So every year, 86 day is celebrated around the time of August 6th. This year, 8/6 landed on a Monday, which makes it difficult for many people to attend an event on the actual day — bc of work, school, etc. So all of us local Texas 86 guys always celebrate 86 weekend, usually the weekend before 86 day. This year, we decided to celebrate August 3-5.
This year, we decided to all meet in Austin and enjoy 86 festivities in this beautiful city.
Day 1 — 8/3:
Mark & Jonas were the only out of towners that made it this year. Mark drove all the way down from Dallas. Jonas trailered his hatch all the way from Houston. They got in Friday afternoon and came down to the pho shop to meet up with Joseph and I. P.S. most of the pictures in this blog post are shot with a Minolta MAXXUM 7000 35mm camera. Circa 1985. What better way than to celebrate an 80’s car with a period correct camera! All images unedited.
