Go as fast as possible while spending as little money as possible.

That’s one of the best summaries of our annual Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge presented by Tire Rack, which challenges competitors to build a race car for no more than $2000 and then compete with it in autocross, drag racing and a concours-style judged show at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida, April 18-19.

And now, here’s a chance to save even more: Use promo code FEBRUARY to save $50 on your entry. The deal ends on Saturday, February 28, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.

Have a car built or bought for more than $2000? It’s welcome to compete, too, in the autocross and drag racing sessions. (After all, how else are we to find out if more money truly does equal more speed?)

Sign up now to secure your entry for the 2026 event and keep an eye on the $2000 Challenge website for future updates.

The Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge is presented by Tire Rack, in Association with CRC Industries, Knight's Automotive and BendPak.
