Didn’t finish your build in time or not quite ready to race this year? You can still be a part of the Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge presented by Tire Rack–and it won’t cost you a dime.
Our friends at Hagerty will be hosting a Cars & Caffeine on Sunday morning, October 23, during the $2000 Challenge concours. Drive your cool car, enjoy some free coffee and donuts, and check out what the rest of the competitors have built.
Registration is free and includes spectator entry (Sunday only) for everybody in your car. Attendees must pre-register due to our limit of 500 cars.
Register for the Hagerty Cars & Caffeine here, and learn more about the $2000 Challenge at 2000challenge.com.
The $2000 Challenge is presented by Tire Rack, in association with CRC Industries, Summit Racing and Miller Electric, with trophies from Lamin-x, TrakkRats, CravenSpeed and ACI Automotive.
Reminder to self, get to the track early on Sunday.
Nvm, I'm dense
This is exciting. I hope it brings some more attention to the event.
I'll have my Challenge car at the Hagerty Garage+Social Chicago facility for the Meet in the Middle Micro car show Aug 14th. I hope I don't leave to much oil on their floor.
This is gonna be the best Challenge ever!
I wasn't sure so I entered both concourse and the cats and caffeine. Possible to do both?
I hope they'll be back for 2025
Also, from our friends over at Classic Motorsports, how to clean up your car before a cars and coffee–basically, a one-hour detail.
In reply to Stampie :
They happen concurrently, so I'll be pretty impressed if you attend both. 
In reply to Tom Suddard :
Hmm. That sounds like a challenge.
In reply to Stampie :
If you scatter your engine during the autocross, car will be in both locations at the same time
