As I write this, I have just returned from the Grassroots Motorsports $2016 Challenge presented by General Tire and powered by Miller and CRC. Also known as the Challenge to the cool kids, our three-ring circus of budget builds invades Gainesville each fall.
Every year, the buzz that follows the Challenge seems to get buzzier and buzzier. That’s partly thanks …
I learned #1 this year. Decided to take it easy and just run my future engine donor. Things came together and we won half budget.
Patience is paired with persistence and dumb luck. My mr2 build started when I stumbled upon a deal on a wrecked turbo sw20. It took me 2 years to find a cheap enough, good enough aw11 chassis to receive the swap. I was prepping my Z31 for a return to the challenge when I stumbled upon a distressed $300 miata a week before $2013 Challenge.
Helpful article. I've been as a spectator a few times. I hope to bring a knife to the gunfight this year.
