Given that everyone in the country seems to have experienced some level of freezing in the past week or so, I’m kind of entertained by the shock that some Sick Week competitors expressed when they encountered freezing temps for Day 0 of Sick Week 2026. With that said, it is a first for this event, although there have been plenty of bad weather days in the history of this event. We spent many days in cold and rain on Sick Week #1 and the tradition continues!
Check out this video from Sick Week 2026 as Day 0 testing is highlighted below.
Video Description:
Sick Week 2026 kicked off with Day 0 under conditions we’ve never seen before — below-freezing temperatures in Florida. Day 0 is the check-in and test day, where teams get through tech, make early passes, and start dialing in their cars before the drag-and-drive portion officially begins. Sick Week brings some of the fastest street cars in the country together for a full week of racing across multiple tracks, and this year it started with cold air, cold pavement, and a whole new challenge right from the start.
