Lovers of cheap speed, rejoice: Registration for the 2025 Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge presented by Tire Rack is now open.

The name of the game is still to build the fastest car possible for less than $2000, ensuring your creation can outperform everyone else in autocross, drag racing and concours judging.

As with previous years, cars built–or bought–for more than $2000 are eligible to compete in their own dedicated classes, and spectators are welcome to join in on the fun, too.

Whether you build a car for less than $2000, enter your over-budget build–or both–the thrills all take place March 29-30 at Gainesville Raceway in Florida.

The Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge is presented by Tire Rack, in association with CRC Industries, High Performance Expo, Miller Electric and BendPak.
