Following an Eventful Sick Michigan Miles, Tom Kuepper Continues to Set New Personal Bests During a Test Session at Great Lakes Dragaway

Since the first Sick Summer event in 2023, Tom Kuepper has made an appearance with his former farm truck, a 1994 Ford F-150, on our yearly visit to Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin in June.
