Welcome back to 1320video, where the rubber meets the road and the engines roar with power. Today, we're at Orlando Speedway for the highly anticipated Sick Week 2024. This is the Super Bowl of drag racing, folks, where the fastest and craziest cars come out to play. We've got a whopping 336 cars on the property, including some absolute beasts in the unlimited class, with their mind-boggling 5-6 second runs. And let's not forget the stick cars, with a staggering 27 of them ready to tear up the track.

One of the standout cars is Alex Taylor's C-Red Camaro, a naturally aspirated monster that's sure to leave jaws on the floor. She's aiming for a 6-second average for the week, and her first pass of 6.79 seconds is a promising start. The team made some changes to the setup, including a bigger engine and larger turbos, and it seems to be paying off. Meanwhile, the Opal Astra had a bit of a mishap, with some damage from going into the sand, but they're confident they can make a quick fix and get back on the road.

But it's not just about the speed demons. We've got some familiar faces, like Jeff, who's looking to beat the Dragon Drive average record of 6.19 seconds. He did a solid 6.15-second pass, and you can see the determination in his eyes. And let's not forget the Roadmaster wagon, which had a heart-stopping moment when it hooked up hard and took the driver on a wild ride. Thankfully, the damage is minimal, and they're ready to get back out there.

Sick Week 2024 is off to an exhilarating start, with cars pushing the limits and drivers giving it their all. From the lightning-fast runs to the heart-stopping moments, this is what drag racing is all about. Stay tuned for more action-packed days ahead as these incredible machines battle it out for glory on the quarter-mile strip.
