Cool, thanks for linking that. Good write up and some more stellar photos of the event.
Only Steven Cole Smith–you regularly see that name in GRM–could pull off the lede of ledes:
You can usually tell how well a motorsports event is doing by the title—the more sponsors, the healthier the event. This would suggest that the 26th running of the annual Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge, held last weekend, is doing pretty well, as the official name this year was the Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge Presented by Tire Rack and Powered by AutoBidMaster. One more sponsor, and it’ll need its own paragraph.
The rest of his story? Well, you can check it out over at Hagerty’s site.

Your reward for a super sleeper with such a clean engine swap that it looked stock!

He's a good enough writer that I'll read his stuff even when I don't care about the topic.
That opening was so well written I never saw the meta coming until it was too late.
In reply to CrustyRedXpress :
Steven is the best. Engaging ledes, strong narratives. He can color outside the lines because he knows how to bring it all back in.
We met nearly 30 years ago at a Saab press event, and so glad he took a liking to me.

Phenomenal writer. I put him up there with Sam Smith as one of my favorites!
