WHATS HAPPENING? Come out and celebrate the love of 86s at our first annual 8/6 Day Track Attack and Meet! This year 8/6 day falls on a Sunday, and the next time it falls on a weekend will be 2028, so, make your choice!


WHAT ARE WE DOING? This is an open meet for any and all 86s, new and old. The meet itself is free, and spectators are free. Upon entry, the facility will have you sign a waiver at the gate, give you a wristband and then you can come and go as you please. There is no sign-up, no VIP, no committing, and no cost. There is no limit to attendees looking to meet and spectate. Just show up and enjoy a fun day with other 86 owners!

For those looking for some driving excitement, this event will also be an OPEN TRACK DAY. We are not renting out the track. But we are asking those who do want to race to sign up and sign up early. The facility will generally max participation for an open track day to roughly 50 participants on-track.


WHERE DO I GO? 7266 Airport Rd, Starke, FL 32091 29.8323716,-82.0531501


WHAT TIME? The meet is from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM (you can come as early as you want, gates open at 7:30a) The track event is from 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM Gates close at 5:00 PM!


WHERE DO I SET UP? Parking for the track day participants: is pretty much wherever you want, but it's common to park in the shaded area to the left after you come in thru the gates which is always first come first serve. Depending on how many sign up for the track data, I will try to get us a designated area to congregate.

Parking for the meet & spectators: is not yet determined, but please follow this event, and turn on notifications to get updates as they arrive. The meet will be held right alongside the track day, on the same grounds. You will be very close to the action!

Tents, canopies, and trailers are allowed The site is mostly uncovered so please bring sunscreen, chairs, and an umbrella.

If you play music out loud please keep it at a low and respectable level. Way too many meets allow very loud music which makes it difficult to talk to one another about our beloved cars!


FOOD AND REFRESHMENTS? Plan to bring your own food and drink. The facility was kind enough to let us use the venue at no cost so PLEASE clean up and pick up after yourself. There are bathrooms available onsite. If you need something there is food and gas nearby offsite. Yes, you are allowed to come and go during the event.


HOW DO I GET INVOLVED? Details from a typical open track day at the firm are copy-pasted below. Please see the official event page linked here (once available!) for the latest information! Again, there is no sign-up if you're just coming to meet or spectate.
