With north of $50,000 on the line in payouts for the first Sick At The Rock Presented by Motion Raceworks, Rockingham Dragway saw some solid competition show up to battle in North Carolina. Despite the cool temperatures and losing a day on track to weather conditions, winners were determined on track before the clock struck midnight on Saturday April 12th.
Leading the headlines was the new Sick Street Challenge class, where Tom Bailey put up more than $30,000 for 32 categories. Originally designed to be a 2-day drag and drive, competitors would be required to turn in a minimum of one time slip from Friday and one from Saturday.
Because of late night Thursday showers, Friday’s racing was nixed. But the Sick Street Challenge class competitors would do the street drive and check point photos to cover half the requirements. Saturday featured four chances to make runs, with a competitor required to submit a pair of time slips for their average. Who walked away with their share of the $32K?
