In my area, it's done at the local Wal-Mart where a big bunch of 'hot' cars congregate every Friday night to show off and meet.
It's gotten kind of organized the past few years and not as spontaneous so I trust another 'lot' will soon be found.
Before Wal-Mart, it was another shopping plaza lot a few miles away where the cops kept an eye on things and nailed anyone doing burn-outs or getting obnoxious but otherwise let it go, as some of the cops had muscle cars they brought down to show off from time to time. The plaza eventually closed and the (ever-changing) crowd moved to a muscle-car-tolerant Wal-Mart.
As I said, this is a very old custom in many places but obviously not where you are.
As Mercury mentioned, most of the crowd is over 21 and many are in their late 20's to late 30's or older. Not a 'high-school crowd' although teenagers are welcome, but they usually have other places they go or just not enough are into the muscle-car scene.
Ricers are around but in a real minority and don't stay too long when they realize they're minnows swimming in a sea of hungry V-8 sharks.

Of course it happens here too...its a small southern town...there's NOTHING else to do. But that was my point. Down here its nothing but kids, don't know what the adults do usually, but they sure aren't at the lot...that's all I was asking.
