Go racing for $2000. It seems impossible, right? Think again. When we first issued the call to action for the $1500 Challenge, we didn’t think anybody would attempt it. Why?

Wow, what an eclectic mix of cars. Kinda makes it seem like almost any type of car could win in the right hands. Which means...I'm gonna need to borrow someone else's hands if I want to win. laugh

Congrats to all the winners these past couple decades, as well as to their competitors and compatriots. You have all been a great source of inspiration and entertainment, not to mention proof that I'm not the only one who comes up with ideas that just might be a little bit crazy when it comes to the cars.

 

Thanks again, and to all the 2019 entrants, GOOD LUCK and have fun! =D

I remember my dad and I reading the first challenge back in 1999 and we loved it.  Now 20 years later I'm planning on moving back to Florida, and if everything goes well, we'll build a car for the 2020 challenge.  Very excite.
