Going off of this information, we should have the meets in:

Indianapolis
Portland, OR
Somewhere in southern Georgia for the TX and FL folks.

A portland one should have a lot of cars. I might even be able to swing that trip and just sleep in my car.. lol

I live in New Jersey, I loved driving down to PTuning last year for the 86Expo. I just hope it stays close to the East Coast. my suggestion would be staying in the Virginia/North Carolina Region.

Im gonna start with: I did not make it to the expo last year or the previous, simply because I never had it until this year. So I hope I can still share my thoughts

Time wise, North America's summer season would be really good and is mostly desired from the posts that I have read so far. Obviously a date that does not interfere with another big event.

As far as location, a scenic are would be nice. We don't just want to see our cars parked in spots all day. A cruise in coastal highways(West, MAYBE east coast) canyons(Arizona-ISH), or a mountainside(Mid-West, or somewhere along those lines) would be nice (note it would probably be a gigantic caravan of 86's)

With the Venue, somewhere where it would be possible to track and Autox. I don't know much about tracks and venues like that in this region, but I am sure someone will be able to figure that out.

TL; DR:
1. June/July/Aug
2. freaking any touristy area (I mean think of all the sexy car pics you all can take)
3. Fuck if I know

Id be down to drive anywhere, MAYBE anytime
Cheers peeps

86EXPO 2014, I remember that day. It was about 4000 degrees hotter than the surface of the sun.

Hey ichitaka, an idea for the next expo, at some point have the cars grouped together by color, or maybe have everyone squeeze the cars in for a giant group photo and have everyone standing by their car, camera on elevated surface. Just some thoughts.

It's kinda funny that, some ppl didn't come to the event cuz it was going to "rain" that day, but it was the "hottest" day that month lol

Anyways, yeah group pic w color coordinated would be cool

Rumor Alert:

You didn't hear it from me. 86 Expo will be very different this year. A whole new setup and look is coming. Details will be dropped near the end of March.

Teseo · 03-06-2015, 12:06 PM

Official vendors will come?
I'd like Florida cuz Daytona, beach is near etc.

With all this talk about "Geographic centrality" I'm surprised that Chicago hasn't been suggested.

That said, I am in the camp that thinks we should do a "central" 86Fest this year, Chicago, Indianapolis, possibly even St. Louis. All of these places have great driving venues and plenty to do.

Time should definitely be somewhere between June and the end of August.

Geographical center of the lower 48, near Lebanon, Kansas

My vote is for anything but St. Louis, and I live real real close. Too much national attention lately, and I don't think it would be the safest choice for our vehicles.

FRSTRM · 03-06-2015, 12:47 PM

Indianapolis, Chicago, North Carolina

Can I come?
