Join Us This Holiday Weekend at New England Summer Nationals

2013summernats

The 23rd annual New England Summer Nationals has a brand new home at the Thompson International Speedway!

This huge motorsports complex is located just a few miles south from where this event has been held for the past 22 years. Thompson, Connecticut is a rural town and a quick 15 minute drive south on Rte 395 and it is located in the northeastern corner of Connecticut just over the Massachusetts and Rhode Island borders.

Keeping this show in close proximity to the original location is very important to show owner and promoter Bob Moscoffian! The move became an absolute necessity with the constantly increasing costs of the original location. This show is all about it’s fans and the people who participate in it and the only way too prevent increasing admission and participation prices it had to be moved to another location!

The Factory Five crew of Tony Zullo and Dan Golub will be at the event with the big Factory Five show & event truck and cars.  The event runs all day from July 4th thru July 7th.  Click here for more information.

I made the call to scrub FFR operations for the day. The drive in wasn’t bad, and most roads are clear. Unfortunately our plow crew was late, and the day dawned with 3-4′ drifts in the back parking lot! We will be at work and at full strength tomorrow. Sorry for any difficulties this may cause.

Three Generations Embark on a Type 65 Coupe Dream Build

Dave Ryan’s Type 65 Coupe build is moving right along—and it’s become something even bigger along the way. In collaboration with Factory Five Racing, V6 Media is producing a short film documenting the build process. Recently, Dave’s father, Vaun Ryan, sat down to share his lifelong passion for performance cars and motorcycles—sparked as a young boy on the family farm in Utah, building a homemade go-kart powered by a hay-elevator motor. That curiosity for how things work turned into a lifetime of mechanical enthusiasm, passed down through generations and now culminating in Dave’s Type 65 Coupe build, which is a…
