Enter Your Cheap Sports Car For Racing Fame

Got a NASCAR dream with a pit stop budget? Racing junkies across the country are proving that you can get out on the track for less cash than you think–about two grand to be exact.

Every year, Grassroots Motorsports magazine invites readers to partake in a one-of-a-kind challenge: Buy and build your very own home-built racecar. The catch? Do it on a budget of dollars that matches the current calendar year.

In this contest, innovation and elbow grease win the day. Think recycled scrap, used racing tires, and home-brewed turbocharging setups. For the past decade, ingenious competitors have been putting their homespun motor skills to the test, wowing judges with their knack for turning spare parts–and spare change–into true supercars.
