Grand Marshal: Bill Cuttitta

Bill is a veteran $2000 Challenge competitor who exemplifies the spirit of the event and has been participating ever since the very first $2000 Challenge more than 25 years ago.

He’s been there for all of the excitement, from the event’s early days to those 9-second runs to our next generation of builders. Most recently, you saw him as a concours judge and a panelist at the 2023 $2000 Challenge, and now he’s an official part of the staff.
