Horsepower TV Mk4 Give-Away Winner Announced!

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

This past weekend on The Powerblock, the boys from Horsepower TV announced the winner of the Factory Five-Powerblock Sweepstakes Mk4 Roadster Give-Away. Close 200,000 people entered the contest which awarded a Factory Five Mk4 complete kit along with a full set of tools from Matco and a huge parts credit from the good people at Summit Racing.

The lucky winner was Joshua Hammett from Virginia who was on-set with Powerblock host Courtney Hansen. Josh receives a free Factory Five complete Mk4 and a whole bunch of parts and sponsor items from the show.

This contest generated a tremendous amount of interest here at Factory Five and I can’t tell you how many e-mails and calls we received from guys wanting to know if they had won. I got together with the crew and we decided to do something for the guys who didn’t win. We don’t normally have sales at this time of year (since it’s the building season and orders are brisk), but the guys came up with some interesting ideas so that even if you didn’t win, you can still score a great deal.

Congratulations Josh! Welcome to the club and we hope you build a great car!

Congratulations to Jim. and Cecily T. from Heathsville, VA on graduating their Factory Five Mk4 Roadster build! They received their kit in April 2024. “I was in no rush since I planned on enjoying the build just as much as cruising in it.,” said Jim. “Goes back to my old drag racing days in the 70’s. Tinkering on that car was as much fun as racing it.” Jim’s plan for his Roadster build also included building up a 427 stroker engine as well as doing the paint as he saw it as an additional part of the build that he would enjoy… Read More »
