What does it take to outrun Don Garlits’s 10-second, 1000-horsepower Hellcat Redeye? How about a low-buck hotrod, a Pontiac Sunbird whose engine was considered junk just two weeks prior. Total budget for that build? Just two grand.
Welcome to the Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge, an event created 20 years ago with a simple goal: Show the world that racing doesn’t …
Can I say I'm not a fan of the removing half of the body work idea that I've seen lately.
Love the Egg. Looking good guys.
Ooh, an NX!

In reply to sleepyhead the buffalo :
During the drags it was mentioned it had a $300 purchase price.
New photos just added!

If you're talking about the red mustang, the removed body work was all accident damaged.
One day I really need to make it out for the Challenge... I think I will spend half my work day scouring for a cheap used car to build.
Only today did I wonder if a parachute is exempt safety equipment.

Only been one guy that makes that a real question. Lol.
The egg was posted in here for sale, pimpM3 stepped up (and I'm glad that he did) it's amazing how the paintwork looks now! I think next year on sticky rubber it has the potential to be a top 10 autocross car.
I love the NX!

I want that Trans Am badly. What's the story on it?

Same here!
I love this with all of my love. I can't wait for next year - I'll actually be out there!
Definitely one of the best Challenges ever! The fire is reignited. Looking forward to next year.

Circle track front end, deafeningly loud.
Lots of references to $2000 budget and $2000 Challenge
Is it no longer the $20XX challenge with the budget equal to the year? I always thought that was kind of fun. The challenge has always been my favorite event to follow online and in the magazine.
Seeing a non rusty sub 2k foxbody notch reminds me of how jealous I am of Southerners sometimes. Looks like people had a blast

That got too complicated to explain to sponsors, and it's tricky to market a brand when the name of the brand changes every year.
In reply to JG Pasterjak :
That actually makes a ton of sense. I had wondered about the change and that totally clears it up for me.

So you're saying that your sponsors aren't bright enough to figure out what year it is?
