In 1997, we had been in business for two years and we decided to have our very first Open House in the parking lot of our old Kendrick Road facility. Maybe 25 cars showed up. It was a great chance to simply hang with the people who pay our rent and check out cars on a summer afternoon. Over the years, thousands of people have attended out annual Open House event, and this year, the 20th Anniversary Open House event had a wonderful turnout on a beautiful summer’s day.

The Open House event follows a familiar schedule. The event opens up with registration and over 100 Factory Fives thundering in between 8 am and 9 am. We’ve got live music, all the hot dogs you could eat, plant tours, demo cars in the showroom, a killer scratch and dent parts sale, and car show awards for Factory Five cars. This year was no different, but the nice weather after such a long stretch of bad weather made the event especially enjoyable.

About 100 cars showed up between 8 am and 9 am. This year, there was a triathlon on the local road leading to Factory Five which caused some back-ups.

Our shipping partners at FedEx brought by a Denny Hamlin demo car for people to check out. This was a honest-to-God with a chassis that is one year old and last won at Martinsville.

Jay and Dan manned the parts sale area. This is a great time to pick-up a good deal on scratch and dent parts.

In the showroom, we were displaying three Gen 3 Coupes (two street cars and a race car) along with the 20th Anniversary Mk4 Roadster. The doors to the plant and showroom were wide open all day since the weather was absolutely perfect.
