Sad news from southern California for all in the Factory Five community as we get word that FFR customer and long-time community member Roger Stine passed away last night at 10:30 PM PST.

Roger's legacy in the Factory Five community is long and storied.  He built one of the earliest FFR Mk1s and built friendships over the years with his friendly smile, willingness to help another FFR builder, and expertise in wiring.  Roger was a avid track day participant with his street car at the nearby Willow Springs International Raceway. 

Roger and others in the early FFR days helped build the company and community into what it is today.  Roger was a good friend of mine and will be dearly missed.  Special thanks to all the FFR guys who gathered last month at his house and especially to Steve Morriarty (Kermit) who was closest to Roger and helped his family tremendously.  From all of us at Factory Five Racing, I send out our deepest sympathies and condolences to Karen and all of Roger's family.
