Our vendor experience was interesting to say the least. We definitely appreciated the Socal86-ers, SD86-ers, LocalFRS-ers, and Purists coming out to say hi and chilling out at our booth. It definitely made our day. Thank you again for coming up with them and hope to see you guys at the next SD86 meet.

The Raffle was worse at Subiefest. But Subiefest was pretty awesome even though I spent the whole time at the Autox and didn't really get to walk the vendors and such (but I did have a great view of the track racing while autoxing!)
I think 86Fest needs more activities, like an Autox or Wet T-shirt contest or something But seriously, it wasn't that bad, just need a few more things to do like at Subiefest. |

This in no part was a rant upon any vendors who took the time out of their busy schedules to support its customers. Thanks David for always showing us SD86-ers some love!

Hey guys I really appreciate all of the feedback both positive and negative. I apologize on behalf of the staff for any inconveniences caused. It was a hectic day and the organization of stuff could have definitely been better.
The event definitely had some drawbacks when in the planning stages due to some conflicts which I cannot discuss in public but it was bad enough that 86Fest almost did not happen. The venue change was not something we originally intended and it put production of the event and planning in such a tight spot I'm surprised this was pulled off as well as it seemed. We as the 86Fest crew appreciate any and all feedback both positive and negative on how to improve on the event! We are working with some amazing people who have tremendously helped our event actually happen and it couldn't have been done without them. We all hope to bring you a better event next time and once again, if anyone has any suggestions, comments, feedback and etc. feel free to contact me here or fill out the contact form on 86fest.com !! Thank you guys both attendees and all of the vendors for coming and making this event happen! We love the community and this event is not for us and nor any kind of profit. This event is for YOU in the community! We poured out heart and soul into this with many sleepless nights and almost lost the event this year but thanks to your support we made it happen. Again please feel free to contact us. Love you all! -- Mike |

Some of these posts I find extremely funny.. You don't go to a car show, park your car in the car show and then leave early.. I've never seen actual car show participants just get up and leave, every show I've been apart of, from HIN, SEMA, DUB all of them, if your in the show your in until it's over.. Problem here is they let just anyone in.. One section I couldn't tell if it was owners or just the local scion dealership brought down some stock cars.. They said over the loud speaker many times it was a city ordinance issue.. But I guess they should tell car show participants not to leave the show early.. The first year was horrible.. This year i though it went well.. I've been a spectator and now on the vendor side and its halirious what some were saying about pricing.. I think the problem is most people or the average enthusiast just has no clue what things cost or what markup is.. Some items we were selling for a few bucks just to show support.. And people thought it was overpriced. it was amazing at some of the disrespect some vendors got from attendees.. Most places I know priced stuff so cheap that it would be a shock if they actually, "paid" for the trip..

I'm just trying to figure out why my presale tickets were $16 and change, yet they were selling tickets at the door for $15... I won't be going back.

Why not make the event something like a trip to Vegas or another city. Charge a registration fee and give awards to the different styles.

however at the 1pm drawing the guy behind the mic was ranting on so much ridiculous things. i realize he was trying to keep the crowd engaged but at the point where the crowd was suffering from standing in the 95 degree sun waiting for our numbers to be called, the mic guy kept going off on stupid shit and even doing poor raps. At one point they had a rap battle between 2 winners (first winner didnt claim prize on time, which then the 2nd winner was called). I left at this point. terrible way to do the raffles. |
