Since his last drag-and-drive appearance in the fall of 2022, Finnegan has made strides to get the ‘Blasphemi’ 1955 Chevrolet ready for its next drag-and-drive outing, which many have speculated will be Hot Rod Drag Week this year.

While his 2018 Camaro was getting upgrades in power, Steve Willingham was plotting his second entry for drag-and-drive competition. “During the 2021 season I decided to do a purpose-built drag-and-drive car.”

“We tentatively are planning to head to Haltech in mid-September to put the car on their dyno. Once the final details are complete, we will test and make sure everything is lined out before stepping back into the drag-and-drive arena.”

“Part of the motivation to compete at Sick Summer was also to experience it with my youngest daughter, Brianna. Let her see what all the hard work was for. I made a week full of memories with my daughter. We completed the event, drove an untested car 590 miles and made passes at four drag strips I'd never been to before.”

“I think there will be a whole lot of awesome things to experience on Death Week. The Pacific Coast Highway, Death Valley, and the Grand Canyon just to name a few. It will be a 2-for-1 with the awesome drives, and we get to race too.”

While riding in the family car with his father, an 11-year-old Alan Whitaker sees a first generation (1970-1972) Chevrolet Monte Carlo. He asks his dad “what kind of car is that?” Once he got the Monte Carlo answer, Alan never got it out of his head. “At that point, I knew I’d own one. From the age 15 onward, I went everywhere looking for one.”

Brent Leivestad is a busy man. From running PFI Speed, to participating in a pro import class for the Premiere Street Car Association (PSCA), even having a Honda build catch on fire at the shop, Brent thought he had seen it all.

Building on his 2022 Sick Week experience, Mike Janousek decided he wanted a car with more safety equipment that would allow him to grow and chase quicker elapsed times.

A field was selected from drivers and rides that had completed a drag-and-drive, as well as Tom Bailey and Alan Whitaker bringing out a pair of fresh builds for exhibition passes.

Encompassing ten days and nearly 2,000 miles across three states, Death Week is a one-time drag-and-drive that you won’t want to miss! Registration opens today at 9 am Eastern Standard Time.

Following an eventful first Sick Shootout at the National Muscle Car Association (NMCA) Power Festival in July, the Sick Shootout returns to the Mickey Thompson NMCA All-American Nationals held this weekend at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.

We’ll admit we’re biased, but the great thing about drag-and-drive cars is the ability to do more than one thing with the same vehicle. In some cases, a vehicle can do more than just street driving and drag racing, and that’s the case with this 2020 DF Goblin kit car.

Richard Guido is a name that most of the drag-and-drive community has heard before, as the Canadian hasn’t been shy about flogging his trusty ’65 Pontiac GTO at a number of events over the last several years.

For Trevor and Erin Branden, this 2010 GT-R has become a jack of all trades. After owning over a dozen of the Nissan Skyline models (including one that he built for the SEMA show), Trevor made the move to this GT-R in 2011, and it’s been a storied history since then.

“I've always loved racing since the day my grandpa got me into it. But it's a lot more enjoyable doing it with the Jeep, because it feels like he's right there with me when I'm piloting the Jeep and watching over me.”

Located on the Southern California Fairgrounds, Street Legal Dragway marks the first track in California sanctioned under the World Drag Racing Alliance (WDRA).

The no prep event featured several cars and trucks from the recent Roadkill Nights event, including fellow drag-and-drive competitors Nick Diehl, Travis Martin, and Adam Hodson.

After a three-week break in events on the 2023 drag-and-drive calendar, the inaugural Nostalgia Nights was recently completed at Bunker Hill Dragstrip and Muncie Dragway.

In his fourth full season of NHRA Top Fuel drag racing, Justin Ashley leads the points standings and is looking for his first national championship in 2023.

Adam Wright’s first big event in 5 years would be the 2023 edition of MotorTrend’s Roadkill Nights. “It was my first event of 2023, as well as my first time ever racing on a street,” said Wright.
