Join Us in Indianapolis, PRI 2017

Posted on December 1, 2017 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Join us next week, December 7-9, at the Performance Racing Industry show (PRI)! We will not be exhibiting at the show, but we will be guests of Ford Performance with our new Gen 3 Type 65 Coupe. Jesper, Jim, and Dave will be at the show on Friday, and the car will be in the Ford Performance booth. The car featured Ford’s mighty 5.2L Aluminator 52XS engine that makes 580 HP!

The Coupe will close out a very big year on a high note as it is featured in Ford’s booth at PRI.

The Ford booth at PRI is centrally located, and always have a TON of traffic.

In 2014, the Factory Five ’33 Hot Rod was featured in Ford’s booth at PRI.

NASCAR’s Joey Logano drove the Coupe in Snap On Tools’ “From the Ground Up” series and also drove the car on the season finale of “Fast N’ Loud.”

This year, the new Gen 3 Coupe scored a top 10 finish in the Tire Rack “Ultimate Track Car Challenge” and also won 5 of 7 races in NASA’s ST2 class in 2017.
