekend, David and Aimee Gallimore became the first Americans to complete an Australian drag-and-drive event in their own vehicle. The intrepid explorers from Durham, North Carolina, accomplished the feat at the first-ever Hardass 1000 in an Australian-built Ford Falcon panel van powered by David’s beloved boosted Barra six. Lewis and Clarke, eat your hearts out!

Back in California after just north of 6,600 miles on their Sick Week 2024 trip, Danny Grubaugh messaged us with a headline: “The Gucci wagon will be getting some updates before its next drag-and-drive, and LS Fest West is on our radar.”
