The goal is to have a car that if you pulled the safety stuff, wheels and tires, and allowable brake upgrades you couldn't get more than $500 for. Obviously this gets ignored if someone comes up with something creative or amusing, like the upside down Camaro, but the idea is still just to have fun. After getting covered by a few magaizines it went from a group of friends to a national thing with a bunch of events and even spawned a copycat/spin off series called Chump Car that is actually a national series with a points championship and everything based on the same concept of fun above cost.
