Took a bunch of pictures this year (its easy to do when your challenge car is sitting in the garage 800 miles away). Got shots from Thursday afternoon through Saturday. The autocross pics were mostly taken from the top of the stands, so it may be a bit of a different perspective than a lot of other shots.
If anyone wants high-res pics of their cars, let me know, everything in the album is downsized to 1024x768.
GRM $2010 Challenge Album
A few I liked:
The Condor BMW kicking a cone in the air:
A really cool Maverick:
The Wartburg hustling around the cones:
Rotary-powered Isetta:
Wheels warming up the tires on the MGB:
Z-Car lining up against the only 3rd gen F-Body at the event:
...and Gorilla Suit Racing's pedo-van:
Also took some video - I'll link to it when its uploaded.
Had a great time, and can't wait to come back next year with a working car.
oops 575 pictures, its the videos I took that brought the number over 600
lots of cool pics and thanks.
Makes me think of the start in the Cannonball Run movie.
awesome, thank you so much
WOOT! Thanks so much for taking all these! I didn't have anyone with me this trip, so I really appreciate it that you captured even us bottomfeeders. ;)
Glad you're enjoying the pictures!
Here's 26 videos from the autocross and drags. Sorry about the shaky camera work. I think I need to build a grassroots steadicam rig for next year.

any videos of the Condor Speed Shop E30 when it is running properly? Not being ungrateful, just would really like some video from outside the car.
THank you.
In reply to DirtE30:
I'm afraid the only one I got is when it looked like you had some problems halfway through the run. Hopefully someone else will have a good video and link it here.

I have a vid of you guys taken from the top of the stands on your autox run when you took out half of the shutdown area. It's a great shot.
I'll get it posted in the next few days.

(not that I ever thought it was ... this just makes me smile!)
Best Line from the PA announcer ... (JG I think)...
"We have a Maverick and a Wartburg on the track right now ... Two automotive success stories and probably the first time they every competed on the same track in the history of motorsports"
JG was MUCH funnier than SNL on Saturday night.
Even Wheels/Andy is funnier than SNL, but JG was FUNNY, good stuff!!!

Like THIS?
Can't get much more grassroots than plumbing fittings, barbell weights, and the like.
In reply to slantvaliant:
Yup, looks very similar to one I saw on makeTV a ways back.

Here you go! It's even more impressive when you're not watching it on a tiny camera screen! :-)

Nice photos.
So many cool, original cars this year. Which ones can we expect to see featured in the magazine?
Thanks for the photos. Great job!
And now, more pics from a guy who shot more pictures than I did - my Dad!
Friday pictures
Saturday Pictures
Again, if anyone wants hi-res shots, let me know and either I'll send them, or ask my dad to do so.
