Meet the Stay at Home SEMA Crew!

Posted on November 3, 2014 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

With the bulk of our team in Las Vegas this week for the 2014 SEMA Show, we have a small, but heroic band of admin staff here to help you with orders, tech support, or shipping questions. It will be a busy week, but Dave, Jay, Eddie, Nate, and Sally are here to cover the Factory Five home base. The crew here will probably be even busier than the crew in Las Vegas! So if phones are a bit hectic, please accept our apologies and we appreciate your understanding.

We’ll be bringing you daily updates from the SEMA Show all week.

The new 289 USRRC Replica is in Las Vegas at the 2014 SEMA Show with the bulk of the Factory Five tech crew.

Friday night, the Factory Fives were lined up in the main hall.

Tony and Freddy had the booth set-up Saturday by mid-day.

This year, we decided to go with a bit larger sign to help folks find us.

Above & Below: In the Featured Vehicles area, the 427-powered Mk4 Roadster that was built on “Detroit Muscle” is placed alongside Erik Hansen’s brand-new 818S that is full battery-electric powered!

Tony sent me this cool VW Bus pick from the parking lot staging area just for fun.
