[Dave Smith]

Annual Factory Five Gathering Scheduled for Saturday, June 11

http://www.factoryfive.com/whatsnew/showevent/openhouse/2009/DSC_0087.jpg

Join us for our 14th Factory Five Racing Summer Open House to be held on Saturday, June 11th from 9 am to 1 pm at our headquarters in Wareham, MA. The format will be the same as previous years with car show awards, food and refreshments, and our famous Scratch & Dent Parts Sale...BUT...this year we have some new surprises!

roject 818 Design Winners to be Announced

At this year's Open House, we will announce the winners of the Grassroots Motorsports-Factory Five Design Competition. We will have the winning submissions on display along with the 818 prototype chassis.

Huge/Expanded Parts Sale

One of the most popular Open House features is our annual Scratch and Dent Discount Parts Sale. This year, we have a HUGE number of discounted parts, both new and used. The team here decided that we needed to kick it up a notch, so if you're looking for a deal on a variety of Factory Five parts and options, you will find a mind-blowing assortment of parts at great Open House prices. Parts corral opens at 9 A.M. sharp.

Vendor Alley

We've had vendors attend the Open House in year's past, but this year, we have a larger contingent of Factory Five vendors and aftermarket support. Mark and his crew from Breeze Automotive will be here, the guys from Tasca Ford will be on hand with their Hot Rod and "drop-in" engine packages, and other vendors like Grassroots Motorsports, Ford Racing, Whitby Automotive, and Mendeola Transmissions will be here. Lastly, Factory Five's Sally will be offering some cool new shirt designs at great prices.

Factory Five Car Show and Awards

This year we expect an ever growing number of Factory Five cars...perhaps as many as 150-200 cars if the weather is good. We've invested in some very nice car show awards made by Ed at Victory Valley Trophy (west coast customers at the HB Cruise-In saw these nice trophies). Categories for the car show include the following:

Best in Show Coupe
Best in Show Roadster
Best in Show Challenge
Best in Show GTM

It is beginning to look like I will take a break from the studies and hit the road... I feel a Road Trip coming on... so will be heading up to the 14th open house, rain or shine. Time to point the old car back to where it all started and see what's new.
The studies will wait till I get back.

[Mark Dougherty]

Wow Ralph
i will have to try and be there now.
