If people stopped going to these things, then maybe the planning staff could do a better job of executing the whole thing.
1. Don't overcharge (show entry, vendors, attendees, etc) 2. Stick to a timeline

The only terrible thing was the fact that it was dragged on until 6. Not to mention the fact that the awards were rigged. Literally only vendor's cars or people they knew by name won.

Everything was fine, I had good time except few things, when I was buying ticket for car show it said you enter automatically to raffle, when I asked staff they said they don't know nothing about and raffle tickets are for sale only. 108F* wasn't fun either.

Although there is always some politics and favoritism... 95% or more of the cars there weren't even worth judging. Every single point matters and if your car isn't extremely clean, it wont stand a chance. Replica anything(like fake 3 piece wheels or ebay lip kit), plasti-dip or spray paint anything, or anything cheap and tacky is points lost.

Ever since 86fest 2 they have been only judging booth/vendor cars for awards. It doesn't matter if you brought registration for a car show, you're basically just paying extra for parking since you don't even get awards. That's a reason why I stopped going, plus they didn't want to refund me back my money for the autox since I couldn't make it out anymore. I won't be attending any more events held by Antonio, they basically ignored my refund request and messages. Now I have to file a dispute with my bank, since they got greedy and have bad communication with the 86/Ft86club community.
