There’s a new name in motorsport event services, set to bring professionalism and passion to tracks and series around the globe: Sick Prep.

Led by experienced track specialist Thomas Bemis, Sick Prep will be offering a range of services covering the event management spectrum including track surface preparation, track equipment sales, track safety, race directing, event staffing, ticketing and more. 

When discussing the needs of drag-and-drive competitors, the need to fuel your ride properly is near the top of the list, as is the need for traction to get the best time slip possible. Tom Bailey put an emphasis on both these items when constructing the first Sick Week event in 2022, and VP Racing was on board right from the start.

“Tom recognized the need to take the drag-and-drive experience to the next level,” said Jason Rueckert of VP Racing. “We wanted to do our part to help that vision, and that started at Sick Week two years ago.”

It’s a slippery slope; prep less and racers could (and normally will) complain about the track. Prep to the level that quick elapsed times demand, and the casual observer will wonder why all the time is spent watching tractors on the live feed or from the grandstands.
