As the sun blazes down on Beech Bend Raceway with perfect skies, the 2024 MoParty is in full swing, and the 3S Challenge takes center stage. This year marks a thrilling chapter in the annual event, which blends speed, precision, and skill into an electrifying test of automotive prowess. The 3S Challenge, a staple of MoParty, combines the high-speed excitement of autocross with the precise demands of a speed-stop competition. It's a rigorous gauntlet that challenges drivers to push their vehicles to the limit in a format designed to test every aspect of their machine's capabilities. It's a vital piece for Grand Champion and it’s included for driver's racing in autocross.

The format is straightforward but demands a finely tuned balance of power, handling, and braking. Drivers start from a complete standstill on parallel courses, navigate through a series of 180-degree turns, and finish with a high-stakes drag race. Competitors must come to a complete stop within a designated zone marked by cones. Participants in the 3S Challenge are vying for prestigious awards, including the top three spots, which come with a $250 payout and an OPTIMA Battery. The competition is fierce, with drivers pushing their machines and their skills to the limit to capture the coveted titles.
