The official route for Sick Week 2025 Presented By Gear Vendors Overdrive is now available for your pre-event pleasure.
Covering 845 miles throughout Georgia and Florida to reach the five race days, competitors will see the surf and the swamps as they prove their street cars in the real world.
But first things first, we need to talk about today’s announcement of the 1969 Camaro Pace Car Giveaway.
Route Released for Sick Week 2025 Presented By
I mean, come on. Just look at the thing. Oh, and did we mention that spectator tickets are on sale? Get them in AND get entries into for the 69 Pace Car GIVEAWAY!
Alright, so onto the route! The first day is the longest, the stretch from SGMP to Bradenton Motorsports Park. Every year we do Sick Week we have to get through this part, so we might as well get it out of the way early! There’s 320 miles to cover with a lot of interstate ( a good chance to activate the Gear Vendors Overdrive). The reason we don’t send this drive onto the back roads is because it gets dark early in January, and especially combined with the late finishes of day one, we don’t want people dodging deer and Florida Man all over the roads (are you reading this, Mike Pryka?).
The first checkpoint for the week and the only one of the day is the new Leadfoot City eighth-mile drag strip just outside Brooksville, FL. The team at Leadfoot are bringing some awesome energy to this new venue and will open up for our Sick Week entrants on Tuesday, January 28 to check it out.
Day two (218 miles) tackles the cross-peninsula stretch from Bradenton to Orlando Speed World. Not too far from BMP is the first checkpoint, Charlotte Webb’s Pub. This biker bar feels like it is in the middle of nowhere but will be a hive of activity on Wednesday, January 29. The drive continues through citrus country before steering north on the east coast, where racers will spend some time on US-1 passing by those stereotype Florida palm trees and waterside views. The second checkpoint for the day will be at Larsen Motorsports, home to some of the baddest jet dragsters in the world! There’s going to be food trucks, tours, and even some jet dragster demonstrations (times to come soon) so make sure you plan on hanging out and enjoying the atmosphere into the night.
Day three (179 miles) will depart from Orlando Speed World to Titusville on Thursday, January 30, following much of the route we took from the first Sick Week, before heading north to Daytona Beach. The first checkpoint is Aunt Catfish’s on the River, a waterside restaurant and bar. We will head towards the coast again before turning inland to visit the only checkpoint that has been repeated at every Sick Week — Hoot Owl Farmhouse Ice Cream. From there it is just a short drive to Gainesville where there is a non-compulsory checkpoint at KSR Fabrication, who will once again host an open day/night.
The final drive day (127 miles) leaves Gainesville on Friday, January 31 and follows the country roads of central Florida to Lake City for our only checkpoint of the day at Halpatter Brewing. There will be live music and street closures from the city to help make this a fun final checkpoint for the week. With a late start to racing on Saturday, plan on enjoying this stop for a Friday night party.
