NST AE86 (8-6) Weekend Recap; Part Two…

Our guest blogger for this series, Thaison, and his blue Hachi Roku!

Honestly, I don’t know why I haven’t celebrated 8-6 day in the past.  How long have I had my Corolla?  About 4 years now.  But  for some reason…I never celebrated the festival.  What I do know is that I’m VERY glad I partook in it this year!

So NST Mike first told me about this masterplan back at the 512Project event.  We were sitting in the shade just off the blistering track where the event was being hosted.  He asked me if I could keep a secret.  “Of course…”  He told me about his plans of a TRI-CITY meet for August 6th, 8-6 day.  Houston -> San Antonio -> Austin.  I thought it was the most genius plan I’ve ever heard.

We do it big in Texas!

Fast forward a month and some odd days later.  What was the plan?

–          8/6: Cruise from NST down to S.A. to the Four Points Hotel.

–          8/7: Go to the Street Havoc Event at the Freeman Collesium/AT&T Center and watch the NST drift Demo.

–          8/8: Cruise up to Austin, eat some delicious food at Pho Thaison, hit up the twisties, and everyone heads home.

Action packed weekend? Ohhhh yeah!

Sadly I missed the Day 1 cruise from Houston down to San Antonio.  But I made up for it with the next two days!

NST AE86 (8-6) Weekend Recap; Part One.

Jonas Velasco's NST AE86 Under The Texas Sun

Three cities, three days, and 500 miles on the road … we took to the southeast Texas triangle; Houston, San Antonio, Austin.  Arguably the largest 8-6 celebration in the USA this year gathered AE86 (and other Toyota) owners willing to put in more than ten hours on the road to experience a multi-city road trip, car show, drift demo, and a weekend stay on the famous River Walk in San Antonio, Texas.

Enjoy the teaser pics here and stay tuned for a full recap coming soon!

From right to left... AE86, S13, Chaser.

Ready to roll!

We LOVE tastefully modified sleepers and Jason’s Canadian Toyota, featured in this entry, is definitely one that fits that description!

NST Blog Feature: Bugzie Hails From Down Under!

A few months ago (click here to get caught up)  we asked our blog readers to send in short stories/entries regarding their projects.  We received a few good entries and have begun sharing them with you.

These entries are not about who has the most power, who has spent the most money, or who has the most popular car.  Sometimes, the most interesting are the entries you don’t really expect to receive.  For example, Ray and Lea’s Yaris who answers to the name,  Bugzie!

JV’s 512 Project Recap, Part 2

512 AE86

Continuing from where we left off… Jonas Velasco’s 512 recap.

Woke up with the chickens Saturday and pulled the “dynamic duo” around to the front of our sanctuary to outfit the corolla for the masquerade ball; a pair of flares for the rear haunches were employed just to fit the bill.

512 AE86-2

That’s what is known as poor posture due to a weak core boys and girls.

512 AE86-3

Saddle shoe on wheels folks.

After finishing up, we headed out for the 15 minute drive to our destination: Driveway Austin Motorsports.  The drive didn’t show any signs of 512 traffic or other signs of potential mobile hooliganism.
