$2000 Challenge: A roofless, punk rock Honda CRX

• Entrant: Team Gutty
• Event year: 2009
• Budget spent: $908.10

Before Adam Jabaay helped launch Gridlife, he was part of Team Gutty, a group of $2000 Challenge regulars. In addition to taking top honors at our 2009 event with their turbocharged, Integra-powered Honda CRX, they also ran a second entry that year. 

This CRX, though, was a bit more punk rock. The roof? Gone. The doors? Welded shut. Then they topped it with chalkboard paint, allowing the livery to evolve throughout the weekend.

Make your own low-buck memories at the Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge Presented by Tire Rack, held March 29-30, 2025.

The Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge is Presented by Tire Rack, in Association with HPX Show, A&A Manufacturing, BendPak, CRC Industries and Miller Electric.
