There are a number of reasons why we enjoy heading west to the Knotts Berry Farm replica show every spring. Obviously, the southern California weather is always nicer than springtime in New England (and any chance to get some sunshine on our pasty white legs is a good thing). Most important to us, however, is the chance to meet up with our customers on the West Coast again, and to see the progress and changes they’ve made on some of the best Factory Fives worldwide. |

As expected, we were not disappointed by the FFROG turnout at this year’s show.
Even with perennial award winner Russ Thompson’s FFR sitting it out this year, the field was jam packed with show winners. Three stunning customer GTMs made it out to join our LS7 powered rocket, and seventy-five Roadsters also joined the Factory Five dominated show field. |

We applaud the best cars in the Factory Five paddock (as chosen by a dedicated team of FFR owners) – they were probablysome of the best in the entire show field.

As the Knotts show was wrapping up, nearly all
of the FFROGs in attendance headed down to the beach for the
second annual Huntington
Beach Cruise-In. Huntington Beach is the kind of laid back beach community where you can let your hair down and relax a bit more. The ocean breeze makes it an enjoyable place to hang out for the evening, with plenty of dining options nearby. |

The highlight of the evening was the Moment of Thunder tribute to racing legend Dick Smith, but along with the tribute we hosted a giveaway raffle with killer products donated by the sponsors of the event. Everyone drove away with something in tow – one customer was even lucky enough to win a brand-new TGB Scooter! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Customers also judged the cars at the
Cruise-In, so a select number of customers won awards at that show
as well. These included:

Clearly, the Huntington Beach event is a much more popular event, and based on the customer feedback, we will make this a more primary event for 2008.
All of the customers who drove to Huntington Beach received a free T-Shirt and Dash Plaque, and all of the extra T-Shirts were sold to customers for a donation to Cystic Fibrosis. Although e cannot thank everyone who donated for this purpose, we do thank everyone as a group. Stay tuned for more details for the 3rd Annual Huntington Beach Cruise-In. |
