After a decade of participating in drag and drive events, Sick The Magazine hosted our first event in 2022, Sick Week Presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive. 2026 will mark a five-year anniversary for the event, and since then we have added in the Motion Raceworks Sick Summer event, plus two to four more events each year.

We realize that an event is not just about the results and the awards, but “For The Adventure” as Tom Bailey, founder of Sick The Magazine, has stated since we started. That philosophy plays into not only how we approach each event, but also looks beyond the competition, including our Summit Racing Equipment Sick Ward Presented by PEAK Performance, and Sick Spit Show & Shine options.

At Sick the Magazine, we’ve shown that we can cover lots of different places with drag-and-drive events. From our yearly events, like Sick Week that uses the same tracks, or our one-off events like the recently completed Sick 66 where we covered over 1,000 miles of Route 66 from Missouri to New Mexico, we’re not afraid of the adventure. And for 2025, we’re bringing that adventure to our home state with Sick Michigan Miles!

“When the idea was first proposed, I started thinking about how nice the areas around northern Michigan are,” said Tom Bailey of Sick The Mag. “The more Luke Nieuwhof and I discussed it, it made sense that we could visit four great tracks, incorporate an August tradition for automotive enthusiasts, and do a 1,000 mile road trip in one weeks time.”

Sick Summer presented by Motion Raceworks has proved to be an amazing way to kick start your summer time fun with hundreds of fellow enthusiasts. The third installment of the event, scheduled to take place from June 15th through June 20th 2025, will again visit Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa for an amazing six days of drag-and-drive action.

First introduced at the 2022 edition of Sick Week for those that wanted to join the fun and drive without the worry of drag strip passes, the Summit Racing Equipment Sick Ward Presented by PEAK Performance is a great way for enthusiasts to join us for a full week of fun on Sick Week.
