The coffee and donuts are at 8 am but cars start showing up early. With it being a “tuner” show being there at 7 or even earlier would be prudent if you want a great spot on the parking lot. You can count on the parking lot, grass lawn, and the side streets being absolutely crazy full. The regulars will be there at 7. Word spreads fast among the tuners so even 6:30 might not be a bad idea.

Get there early if you don't want to park in the grass. I will be there around 6:30.

Tuners are mostly Japanese cars but some European cars that have been lowered, lit up, fart can exhaust. I am sure you know them when you see them.
Griots will draw a couple of hundred cars with hot rods, muscle cars, exotics, Corvettes, and others. They always have a theme and this month it just happens to be “tuners”.
Just a lot of car guys that are given an opportunity to meet and talk about paint, performance, racing, etc.
