Thanks to Rick McKamey for the awesome drawing!

I'll be getting t-sirts made of this commemorating the epic road tour of 2024. This has the Sick 66 drag and drive tracks.
I have another being done with a more inclusive list of stops and sights by a different artist.

It was okay, very typical of a track that's been around a while (pits need repaved). It was a tight squeeze around the tower from the lanes to the burnout. It was a little tough to get lined up, but nothing hateful.
I guess you have a tie to it somehow?

Great drawing, and quite an accomplishment! Finishing those drag and drive events isn't easy, and your road trip must have been terrific, congrats!

Years ago my late FIL, he was an accomplished artist, writer and a freelance illustrator with several books to his credit and many more with his drawings, painted a caricature of me and my Cutlass, it still makes me laugh when I look at it.

Ozark was where the OCA Nationals had their drag race event. I too failed at getting lined up and I fouled 2x and was red lighted in both my races. The 2nd time I tried to line up led me to not launch at all and I went through the 7 seconds alotted without moving. Oh well.
