Hey guys,
Some of you have met me at the Dublin get togethers and for those that haven't, my name is Michael, but everyone calls me Sugi. I recently purchased my 86 back in Nov. and LOVE IT! After the purchased, I began searching for information in regards to mods for the car. I came across this forum and have been hooked. I'm constantly browsing for new information or trying to help others with my own. It is great that we have such an awesome community and I will do my part to make it greater. With or without votes, I'm in for the ride. Thank you and happy voting. Last edited by Sugi; 02-26-2015 at 01:09 AM. |

Hey there peeps !
My name is Josh and I am running for a position on the NorCal86 Board ! I am an SJ native , born and raised in South Bay but currently go to school at SF State ! During my free time I like to hang out with other 86 enthusiast be it parked in front of a boba shop or trying to get the best time gokarting ! If I am not up late installing car parts with other members in vacant parking lots I am being a full time student and barista AND a pool hall/arcade attendant ! From being in this community I have seen how wonderful it is to have very different people come together to share a common interest (our twins duh) ! I realized that I enjoy seeing people have a good time and I would like to take it a step further by helping set up major events where we can all have fun together ! Even if you do not vote for me I hope we can go grab a bite to eat in the near future because FOOD IS LIFE Here is a picture of my super swagoi JDM cat Queen Tapioca (aka Boba) for your enjoyment ! Thank you for taking the time to read my post !

Pish has my vote and my most high recommendation of a leader to the Norcal 86 community. His tenacious positive attitude and commitment to hosting and maintaining SF Peninsula meets was inspirational and motivated many other 86s owners to come and join in on the fun which resulted in building a most welcoming community in a particular area of the Bay Area that normally does not have regular meets.
He has also hosted regular go-karting events up every month which in turn resulted many drivers have more seat time and training on their driving skills. This has proven valuable in the 86 cup when one of the regulars at the meets received a trophy at the end of the season. Pish is very welcoming of all who visit the 86 meets he participates no matter what car they own or not and has already proven to add value to Norcal86. Pish is a dedicated 86 member who is deeply committed to the success of the Norcal86 community in the SF Peninsula. He is ready now to assume position of increased responsibility and influence. |

first of all congratulations to @finch1750 for earning another undisputed Presidential term.
here is my statement... Hi, I’m Plato aka PMok, one of the incumbent Board members of NorCal86. I live in Hayward but often wander the backroads throughout the Bay Area in either my BRZ or my MR2 Spyder. I’m a hardcore driving junkie, in the canyons and the track. I’m also a cofounder of 86DRIVE. Hopefully many of you have met me at a local meet, or been to our website (www.86drive.com), or joined us on one of our drives. I’ve had the pleasure of serving the community as a Board member for the 2014 term, and if you’ll have me again I look forward to serving again in 2015. — if you’re short on time you can stop reading here the rest is just political blather. Sorry I have a degree in Political Science so it just comes naturally… — As a Board member and advisor to the President, I have advanced several key ideals that I believe are critical to the success and longevity of our community. Outreach and Inclusiveness. NorCal86 belongs to and serves all owners, drivers and enthusiasts who enjoy the 86/BRZ/FR-S platform. An important part of what we do is help spread the word about our community, recruit other new members, and make them (and their families) feel welcome to join our community. We use social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and FT86CLUB’s forums to do this and attract new owners into the fold, as well as keep members updated as to what events and activities we have going on. We hold casual meets, sometimes several times a week, throughout the NorCal region and encourage new members to come out and see for themselves what a wonderful group we are and the many benefits of being part of such a group. I hope that if you are reading this and still haven’t come out to hang with us informally at one of the weekly or monthly meets, that you do try to make it out some time. I have heard or read many comments about those who have come out, who are glad they did and found it a very inviting and friendly group, so I hope that tradition remains in our community for a long time to come. Integrity and Accountability of Leadership. Through the conscious efforts of the President and Board, we have made the leadership accountable to the community. This election is one example of that. We pledge to conduct our dealings, both in within and beyond our community, with honesty, integrity and always with the best interests of the community at heart. The leadership should also uphold the positive image that our community needs and deserves. I believe that if the leadership does not meet those standards, the community has the right and the duty to call them into question. Fun and Family Values. Let’s not forget that this is a club, not a job or a business. We don’t have to be here, we choose to be here. Don’t lose sight of why we are here. For many of us it is a relaxing activity away from the stresses of daily life and a way to make new friends, spend time with established friends, and help one another as best as we can. And enjoy something we all share in common, a love for cars, driving, and the automotive culture. I’ve seen so much generosity, selflessness, and enthusiasm in this community. So bring your positive energy and help everyone have fun together. My thanks to our President @finch1750 and to everyone on the Board for the 2014 term for a great year together. And know that whether I am reelected to the Board or not, rest assured that I will remain vocal about my own opinion that these ideals are things that the leadership and our community should maintain as a priority. Thank you to everyone for your support! -p.

Geez, after reading Plato's post I feel that I need to revise mine.
Sorry about that. Last edited by Sugi; 02-26-2015 at 08:56 PM. |

Seems like I was pulled back into the race. That's fine but I didn't vote for myself haha
I'm just gonna copy/paste Plato's statement [here]. And add, it's been my pleasure to be part of this community. What we have going here is a method of joining and becoming part of eachothers' lives. Sure, the car gets in the way but past the car talks, comes the intimate personal stuff. It's astonishing to observe at the meets that friendship has grown past "my car" to "when we going". How such a car can change your daily outlook especially on Tues-Thurs, even on the weekends. Never would have imagined this community we made for ourselves would turn out as great as it's been. I should introduce myself. Hi! Jessie here. I chose "MyRx" for the fact that this car is my prescription for my daily everything not FR-S related. It's the motorsport I enjoyed before my wife and kids. Hiatus, I believe it's called. I've enjoyed the ride before with a couple of Nissans and a motorcycle. But this twisty-loving "86" is a game changer - I'm still learning it believe it or not. East Bay resident pretty much my adult life so I take anything I can on Redwood Rd to Skyline. I've circled the bay enough times, the only place this car can't hang, are on the passing lanes on PCH against American/Euro power. If I'm not tinkering with the car, I'm enjoying my daily everything else Look for an exciting 2015 season with or without me on board! There's a handful of candidates listed that'll do great job! Good luck to everyone.

Norcal86 Board Member Elections
Plato really conveyed it best.
I've met a number of you at Dublin meets and was the guy who brought ladderball to the barbecue this past year. While I live in Merced, I have made an effort to stay involved as much as possible. I have been involved with the club from before our first run to Alice's Restaurant, and have enjoyed the camaraderie of the group. I'm running for the board with hopes that some of the southern Central Valley peeps will have a little more representation on the board. I now have two FRSs. One red JRSC kitted car "Fiona" and another release series "Deunan". Fiona is my track ready/street legal car, while Deunan is out DD and cruiser. If it's not obvious, I'm truly a big fan of the cars and the community we have developed around our favorite rides. Regardless of whether I get the votes needed, I plan on being even more active than before. Please consider voting for me and spreading a little love to our Central Valley peeps.
