SEMA Preview 8 of 10: Factory Five New Building!

Posted on November 2, 2019 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

This isn’t exactly a SEMA preview, BUT while we have been working for the past few months on all of the SEMA cars, we have ALSO been busy with a huge project next door. We are building an all-new 12,000 square foot building and installing a new 225 kW solar array!

Construction has already begun, and the foundation footings have been laid. We should be moving in Q1 2020, and can’t wait to have the extra manufacturing and warehousing space as well as expanded asphalt for our shifter karts. Check the quick flyover video below. Open House 2020 is going to be a HUGE party!
