About Me

Grassroots Motorsports magazine is your source for the best in hands-on motorsports excitement. Each issue of GRM is packed with hardcore project cars, technical info, news, driving tips, car and scene profiles and events coverage. From autocross and track days to rally and road racing, we get our hands dirty and burn our own rubber to bring you close to the action. And unlike some other heavily chromed publications, we keep our eyes on the budget and encourage low-buck engineering over how-many-zeros-will-fit-on-a-check parts craziness; just ask our $2006 Challenge competitors! Best of all, a FREE TRIAL ISSUE is just a few clicks away!

My Interests

Road racing, autocrossing, time trials, rally, track days, cheap horsepower, sticky tires, unusual cars, like-minded automotive enthusiasts and burritos.

I'd like to meet:

People who think a car looks best when lateral g forces are loading the suspension. People who understand that if it's on a car, it's a wear item. People who remove sound deadening in order to keep the weight down. People who know what brake pads really smell like. People who prefer 15-inch wheels over 18s because there are more R-compound tire choices. People who think that if a car doesn't have three pedals, itâ€™s in need of a transmission swap (or they wanted to keep the turbo spooled between shifts). People who would be lost without duct tape, zip ties and copious amounts of brake and carb cleaner. Elvis. People who know that coil-overs are useless unless you cornerweight the car after installation. People who shop for springs by the rate in lbs./in., not by color. Anyone who knows the joy of finishing faster than a car that cost three times as much.

Lame Comments

Sorry about all the lame ass spammy comments. We couldn't figure out how to delete them for a couple of days. Hopefully we'll be able to combat the free iPhone, Gucci bag and ring tone crap.
