With time spent in the automotive performance industry, as well as a good amount of time spent drag racing, it’s fair to say that Greg Overman is an enthusiast.

But when one of his friends participated in a Sick The Mag drag and drive event, it would set in motion a small group of friends attending the Edelbrock Sick 66 event in 2024.

That same group of friends will embark on another drag and drive adventure together, as set their sights on the Edelbrock Sick Smokies event, October 12-19th, 2025 .

Sick The Magazine’s first “one off” event in 2023, Death Week, put the competitors through three states, four different race tracks, and over 2,000 miles street miles. One of those competitors was Daniel Roberts with his stick shift 1996 Ford Mustang, and his adventure would lead to a yearly adventure for Roberts, Overman and a few others.

From the first event in 2022, Sick Week Presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive has gained a reputation of a drag and drive event not to be missed. Four world-class race tracks, great track prep, optimal weather, and scenic drives combine to create a platform where competitors consistently deliver record-setting performances.

As such, it also came with high demand for competitor spots, which sell out each year in a matter of minutes. The 2026 edition of Sick Week is no different, with just minutes ticked off the clock before the ‘Sold Out’ tag appeared.

But if you didn’t grab one of those coveted spots, Sick The Magazine will host multiple event opportunities in 2026, giving you the chance to experience a new adventure. Plus, we will offer more chances than ever in 2026 to get a competitor spot into Sick Week for 2027.
