Sometimes, a good build gets a bit quicker than expected, and rather than continue on, an enthusiast may choose to take a step back to plot out the future use, and the changes necessary.

That was the case for Tom Kuepper, and although it caused his first Sick Summer event absence in three years, he’s honing in on quick times at the upcoming Sick Michigan Miles.

Former 6-time UFC and MMA fighter and commentator Randy Couture was involved in a testing crash at Flying H Drag Strip in Missouri Tuesday, July 8th.

Reports are that Couture was airlifted to a burn center in Kansas City with injuries.

According to TMZ and ESPN sources, Couture suffered first and second-degree burns, smoke inhalation, and trauma injuries in the crash.

Couture, a motorcycle enthusiast and former US Army Sergeant, was announced as part of the SCAG Racing expansion with the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) to race the popular Pro Mod class.

The Cryer family’s unique 1963 Divco Milk Truck has become a cool staple at several events, including Sick Week Presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive, and Sick Summer Presented by Motion Raceworks.

Nick Cryer has wheeled the Divco plenty of times, including Sick Summer in 2024. But one year later, Nick traded the Divco for a different ride for his Sick Summer appearance, and nearly grabbed a Sick The Mag orange helmet in the car’s debut.

We first broke news on this 1933 Ford build a few years ago (reported as a ’34 model, but Nick discovered since that time it is a ’33). JT Race Cars handled the initial construction, and after a little bit of motivation from a friendly wager with fellow Sick Summer competitor Mike Turner, Nick and John Tehaar got the ’33 Ford finished up this year in time to test before Sick Summer.
