The afternoon will begin with a private tour of the Riverside International Automotive Museum, where famed vintage Cobra* driver and Factory Five Racing's great friend, Dick Smith's legendary car #198 is on display, alongside six Gurney Eagle racecars, and perhaps the greatest collection of Maseratis (street and racecars) in the western hemisphere. The museum is normally closed on Mondays, and we are thankful for their generosity in opening their doors for this special event. Entry: $5 optional donation to the museum, to keep this jewel of automotive history thriving.

Afterwards, we will take a brief trip down the 91 Freeway to the Pole Position Raceway, where we can face off for some indoor karting fun. Choose to race, or just come along to spectate (no entry fee). Two race Pole Position Challenge cost: $45.  FFROG's will have a standing start, with a special race lineup based on a secret criteria as determined by Dave. Bribery, cajoling, and groveling is encouraged.

To finish the evening, we'll jump over to the Lone Star Steakhouse in Corona for some good food and libations, and where we can enjoy each other's company and share all things FFR!!! 

If you are interested in joining us, please RSVP to Dave or Karen.
