I may need to get down there just to attend the town hall meeting. After 25 years, $2500 challenge works.

Twenty-five years ago, the GRM staff asked themselves and its readers a question:
How fast can you go for less than $1500?
That question started the annual Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge presented by Tire Rack. While the dollar amount has since increased, the basic concept has remained the same: an automotive festival that celebrates low-buck ingenuity across three different contests–autocross, drag racing and concours.
Competitors are welcome to build a car for less than $2000, enter an over-budget build, or both: They’ll all battle against each other at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida, April 6-7, to see if money really equals speed. Spectators are welcome to join the party, too.
So, gather up your friends, register your car, and get ready to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the $2000 Challenge. Visit 2000challenge.com for more information.
Don’t want the fun to stop after the $2000 Challenge?
Neither do we! That’s why we’re also hosting a track day at our official test track, the Florida International Rally & Motorsport Park, the day after the low-buck action on April 8.
All cars are welcome, but a separate registration is required.

Can't compete this year, will be there for the AM donuts and PM beer!
In reply to CrustyRedXpress :
You're still welcome on Zebra Butt Racing.
I don't know if I'll have the Morris ready in time, but I'm already registered for the track day.
