The Street Rodder Magazine Road Tour visited Factory Five Racing this past Monday. The entire front parking lot was filled with hot rods, and Factory Five President Dave Smith gave the cruisers a factory tour.

Huge thanks to Jerry Dixey from Street Rodder Magazine for making Factory Five one of the stops on the tour.  Below is some photos from the Street Rodder Road Tour’s visit.
