FFR Customer Gary Hagar Wins Again!

Posted on January 15, 2011 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

International Show Car Association Achievement Award

I received an e-mail from customer Gary Hagar today. If you remember Gary’s ’33 Hot Rod won numerous awards this past summer, and his car was showcased on Spike’s HorsePower TV.
Gary just recently won third in class at a very completive ISCA show in Little Rock, Arkansas. Here’s his e-mail:

“The show was a great. I talked to lots of FFR customers that were very interested in the Hot Rods. I am sending you a couple of pics from the show. Notice in the one pic the Hot Rod is set up close to the current Riddler Award winner and a 33 willys that was also in contention. Each of those cars cost over 1 million dollars to build. That is stiff competion. We finished 3rd in our class plus an ISCA achievement pic. We have another indoor show in Joplin and Springfield coming up. I will keep you posted.”

Huge congratulation to Gary!
