    Cool Alan Motorsports?

    I just read an article about this place in the newspaper. Never knew it existed. http://gtmalan.com/

    Headquarters is in East McKeesport, PA. Anybody know about them?

    That's up 30 from where I live. Looks like the guy builds Factory Five GTM kit cars, scartches their name out and writes his on.

    I think I'm gonna e-mail Factory Five about that.

    I've seen them in person and you're dead-on. I don't think they really try to hide that they are Factory Five kits, though.

    They a brought a pair to Beaverun for the vintage grand prix. There was an orange one that looked like a race-prepped version wearing Hoosiers and then a few guys did some some "exhibition" autox runs in a street version.

    Here are some good action shots that someone took:

    Even with some decent drivers behind the wheel, there were quite a few smokey spin-outs

    Yeah I just found out about that company yesterday. Pretty gay if you ask me. Take a FFR GTM kit car, rename it, and sell it as your own supercar.

    Kudos to Factory Five:

    Thanks for the concern. We are aware that Alan Autosports re-labels our
    GTMs and sells them under another name.

    I happen to think our GTMs look way better than what they do anyhow. :)

    Take care,

    Yeah, a buddy of mine drove one at the Vintage Grand Prix last year, and I tried to see if they possibly wanted one to be hillclimbed for publicity, got a no. The orange one was featured on "Supercars" as well.

    I'm suprised not many have heard of these. I thought it was pretty cool seeing Tanner Foust beat on one in Battle of the Supercars on Speed after watching them run them this summer at beaver run
