FT86CLUB 86EXPO Review - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ichitaka05 · 06-22-2013, 04:27 PM

For member that miss this event, I hope this will help how awesome it was (not in teasing ways).

June 14th & 15th, 2013 we had first annual 86EXPO. Members from all over the US have drove & flew to Las Vegas!

Correction, there were member that came from Europe to see Saturday's event! Thank you and it was nice talking with you.

Friday June 14th 2013 - Autocross
Coordinating with LVRSCCA, we had solo2 course all to ourselves! Members came early as 5PM at the Silverton parking itching to autocross! There were over 40 FRS/BRZ came to compete, drive, ride, take a photo, & social. Decent amount of owner were their first time autocross and sounds like they had a fun time.

First session was practice session, to get comfortable with course and not to go too crazy from the beginning (You know, who I'm talking about

).

Yes, we have autocrossed til night! Some of the members were saying they have autocross before, but never autocross in the night and it was fun! We've autocrossed til pass 11PM! Big thanks to LVRSCCA for help with this event.

Now, for the time result!

2. Strohmeyer, Robert - 44.158
3. Moreno, Jorge - 44.976

As you can tell from the mod's list, engine power isn't the most important part (to certain extend) to be fast in autocross. Right suspension setup, brake pads & rotors, lightweight wheels & right width tires. I can't wait to see next year's 86EXPO autocross to see how much everyone have improve and what different setup/upgrades are done to the FRS/BRZ.

Saturday June 15th 2013 - Car Show & Cruise
At the Fletcher Jones Toyota Scion, members came to show awesome mods they've done to their car and see what kind of parts vendors offered at the event.

Car show, we had over 15 FRS/BRZ came to compete! We have chosen several members and vendors to vote which car they like.

After quick raffle drawings, we went to cruise into Lake Mead and Lake of Fire.

Outside was over 115 degrees, but member's FRS/BRZ blowing cold AC to cool them off (I hope).

Thanks to Beat-Sonic, Zeta Performance, Cusco USA, AVO Turboworld, Genome Tuning, JPM Coachwork, NorCal 86 Owner Club, FT-86 Speed Factory, Fletcher Jones & Club4AG providing us with all the raffle drawing goodies.

Grand Prize was FT-86 Speed Factory V1 Catback exhaust system (Big thanks to FT-86 Speed Factory).

Trophy Cups
We had total of six trophy cups to give out to. Topic were
Best 86
Autocross Fastest Time
Oldest 86'er (age)
Farthest Drive to 86EXPO (pic of odo before & after)
Best 86 Battle Wound (correction "Funniest"

)

pics of winners... will be added later... sorry, I'm still going through over 1000 photos.

...& sixth trophy was given to Norcal 86 Owner Club members as Special Award. Behind the scene, without asking for help, they helped clean the mess members have made at the dealer parking lot. I believe these kind of respectful act is important in the meet. Again thank you.

Event had few here & there hiccups, but overall it was smooth and everyone had an awesome time!

Oh we still have few event tshirt left, if anyone wants it, please PM me.

Thank you to all these sponsors who came to make this event big!

THANK YOU to 86EXPO staffs. Switch, M-17, Zaku, Tanuki & Manny. Thank you, Moto-san for helping me & guiding me through this event.

All the members who came to this event, thank you. Because of you guys, we made this event. Because of you guys, this event was awesome! Because of you guys, I had a blast (even I was getting roasted in the hot sun).

& last, but not least. Thank you to site admin: Hachiroku for funding this event to making it possible. It was great to see you at the event.

...what? You guys didn't see Hachi & wanna see how he look like? Giccin was lucky enough to catch him in the photo... he was using stealth mode, it was hard to find him.

I hope to see everyone next year!

Note 2014 86EXPO:
I'm getting few PM about having 2014 86EXPO at their state. That's fine, but please write reasons why. If you just write "Please do 2014 86EXPO at *****, cuz it's closer." I'll reply "Rejected". write a convincing essay (pics are fine to add)!

What a GREAT time I missed out on! The worst part is while I was on a family vacation my BRZ sat in our garage in Las Vegas only 5 minutes from the Silverton during the events. I had just hit 1000 break in miles and have been dying to try autocross. Maybe I should have let a out of town member borrow my car instead of cruising a rental? Please bring the event back to Vegas and I promise we'll turn down the heat next year! Thank you!
