Edelbrock Sick 66 2024: Chris’s Drag-and-Drive Triumph

There’s a special kind of grit required when you strap into your car, race hard, then drive hundreds of miles to do it all again. That’s exactly what Chris did in October 2024, taking on Edelbrock Sick 66, a drag-and-drive event spanning six tracks and more than 1,300 miles along Historic Route 66.

🚦 Six Tracks, One Goal

Chris lined up at six different eighth-mile dragstrips, each one bringing new conditions, challenges, and chances to chase consistency. Here’s how he stacked up:

• Rogersville, MO – 6.6665 ET @ 113.09 mph

• Asbury, MO – 6.6660 ET @ 112 mph

• Tulsa, OK – 6.6690 ET @ 110.42 mph

• Amarillo, TX – 6.6870 ET @ 110.13 mph

• Albuquerque, NM – 6.8155 ET @ 110.38 mph

• Roswell, NM – 6.6253 ET @ 113.32 mph

By the end of the week, his final average was 6.6882 seconds at 111.56 mph—a number that speaks volumes about the car’s consistency and Chris’s ability to stay sharp through changing altitudes, climates, and track prep.

🏆 Awards & Overall Placement

Chris didn’t just survive the week—he won Quickest Ford with those average numbers (6.68822) among all Mustang/Ford entrants.
On top of that, he placed 15th out of 176 cars in the overall standings — putting him in the top 10% of a stacked field.

Those results are proof that consistency, smart tuning, and mechanical reliability matter just as much—if not more—than outright speed when you’re pushing a car day after day.

🛣️ More Than Just a Race

Edelbrock Sick 66 isn’t your run-of-the-mill drag event. It’s part adventure, part test of endurance. Not only did Chris have to perform on six different tracks, but he also had to drive long highway legs between them. Route 66 wasn’t just a setting — it was part of the challenge: shifting altitudes, changing weather, and the possibility of mechanical setbacks all playing a role.

Chris’s performance in 2024 is more than lines in a results sheet. It’s a story of planning, perseverance, and proving that a Mustang can do the work—not just the show.
