I didn't take that many photos either. Just spend my time talking to people!




@BigFatFlip's iconic rally look.




@MisterSheep's birthday balloon.


@Pish's tow hook mounted birthday balloon as well.


Just a fraction of the cars that showed up. Incredible turn out this year!


Clean!

Thanks to the NorCal 86 board for putting today's event together!

A big thank you to everyone who came out today to our End of Summer meet. We had a great turnout! I hope those of you who joined the caravans from the South Bay and the East Bay enjoyed the group cruise to the Junction -- this has been one of my favorite drives for quite some time. Thanks to Brian @PRKR8NGR for setting up the South Bay caravan. This event couldn't be a success without all of you joining us out there on our 86DRIVES.

A huge shout out to the staff at The Junction Bar and Grill for being our hosts for this event, I know the line got crazy with all of us hitting the counter for lunch at the same time, but everyone I talked to seemed to really enjoy the food there and I am grateful for their hospitality.

Thank you also to Jonah @finch1750 and Jessie @MyRx86 who helped with pickup and transport of some of the raffle prizes we gave away today. I could not have done this without the help and support of these long-time members and co-conspirators of 86DRIVE. Thanks to Josh @Pish also for helping me out with managing the prize lists and tracking the winners.

@PandaBRZ thanks for some great photos of the day. And I'm sure @Pwolf will post some great shots soon too. Anyone else who took pics please share as well!

I know quite a few of you who were drawn for a prize but didn't feel like you were going to make good use of that prize, chose to forfeit that prize, and throw it back into the pot so that another 86 owner could win that prize and perhaps appreciate it more. That was an incredibly generous thing to do and reflects what a wonderful community we have. Thank you to those of you who did so in the hopes of benefitting someone else in the community.

Last but not least once again my gratitude to the generous vendors and supporters who donated these awesome prizes for our raffle. Their support of our community helps to make these events a success and I hope you will continue to support them in return if you have the opportunity:

One more thing -- Happy Birthday to two of our NorCal86 Board members, @MisterSheep and @Pish !

here's a short video from our East Bay Caravan... including the hairy moment when we encountered some random metal scraps out on the highway.

I didn't take too many pics or videos at the Junction but I did post them up on Instagram -- follow us @86drive if you haven't already.

I think I may have fallen victim to those metal scraps ahaha all thanks to an suv dodging the debris and shooting it towards me..
Great drive and to meet you all though!

[Xxyion]

This was definitely one of my favorite car meets. I really love the community up here.

[undefindedt]

Lots of fun.....good food as always...good talk with the crowd who comes to The Junction

If you talk about the prize you'd like; you may just win it
Thank you Mann Engineering

Thanks for fun 86Drive and Norcal86

P.S. I didn't take a single picture

My wife and I had a great time. My wife liked it a lot, which was nice. This morning she is all, "what are we doing to the car next?"

Nice friendly group. We hope to join in more activities in the future.

[Pwolf]

When you're occupied with catching up with people, you forget to take pictures. Here's all I got:















Also, can't believe I won the mug, again. 3rd year in a row! I'll have to take a picture of the whole set.

LMAO meanwhile, I'm over here... trying to figure out how to hide an extra set of wheels in my garage from my wife...

Had a blast! Really glad I made it despite my decision to make the drive super last minute.
Didn't get to share the drive up, but got to cruise on the way back for a while with the hot lava FRS and a few others that joined caught up to us after a bit ��

Looking forward to the next one!
