Drag-and-drive events have evolved into multi-dimensional experiences that attract enthusiasts from every corner of the automotive world. Hardcore competitors, people who simply enjoy driving their vehicles, and those eager to embrace the drag-and-drive challenge all have a home at these events. The Sick Week series has helped grow this culture, and we’re here for it.

Every Sick event is packed with automotive fanatics from all walks of life. You’ll see everything from street-driven Pro Mods to wild automotive creations that seem to exist purely out of spite. Then there’s the whole group of participants in the Sick Ward who are there simply to be part of the fun and make the drive. Each venue along the route is filled with fans eager to see these incredible machines in action. Sick Week feels like a traveling music festival, where the racetrack is the stage, and the cars are the performers.
