Factory Five customer Gary Green

Factory Five customer Gary Green from Detroit, MI recently took his Challenge Car to the Michigan International Speedway for a Concourse deElegance track day. He sent use a link to a YouTube video saying:

“After some SPF GT 40 intro stuff you will see my #10 Green Dog Racing Challenge car. Wait a minute our two and you will also see a “smoking” pass of the GT40. One replica passes another.”

“Love the fact that I can go from track to street use.” – Gary Green

Over the years, Gary has taken his car to car shows as well as track events. Gary’s car was displayed at the Michigan Automotive Hall of Fame and he also earned 4th in Class at the Detroit Autorama (that’s a big accomplishment for a race car in a field of show cars).

Huge congrats to Gary on a job well done!
