Daikoku?.. - Drifting forum

mint · 26-04-2008, 09:18

Hey guys,

I will be wanting to go the meets held every Firday / Saturday at Daikoku and wanted ask a few questions.

Is anyone up for going on the 19th or 20th of may? If so whats the best way of getting there? Iv made a thread over on the skyline GTR website to see if there is interest.

Monday, Tuesday?

The only way is by car since it's basically just a highway rest stop on an island. The weekend is the time to go, I've not been down on those days before but my mate tells me it'll be pretty dead. From Yokohama at midnight it's really close, even for me a little further away it's under half an hour out there. There are two ways to get to the island, on the tollway and on the free road. Use the tollway to go to the actual carpark where people hang out or the free road to get to where people go drifting. The spots are actually right next to each other so if I were you I'd go to the carpark, hang out and when you hear the sound of tyres walk 25m to the edge of the carpark and watch them drift the intersection below.

I'm not sure what I'm doing but I might be up for it. I don't plan that far ahead or anything haha. This weekend I'm going to drift matsuri, if you can get up there for a squiz, good stuff.

Ok cool cool matey. Where about is it you live? Tokyo area by chance?? If so.. THEN instead of the shinkansen (If you have space for 2 people) then we could maybe nab a lift? Help pay petrol?.. as im worried about not getting to Ebisu?.. >.<

Hope someone can help us out lol.

Yeah I live in Kanto, not a chance of getting a lift, a 180sx with a full rollcage and 5000 tyres in it has no extra space sorry.
