Sneak Peek: $2000 Challenge Trophies!

The Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge presented by CRC Industries sets the stage for some of the most spectacular budget builds you’ve ever seen.

Really nice of Stampie to spring for these trophies. First place is really getting the shaft though. (Puns!)

Damn these are epic, can we trade some of our old trophies in?

I'm very happy that first place in the challenge knows how to store a crankshaft properly. 

I want to win first, but own the second place trophy. Its GORGEOUS. 

Good job stampie!

I'm very happy to not be up top this year, that E36 M3 looks heavy 

First place is a Cadillac 500 crank, camshaft, and flexplates. It's heavy as E36 M3. 

Second place is the pistons and rods from the same engine on some DOM tuning that was the perfect size.

Third place is aftermarket E36 springs that I bought from Tom last year. He gave me a hard time about low balling him and then ended up getting them back.

It was fun building them and clearing out some of my parts board. 

Thanks!
