@Stuart Rhodes - please PM your car/mod information. I may have incorrectly placed you in Stock Class so please PM your info so I can put in the correct class. -thanks

It was a pleasure meeting Wilson and company on Saturday! Sorry I couldn't complete the weekend. Also met up with Larry and much appreciated for your help and companionship in the afternoon! Garful and friends, who I parked with, were invaluable help and company.

Sadly, my car experienced an unexpected large oil spray from the Vortech and had to end my Saturday/weekend early. Limping the car home on H5 was not fun and the subsequent days/weeks following were just as painful - long story short, the Vortech will be going thru an upgrade. The V2 upgrade is more track-worthy and should tolerate the abuse of the track. That said, it looks like I may not make the June 28/29 86Cup events at Thill. This downtime will also allow me to complete more necessary changes to the FR-S.

I've been receiving a lot of inquiries and sign-ups for June 28/29 @thill. It looks like it's going to be a great turnout!

TRANSPONDER RENTAL: rent the transponder at the same time you check in/register. There are two prices for transponder rental: 1) is $15 to get a simple printout of your best-time-only at the end of the day and 2) is $25 to get a detailed printout of ALL of your times (every time you went on track) at the end of the day. If you are attending both days, tell NCRC that you want the same transponder # for both days. You return the transponder after each track day. NCRC will only forward me all of the 86Cup participants' best-times.

You are welcome to rent the transponders from NCRC for personal use. Same prices applies. If it's for personal use, let NCRC know that you are not signed up for any classes/races (I believe they have up to 3 or 4 classes that categorize times, incl 86Cup participants).

Results from our 4th and 5th events held on June 28 and 29 at Thunderhill Raceway. Thanks to NCRC for hosting us. Special thanks to CSG, LPI Racing, and Mann Engineering for their support.

You can follow us here with pictures and videos from this weekend (starts on page 12). Thanks NorCal for the great shots and videos, technicals, and commentaries.

Next event will be on August 2 and 3 at Thunderhill again and people have been filling in the spots. Rumor has it that the Aug 2 and 3 events will have new entries who have just earned their wings to join us in 86Cup. Can't wait.

Results from our 6th and 7th events held on Aug 2 and 3 at the famous Thunderhill Raceway! Thanks to NCRC for hosting us. Special thanks to CSG, LPI Racing, and Mann Engineering for their support.


Half way thru our season and we welcome the twin-86s of @mkivsoopra and @sw20kosh. There's more than meets the eye with these 2 owners/twin 86s. @Rehabjeff blistering 2:08 and 2:10 lap times proves that you don't need anything but practice practice practice. What does that do for the rest of us? Uh hmm yeah... we need practice practice practice. Keep us on our toes, Jeff!! Next NorCal 86Cup events, Sept 27 and 28 (Sat/Sun) will be at Buttonwillow. And I think we will have our first female driver joining us :)

Coverage starts here:
Thanks to everyone that attended the fun-filled, educational weekend! As you know, we had a special guest over this weekend. CSG Mike was on hand to show NorCal attendees this deceptive track. With all the offs over the weekend, we are lucky that our boys and girls came home unscathed.


Thanks for sharing all the videos and pictures for anybody that missed it (including me). Mike breaks down Buttonwillow turn by turn, @mkivsoopra shows boost to a NorCal friend @garfull, our girls become victims of some outrageous driving skills by Mike and @sw20kosh. @WoOosOn gets chased down by a boosted sw20kosh but keeps relatively close lap times with him. These are just a few highlights from the weekend :). Thanks everyone!!

Subscribed! You can't even tell I have fender/bumper damage from the picture :)

Man that was FUN.....I will be at all the Thunderhill events for sure..."hopefully" racing my non-FT86....but I will try to carry the torch for the insane stock class (as in everything)...didn't even take the spare tire or tools out....and the best laps were with an almost full tank???

I do want another chance in Jessie's supercharged beast....I was no where near the limit in that car....much more speed to be found!!!

Adds character :thumbup:

Oh boy, that means more maintenance for me to do haha jk. Yes sir, anytime.

Thanks @MyRx for organizing this series. But let me just say you need to work on some better looking numbers man, the blue tape ain't gonna cut it. :)

thanks for snapping some great photos @Pwolf !

Oh and here is the 86CUP trailer video I made.
