Hot Shot’s Secret has released the official trailer for “Freaks,” an upcoming documentary that dives into the unique and challenging world of Sick Week’s “Sick Freaks” class.

Sick Week, a grueling drag-and-drive competition, tests the limits of both street-legal race cars and their drivers. Participants race their vehicles at four different drag strips over five days, driving over 850 miles on public roads between tracks – all without support vehicles.

The “Freaks” trailer offers a quick look into the culture and environment of Sick Week participants who embrace unconventional builds. Forget cookie-cutter race cars; the Sick Freaks class celebrates the unusual, the unexpected, and the downright bizarre.

The trailer showcases various vehicles, hinting at everything from 2JZ-powered machines to diesel entries. It’s described as “the island of the misfit toys.”

The trailer doesn’t shy away from the realities of Sick Week. It captures the intensity of the competition, the inevitable mechanical breakdowns, and the sheer determination required to simply finish. Quick cuts show cars launching down the dragstrip, wrenches turning in frantic pit stops, and drivers pushing their machines to the limit.

But beyond the competition, “Freaks” also promises to explore the camaraderie and shared passion that unites these unconventional racers.

One participant remarked, “half of it is the people, but the other half of it is actually getting to use your car for 5 days at five different tracks.” Another adds, “driving down an interstate seeing 300 hot rods and trailers driving next to you is something so cool…”

The documentary seems poised to offer an authentic, behind-the-scenes look at a unique segment of the drag racing world. Ingenuity and perseverance are just as important as horsepower in this racing event, while a strong sense of community balances the spirit of competition.

“Freaks” isn’t just about winning; it’s about the journey, the challenges, and the shared love of pushing unconventional vehicles to their absolute limits. Hot Shot’s Secret will announce the release date for the “Freaks” documentary soon. Stay tuned by subscribing to their website.
