Changes to 2022 Event Schedule

Posted on January 28, 2022 by in What's New

While the bulk of our 2022 show and event plan is unchanged, we have had to make the very difficult decision to cancel our annual Huntington Beach Cruise-in, scheduled for this April 30, 2022.

I met with the town of Huntington Beach last week to review the plan for this year’s cruise-in. The town has apportioned a large section of Main street for local restaurant outdoor dining (due to COVID precautions) and they have no intentions of changing this layout before our Cruise-in. The effect is that the show would be split in two, or we would have to use the lower parking lot on the beach side of PCH. Either way, the show would not be what we are accustomed to, and a huge part of the fun value of the show would be missing.

Since we have canceled the show now four times (!) due to COVID delays, I made the personal decision not to reschedule the event further.

On behalf of everyone at Factory Five Racing, I want to offer my sincere apologies for this cancellation and hope that the future skies clear, and we can have this great show at some point in the future.
