Join Factory Five at the PRI Show in Indianapolis

Posted on December 9, 2013 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

We will be joining the crew from Grassroots Motorsports Magazine at the 2013 PRI Show in Indianapolis, IN on December 12-14.

Factory Five Engineer Colby Whipple will be bringing the 818R to the show, the same car that is currently on the cover of Grassroots Motorsports Magazine.

The guys at GRM have been great development partners as they are building their own 818S in the pages of Grassroots Motorsports Magazine. If you’re at the show, ask Colby for a complimentary calendar!

We will be in the Grassroots Motorsports Magazine booth, #3133 in the Yellow Building close to the GoPro and NASCAR booths. The show does not appear to be open to the general public.

Also at the show will be a Factory Five ’33 rolling chassis being built by Ford Racing and shown in the Ford Racing display. The build is part of Ford Racing’s development of aftermarket EcoBoost V6 engine controls, and Ford Racing’s display can be found in the Green building at booth #s 1925 & 2025, which are neighboring booths.

A Factory Five ’33 Hot Rod was previously shown with Ford Racing at PRI. This year, an EcoBoost-V6-powered ’33 rolling chassis will be on display.
