Third Time’s the Charm – Nick Cryer Dominates Edelbrock Sick Smokies with a Trio of Personal Best Runs, the Overall Victory, and a Sick The Mag Orange Helmet!
After several years of entertaining audiences, and completing several drag and drive events in his family’s wheelstanding 1963 Divco (Detroit Industrial Vehicles COmpany) Milk Truck, Nick Cryer made the switch to a more serious 1933 Ford Coupe at the 2025 edition of Motion Raceworks Sick Summer.
Nick’s drag and drive debut came up a single day short of completion, but Nick would rebound at his next two drag and drive events, Hot Rod Drag Week and Edelbrock Sick Smokies. And we got a glimpse at what the ’33 Ford could deliver for performances in 2026.
From Wheelstanding Milk Truck to Wild 7-Second Passes, Nick Cryer Nearly Claims Unlimited Class Victory in ’33 Ford Debut at Sick Summer!
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.
