FFR Customer Ray McEdwards Sends in the Report

Factory Five customer Ray McEdwards sent us an e-mail letting us know that two Factory Fives won at the Fourth Annual Madera Glass & Body Gold Cup Car Show. Here’s is what Ray wrote us:

“I attended the Fourth Annual Madera Glass & Body Gold Cup Car Show. FFR was well represented (3-Roadsters) the banner you gave me at HB-2010 and one I had printed. The red car is, I think, a Backdraft with a SBC. Jim Bandy (the silver/black Roadster) took 1st in class. It was his first, 1st place finish and couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Jim has always been there for me, helping out and has traveled with me to help out other builders. I took a 3rd in class (2nd went to an ’87 Porsche.) The blue car with white stripes is Larry’s (he dropped a 429-SCJ motor in that.)”

Congratulations on your success at the car show guys!
