T-Minus 1 Day: FFR Open House 2017!

The crew is hard at work getting last minute prep done for our 20th Annual Factory Five Racing Open House tomorrow! Customers have been stopping by throughout the day. The weather forecast is absolutely perfect, and we’re hoping for a big turnout on what is our 20th Open House event.

Above & Below: Jesper and Jim make last minute adjustments and finish off our new Gen 3 Coupe demo car which will be on display tomorrow in the showroom along with a Coupe-R and our SEMA Show prototype.


The warehouse is clean and the signs are ready.


The showroom this morning was full of our demo cars, but has since been emptied for our Gen 3 Coupe display for tomorrow”s big event.


The office team has been keeping up with e-mails and phone calls while also making final Open House signs like the Schedule of Events.


Sally and Courtnie in the office are ready for a busy day tomorrow. If you want to buy a t-shirt, you’ll be talking to Sally (left). If you want to buy a car, Courtnie’s your girl (right).


Factory Five customer Garry Bopp made the long trip from Atlanta and spent some time this afternoon in the showroom with another Gen 3 Coupe customer.


The new Gen 3 Coupe-R will be on display in the showroom tomorrow.


The Factory Five showroom moves outside while the place gets cleaned.

Doors open tomorrow at 9 AM for our 20th Annual Open House event. There is a triathlon scheduled at the same time and may cause some traffic problems. We have a Wareham Police detail working the main entrance to help with traffic. If you’re bringing your Factory Five car to the show, you can show up as early as 7:30 and we can accommodate you. Hope to see you tomorrow!
