Customer Garry B. and Local Factory Five Club Event

Posted on April 9, 2012 by in What's New

Factory Five customer Garry Bopp is part of a local Atlanta-area Factory Five Owner’s Group and sent us these photos from their first outing of the year.  The forecast was for rain, which kept attendance down a bit, but the rain held off and the group enjoyed a fun evening at the Tilted Kilt Sports Bar.

Garry’s car is the blue #98 and the red Coupe belongs to customer Ryan W. who was recently profiled and is in the 2012 Factory Five Forum Calendar.  About ten other Factory Fives attended the event.

Ryan’s car has excellent attention to detail and he drives the car on the street as well as open track events.  The red #40 is powered by a 408 ci aluminum block Windsor with four Weber carbs and the car has been dynoed at 500 HP.

Thanks Garry for the great photos! That’s not a picture you see very often in front of a restaurant!
