The Weekly Reekie: When Not to Stick a Camera in Tom Bailey’s Face
One time I picked the wrong time to stick a camera in Tom Bailey’s face. It was at Sick Week 2023. Bradenton. Day two. Around 3:12pm. Racing was winding down for the day and the Sick Seconds 2.0 Camaro was having all kinds of problems. Tom was in the pits getting ready to make a last-ditch lick. He was perched on a tire, putting on a pair of those little race booties that the fast guys wear, and there was trouble on his mind.
The Weekly Reekie: The Rock Falls Block Party Will Be Sick
Rock Falls Block Party, remember the name. It was only announced last week but I can already sense that this event within the event will become a Sick Summer tradition that’ll run long into the future. Why? Because we’ve been workshopping this idea for years and it’s too good to fail.

The Weekly Reekie - Watch out Australia, Here Comes Harry and the Hardass 1000!
Have the lunatics taken over the asylum? That would seem to be the case in Shepparton, Victoria, Australia, where Harry Haig is preparing to host his own drag-and-drive event, the Hardass 1000.
The Weekly Reekie: Life and Death Week
The Winter 2024 edition of Sick The Mag has just dropped and I’m having a blast reading all the tales of torment and triumph from Death Week. Now that the dust has settled and most of the emotional scars have healed, I’m wondering why we aren’t planning to do it all again.
