For many people, September marks the beginning of fall and all its festive fall things: the changing colors of leaves, cozy sweaters and pumpkin flavoring where it doesn’t belong. For GRM, though, September means we’re about a month away from another running of the original low-buck motorsports event.

Our annual $2000 Challenge Presented by CRC Industries and Titan Fuel Tanks, the place where penny-pinching and extreme speed meet, invites anyone who thinks they can build the fastest car around for less than two grand.

This year’s event will take place October 22-23, again at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida. Just as in previous years, the Challenge will be composed of three distinct events: an autocross session, a drag race and a concours.

September holds another important date for many Challenge participants: September 17 is the last day you can register and ask for a specific number for your ride. We can’t make any guarantees that the number you pick will be available, but we try our best to honor your requests. Plus, by registering by September 17, you get the option to have your numbers mailed to you in advance.

Registration will still be open after September 17, but anyone registering after that day will get whichever number we give you when you arrive.

For more information about the $2000 Challenge–like rules, the schedule, prizes and how to register–visit 2000challenge.com.

 

The $2000 Challenge is presented by CRC Industries and Titan Fuel Tanks, in association with eBay Motors and Miller Electric, with trophies provided by ThermApparel, GJR Racing and Valino Tires.

Hmmm.  Been holding out to see what good ol' Delta has in store.  But I would like to have Number Five if still available.  Decisions.

Yeah, this post is motivating me to get stuff done and also making me anxious at the same time.

Registered, is it bad I registered for last minute and parking lot build? That gives me plenty of time to procrastinate. 
 

My wife always said why go if you can’t win? This gives me a chance at winning something, because I’m not skilled enough to win the overall.

 

10 days feels a little steep for short notice could we get 20 for last chance?

I've seen a few entries come through today, and figured this thread was worth bumping up. One week until you can't have your decals mailed anymore!

In reply to Tom Suddard :

Expect some Back and forth when we get closer on my inability to put stickers where they belong....

And I'm not talking about my inability to place straight smooth decals like on my Mellow Yellow Cole Trickle Monte from back in the day.

You'll need to log in to post.
