What is the $2009 challenge?

So, what is the GRM $2009 challenge you ask? Why did we buy this cheap car for a "racing" event? Well, here is a quick summary: Grassroots Motorsports magazine puts on this "low bucks" challenge for those of us who want to race, but on a limited budget. Teams entering the challenge can spend no more dollars than the year that the event is held in. So, for 2009 we get $2009 to spend on the car and any modifications to the car. Parts taken off the car can be sold to recover some extra money. The vehicles entered into the challenge compete in 3 events: Drag racing, Autocross and a Concours judging.
