Join Us for the 2013 Factory Five Winter Open House, a.k.a "Moochfest"

UPDATE: Due to last weekend’s blizzard, the 2013 Factory Five Winter Open House, a.k.a “Moochfest”,  has been moved to this Saturday, February 16th.

It’s that time again when it’s cold, dark, and miserable here in New England and car guys everywhere flock to the Factory Five Moochfest!

The Moochfest began in 2003 and has grown to become the official “Winter Open House” here at Factory Five. This year, the event will take place on Saturday, February 16th from 9 am to noon. There will be food provided and some prizes awarded for those brave souls who drive their vehicles through the New England cold.

Factory Five Racing Director of R&D Jim Schenck will be giving a presentation updating folks on the progress of the exciting Project 818 and we will have vehicles here to check out.

The event is open to everyone, there is no registration needed, and all you have to do is show-up! This event is a great time to start planning for spring.

Dave Smith
President
