The 2024 TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout series as part of the NMRA True Street class gave us quite the thrill ride. The ending wasn’t what we wanted (a painful rainout of the 2024 NMRA World Finals) but throughout the season we saw exciting stick shift manual transmission drag racing. Without a chance to settle things on the race track at the final event, the results from the first two shootouts were used to determine the winner of the first-ever TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout Championship – Kyle Miller took home the title, trophy and TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout Championship ring!

Jeff Smith Wins First TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout of 2024
The first TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout of 2024 was action packed and featured one of the tightest fields ever at the 2024 NMRA Spring Break Shootout at Gainesville Raceway.

Sick the Mag Sick Week is a week-long event that visits 4 race tracks over five days. Part of the event’s challenge that makes it so interesting is that participants must drive their vehicles from track to track, hitting official checkpoints along the route to verify they are actually being driven to the next track. While no support vehicles are allowed, racers can tow a trailer with their race car or have some sort of cargo mount on the vehicle to help carry supplies.
