The late nights, the bruised knuckles, the piles of horded parts, the questionable design choices–they all come down to this: the arrival of our Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge Presented by Tire Rack, Powered by AutoBidMaster and Built by Carlyle Tools.
Every year, we put out the call to anyone who thinks they can build the fastest car while spending as little as possible, and every year, several heed the call and arrive en masse, with their wild racers, all built for no more than $2000, in tow.
In order to win, competitors will have to be the fastest in autocross and drag racing, plus wow our judges the most during a concours-style judged show.
The more the merrier, right? That’s why we’ve opened up the event to cars built–or bought–for more than $2000 to compete in the autocross or drag racing sessions, or both.
The action kicks off in fewer than 24 hours, April 18-19, at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida.
And, speaking of hours, you have just a few left to enter: Registration remains open until 9:00 pm Eastern tonight, April 17–so consider this your last chance to register.
Spectators are welcome, too, with tickets just $10 in advance, or $15 at the gate.
The Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge is presented by Tire Rack, powered by Autobidmaster and built by Carlyle Tools, in Association with CRC Industries, Knight's Automotive and BendPak.
