Hello Everyone! Thank you for the questions and comments. Let me try to clarify a few things. Toyota of Olympia was impressed and grateful for the opportunity to cater to our 86 Enthusiasts last year in 2015, that they have truly invested money this year as a way of saying "thank you." Toyota of Olympia is doing it simply because of our 86 community's great and positive attitude. Thanks to your commitments and support, we are able to push and hold these big events.

This event's main focus is to cater to all 86 Enthusiasts interests combining a car show, track time, meet and greet, go-karting, mixed in with some special guests who would love to come out and meet the 86 Community. The idea is to get all positive and enthusiastic owners to come out and meet one another while providing an opportunity to get some track time that is "hassle" free. Meaning not having to deal with the various forms, tech inspections, and high priced ticketing involved in holding a true track event such as an HPDE Event or other various forms of dedicated track events.

This is a great introductory for those who have little to no experience on the track. The pricing is set low so that all who have been hesitant in trying a track day before can finally say "Hey, I'd like to try it!" To top it off, it's not only track racing, but gymkhana as well so that everyone can finally get to try different sports our cars are involved in. We understand that there is a number of you who would like to push the limits of your car in which I have addressed and we will try our best to cater to those requests within reason.

We want everyone to come out and have fun and experience what this event has to offer. Are you going to push 100+mph on the track?, no. But you will be able to experience this track at an awesome pricing and so you will be better familiar with it the next time you come to the Ridge.

What it comes down to it my friends, if you are coming with the expectation of this being a dedicated track day with professional instructors etc. Than I am truly sorry for that miscommunication and if you would like to be refunded your money than please let me know through pm and I will contact Toyota. As mentioned before, this is a time for us to meet once again with the opportunity to have a track at our disposal.

Toyota of Olympia has truly taken a chance with investing money in our 86 Community with very little to gain on their end. Let's show our support by supporting the event and coming with a positive attitude.

Let's also thank the 20+ volunteers within our own 86 community who are working this event and ensuring that other 86s get to the event safely and on time.

This is gonna be an awesome time guys/gals!
