Sick Week

Anyone watch Tom Bailey's Sick Week in Florida this week?
Awesome!
Not good for trying to work, had multiple screens going trying to work and watch racing at the same time....

I know there was some fast 3rd gens there
Dylan Carrol, Scott Klepinger, Curt Beyer.
I didn't catch the name of the big tire 3rd gen camaro (white, blue and red)

Those are the ones that stood out

Re: Sick Week

What's the story behind the name Sick Week? Call in sick to get the week off?

Re: Sick Week

I watched the Cleetus McFarland, KSR Racing, Cooper Bogetti and Alex Taylor coverage on YouTube. While I'm not a drag racer, these drive-and-race events look like a lot of fun.

I saw several 3rd gens going by in those videos, and was hoping to find out more.

I was goign to post here and ask if any of those 3rd gens belonged to a member here, but as I'm not a drag racer, I don't usually post in this forum. Wasn't sure what folks would think of it.

Re: Sick Week

I saw David Freiburger bought a red '86 TA just for this event. Afterwards he gave it to a 14 yr old girl whos father was participating in the event. Haven't seen much of it yet on youtube.

I know Scott Klepinger used to frequent here back in the day. He had a white camaro with a turbo v6 . Then went LS

Still not sure of Curt or Dylan, if they are on here

Re: Sick Week

I caught most of the highlight videos from Tom Baileys channel, steve morris's channel, KSR and cleetus videos too. I've always admired those who do these drag-and-drive events like hot rod drag week and rocky mountain race-week.

One day I would love to do one, I think my car could do it and probably just run n/a . none f those events come to the northeast. maybe one day, as all these get more popular.

Re: Sick Week

1320video has some nice coverage of the event as a whole. I'd love to do one as well, but also have the problem of living in the northwest. Maybe someday when I've got a truck and trailer that can haul a car a thousand miles or whatever to rocky mountain race week, and a week off of work to spare.
