Factory Five Night at Patriot Place, Foxboro, MA, Thursday, 8/15

Posted on August 7, 2019 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Every other Thursday all summer long is one of the biggest car shows in New England. The Mass Cruisers Car Club hosts cruise nights at Gillette Stadium/Patriot Place in Foxboro, MA, and this Thursday is a special Factory Five night!

SMG Motors brought his FFR Pick-Up Truck last year on a shake down before SEMA.

Customers are invited to join us for a fun cruise-in this Thursday, August 15 from 4 PM til about 7 PM. We will have our full line of cars on display, and a number of employees will be driving their own cars. Factory Five crew will include Dave Smith, Jesper Ingerslev, Jim Schenck, Chris Ronni, and Jon Dean. This is the second year for this event, and we are hoping to make it a fun one.

I hope to see you there!

Dave Smith
President

We will be bringing our new ’35 Hot Rod Truck.

Dave Ryan’s Type 65 Coupe build is moving right along—and it’s become something even bigger along the way. In collaboration with Factory Five Racing, V6 Media is producing a short film documenting the build process. Recently, Dave’s father, Vaun Ryan, sat down to share his lifelong passion for performance cars and motorcycles—sparked as a young boy on the family farm in Utah, building a homemade go-kart powered by a hay-elevator motor.
