Project information

Project Description: The Grassroots Motorsports Challenge is an automotive competition where competitors have a max limit of $2000 to build a vehicle to complete in 3 separate events: An autocross, a drag race, and a concours. With a tight budget, the $2000 Challenge favors those with more ingenuity and skill than money. As many as 100 different teams return each year to battle it out and see who can squeeze the most performance from a penny. This year, Wreck Racing started with a BMW E28 and had a goal of a 2400 pounds vehicle that will produce 500 horsepower. We stripped it down to the frame for weight reduction and swapped out the engine, transmission, rear axles, and tires. Overall, we won 2nd place.
