This past weekend on The Powerblock, the boys from Horsepower TV announced the winner of the Factory Five-Powerblock Sweepstakes Mk4 Roadster Give-Away. Close 200,000 people entered the contest which awarded a Factory Five Mk4 complete kit along with a full set of tools from Matco and a huge parts credit from the good people at Summit Racing.
The lucky winner was Joshua Hammett from Virginia who was on-set with Powerblock host Courtney Hansen. Josh receives a free Factory Five complete Mk4 and a whole bunch of parts and sponsor items from the show.
This contest generated a tremendous amount of interest here at Factory Five and I can’t tell you how many e-mails and calls we received from guys wanting to know if they had won. The crew got together and decided to do something for the guys who didn’t win. We don’t normally have sales at this time of year (since it’s the building season and orders are brisk), but the guys came up with some interesting ideas so that even if you didn’t win, you can still score a great deal. Click here for full details.
Congratulations Josh! Welcome to the club and we hope you build a great car!

Wow, good for him! I hope that the prize was adjusted for taxes, or that he has other means for covering tens of thousands of dollars worth of unexpected income.
Cheers, John

I'm usually more positive and optimistic, but I can't help think that this kit is going to end-up being Mike Everson's next score when it hits the market.
