Factory Five customer Bob B.’s #26 GTM was recently featured in volume 3 of Motor Club Magazine. The magazine was created for Monticello Motor Club Members, and Bob’s gets a nice two-page spread.

The article discusses how Bob is one of the Monticello Motor Club founding members, and spends as much time as he can there. Bob built his GTM over a year and a half, and he races it in as many MMC member events as he can.

Bob is currently putting the finishing touches on his second GTM build giving this one the #52.
