This 1993 Mustang Cobra, one of just 4,993 produced, doesn’t lead a pampered life where some would judge it based on correct factory parts, but instead cracks off 9-second runs with a stick shift in the tunnel as the factory intended!

“We’re not looking for a ton more horsepower, just trying to make the right changes and get the overall run better. 215 mph last year shows we were on the right track.”

A drag racer since he got his license at age 16, Chris Rizro hopes to redeem himself and “finish while actually running to potential” in 2024.

With over 60 years in racing, including racer, track worker, promoter and manager, Carl was a big part of expanding drag racing in not just the central part of the state of Florida, but on a much bigger scale.

The response to both has been a combination of shock and awe, as well as wondering who might step up to take possession of these 6-second and 7-second proven rides.

“I have missed radial tire racing since I left it. Radial Versus the World class has gotten soft, and we’re going to come back and whip that class back into shape.”

It’s been 8 years since a Street Outlaws ride has been in contention for a drag-and-drive victory. Will 2024 Sick Week see history made?

“For the first few years of my Hellcat life, it was my daily driver and I absolutely love driving the car. I actually don’t even own a trailer. I drive my car to and from the track, and I somehow manage to always make it home at the end of the day.”

“I always wanted a small tire and big tire car. I bought it in turn key condition, and even raced it the night I bought at a cash days.”

“I have had a blast doing the burnout contests for the last several years. Been following the drag-and-drive stuff for years, and have always wanted to be a part of it, so I figured we would take a stab at it.”

Sick Week marked the first event to have limited edition t-shirts for each track day of the event. The only way to get these shirts? On site at each track on each day!

“We spent time putting this car together to hopefully make the drives between tracks easy and enjoyable. We're old dudes, so we need all the energy we can get at the tracks.”

“I love the camaraderie amongst the drag-and-drive competitors. Everyone wants to see each other hit the personal best, or make it to that next city and track.”

“We’re going to help him get his NHRA license, then let him run Sick Week in Rowdy Radial. Blayne deserves a shot in the seat.”

“I picked it because weather in New England sucks in January so it’s a good time to go south. The drag-and-drive format forces me to actually drive the car, and I like chaos.”

“This first drag-and-drive will be getting my feet wet and seeing what it's about. I'd like to see how my car stacks up against others.”

“Our number one goal is to make it through the week. We’re both trying to survive, since the cars are coming into their first drag-and-drive, especially Wyatt’s being a fresh build.”

Over the weekend, rumors began swirling that Sturgis Dragway in South Dakota might be closing for the 2024 season, and possibly beyond.
