The event plans are expanded from last year, with a Friday Poker Run for FFR street car customers. The Saturday car show, awards dinner, and raffle drawings are also being expanded, with more awards and a dinner Saturday evening at Sir Richards Restaurant (no-one will miss the franks and beans at the track).

Concourse Car Show Join us for this Factory Five Nationals tradition. Last year’s 2004 event here in Virginia attracted over 100 of the nicest FFR show cars on the East Coast and a few West Coast and Deep South travelers. The world-class VIR facility will serve as the host for our concourse car show (FFR customers will be joined by other makes owners this year!) and a vendor area. This year we have the entire paddock area closest to the front straight-away as our car parking area. The staging and pit area for the Challenge cars will be right next to the street cars. |
