Factory Five Sponsors 2011 Road Tour

Check out this month’s Street Rodder Magazine for coverage of the 2010 Road Tour. The Factory Five leg of the tour began here in Wareham and ended in Syracuse, NY at the Right Coast Nationals.

This year, we are again doing the Road Tour and the scheduled date is Tuesday, July 12. This year’s kick-off party at Factory Five will be bigger with some fun surprises. Tentatively planned, we will unveil the Right Coast Nationals Give-A-Way Car (which is a Factory Five ’33) as a sneak peek for tour participants. Our plan for 2011 includes a ton of Hot Rod events and the Street Rodder Road Tour is one of them.
