It had been 26 years since the last time Val Morris, Steve Morris' wife, was behind the wheel of a drag car. The shop had been working on this project car named Sugar Momma, and got it done in time for Sick Week 2024. When it came time to figure out who'd drive it, Steve and his son Kyle suggested Val get the honors.

Damon Elff’s Toyota Supra, which features a turbocharged 2JZ engine, will send you backwards as it revs up. This 2JZ is wicked, and we caught up with Damon at Sick Week this year to get the full scoop on the build.
Justin Gerebizza acquired a fully built ‘06 F-350 looking to achieve the 1,000-hp mark with a compound-turbo 6.0L Powerstroke engine. This Diesel of the Week is even more impressive when you realize it was built in 2015.
