When we put out the call for our first $2000 Challenge–back then, the budget limit was just $1500–we didn’t know what to expect. Would our readers get it? And would they get it enough to build a low-buck car and actually show up in Florida?
We wound up welcoming a full field to Florida, including four gentlemen from up around Washington, D.C. From the front, we welcomed Barry Miles; our upcoming grand marshal, Bill Cuttitta; Cliff Sebring Jr. and Cliff Sebring Sr.
Their mount? A factory-turbocharged 1989 Plymouth Voyager dubbed Mini Me that ran a 14.3-second E.T. A legend–and a friendship–was born.
Make your own low-buck memories at the Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge Presented by Tire Rack, held March 29-30, 2025.
