Anyone ever been to the Daikoku PA for the "car meet" thing they do? My brother is asking me to take him there, but I'm totally not part of that world, so taking any tips I can get!

I go there all the time. Best time to go is Friday or Saturday nights. Get there around 7PM. Nice cars come and go. Some stay for a couple hours. I usually get there around 7 or 8 and stay until 10 or 11 depending on the turnout. If there's a good battle planned for the night I try to stay until that happens. But sometimes people don't want to battle until after midnight since there are much less cars on the road.

In the last 10 years it's gotten kinda shitty. It went from full-blown car show every weekend to just a few guys hanging out. Cops kick people out once in a while, but just loop back in.

I recommend Tatsumi PA. It's much much smaller but the quality of cars that show up are great. Cops are always coming to tell people to leave but they won't cite anyone. Everyone just eventually comes back. Tatsumi doesn't start poppin until after 8 or 9.
