Two years ago, the popular Bradenton Motorsports Park was hit with a massive amount of wind and rain from Hurricane Ian, and the resulting damage forced the popular FL2K event north to Gainesville Raceway in northern Florida, where it was completed.

This time around, Hurricane Helene skirted the area, but Bradenton Motorsport Park survived the weather to host their FL2K event over the weekend.

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.

As in 2023, a stacked field of Pro Mod entries came into Florida looking to secure the $100,000 payday in the World Series of Pro Mod event, and every qualifying hit mattered. The 32-car field would see a .066 of-a-second spread amongst the 32 qualifiers, a tight field indeed.

The event, which will pay in excess of 1.3 million dollars, will showcase the quickest and fastest classes in drag racing, including the nitro-burning Top Fuel Dragsters and Fuel Funny Cars.
