The Day of the Grassroots Motorsports 2007 Challenge
After three months and no less then 400 combined working hours we had finally gotten the car ready. Both of us will say that it wasn't easy; Our body's reflected the hundreds of work hours that were devoted to getting the car to competition level. Although the car was still lacking a few more hours or work we were ready to take on the world. The event was held in Gainsville approximately 4 hours to the north of fort Lauderdale. Upon arrival we were quickly humbled by the massive amounts of incedible cars that we saw when we turned into the parking lot of the event hotel. Excitement became doubt and concern for our car now named the "dirtE".
