Read an Interview with Dick Smith from 1982

I just returned from two weeks of vacation and while I was away “sharpening the ax”, I had some time to think of all the great people who have had a positive effect on Factory Five.

Above: Factory Five Nationals 2002, Sonoma, CA – Infineon Raceway.  Heather Smith, Dick Smith, and Factory Five President Dave Smith.

One of those people is Dick Smith, who  was a personal hero of mine and a good friend of the company.

I found this old article in Super Fords magazine with a cool interview from the man who owned and drove the “Worlds Fastest Cobra”, the car that is the inspiration behind the FFR Mk4 Roadster.  It’s from 1982 and Super Fords Magazine is out of print so I figure its OK to just post it here.

 

Here’s a reprint of an interview with Dick Smith dating back over 25 years. It’s a great read, and gave us some fresh insights into our friend and hero, Dick Smith.

Two racing legends – Dick Smith and Bob Bondurant.

Godspeed Dick, we all miss you and thanks for all the help!
