Factory Five to Headline 2011-2012 World of Wheels Shows

Posted on November 15, 2011 by Dave Lindsey in Upcoming Shows, What's New

10 Shows and Customers are Welcome

At the 2011 SEMA Show, I reached an agreement with the Autorama/World of Wheels organizers. These guys will be taking a Factory Five Hot Rod on their official show and event truck and as an official sponsor, Factory Five Racing is given two customer spaces per show to join the display Hot Rod.

So check the schedule below and if you have a Factory Five and you’d like to attend the show for free, we have two spaces per show available. Space will be provided on a first come, first served basis, so if you want to attend, with your car, one of these World of Wheels shows, contact Sally Bean here at Factory Five.

Each space includes two exhibitor passes to the show and five one-day guest passes!

Bill B. Shares an Update on His Mk5 Build

April 20, 2026
