2007 Carlisle Replica Show

Factory Five Dominates the Component Car Scene at Carlisle

 

The Factory Five rig, piloted by Dave Petit, left last Wednesday bound for Carlisle, PA packed with the finest that Factory Five had to offer.  The 22nd annual Carlisle Replica Show brought beautiful weather and thousands of loyal component car fans looking to see the latest goodies in the Factory Five booth.
 


The calm before the storm...
 
Cars at the show included Jesper Ingerslev’s MkIII Roadster, Dave Smith’s blue and white Coupe with a brand new 347 stroker motor, the Silver and Orange Champ Car Coupe back from its pace car duties with the Champ Car series, the famed Red LS7 GTM, and the decked out Black LS6 GTM with its prototype aero kit.  Also present was the heart and soul of every MkIII Roadster – the MkIII rolling chassis.
 

If you’re thinking about building a car,

the Carlisle show is your one-stop-shopping location with all major manufacturers under one roof.  The show is a great place to meet other Factory Five owners and hear about their experiences.

 

In addition to this, many builders and aftermarket suppliers are present, giving you a chance to see everything up close, consider different options, and plan your build.
 

A top notch crew, just as good as the cars, was there to give information and answer questions about the kits.  Jason Lavigne, Nate Johnson, Andy Cole and Mike Pisani (left to right) started the show, and were joined on Saturday by  Sohka Nhek and Amy Carr (left to right) to assist show goers in full force.

 
To finish off the weekend, Brian Smith of Kit Car Magazine called on the Champ Car Coupe and the Black LS6 GTM for a photo shoot.  The weather cooperated, and the cars were stunning!  Keep an eye out for them to show up in Kit Car!
 

 
Thanks to everyone who came down to the show for making it a huge success!  Don’t forget to join us in Ohio at the London Cobra Show from June 22nd - June 24th.
