It’s not easy to build a race car for less than $2000, but that’s precisely why we came up with our Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge Presented by Tire Rack, Powered by AutoBidMaster and Built by Carlyle Tools.

Couldn’t make it this year? Looking for a recap of the action? Here’s a look at some of the wild builds that arrived to compete.

This year’s event, again held at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida, was won by a turbocharged, Beetle-bodied Miata.

That’s a great video!

I’ll bet there are a few other cars worth talking about… 😉🤔
