Default Crusin' The Coast

Crusin' the coast starts Oct 3 through Oct 8 on Mississippi Gulf Coast. There are over 5k registered cars and will be a TON more. So who all is going?

Whats the benifit of registering vs just going? I am not sure what car we would even carry...I would like to take our T-Bucket if I have it ready but who knows.

Also is there a pretty good sized car corral there?

In all there is 10k+ cars. I couldn't tell you about registering vs going ive never registered anything so i don't know. But i can say that it is a great group of people BUT the only problem at this point is if you haven't already got a room reserved then you more than likely aren't going to find anything under 300 a night. Me and the family look forward to it every year we even book our room almost a year a head of time. All you guys going feel free in Pm'ing me and we can try to get up together or something. A lot of the guys on the local board always get together every year here.

I'll be down there that Friday morning. I think the advantage of registering is being able to actually drive into the events they have (maybe more)? I have not ever registered either.. MOST of OTracing (Central MS) will be down there throughout the week. Can't wait!

9:07PM SUNDAY, JUST GOT BACK!
I have NEVER seen the 1st day of CTC as crowed as it was TODAY, incredible is all I can say! So after I detailed my car until noon and then watched the Saints game we drove over to the Coast about 4:30pm and EVERYTHING is packed! I was shocked and I am sure the weather was a big factor. I took as many pics as I could before my battery died on my camera, never dreamed there would be this many cars there today!

Robbie, as far as registering, last year they reinstated the 25 year rule so unless you have cars 25 yrs and older you cannot register your fbody unless its grandfathered in like mine is, I lucked out last year. Not sure what your asking about with the corral but if your asking is this a good place to sell cars, YES!

And FWIW the difference between registered and not is:

There are special areas and events registered cars can enter, non registered cannot, that's it. I will continue to register now that I am grandfathered in just because, IMHO Ocean Springs is the place to go, Bay St Louis is coming back too but the hurricane changed it a lot, PM if anyone need's more info

Cleaned my beast today:

Here are CTC pics from this past Sunday and today 10/4/2011 showing a burnout competition they held in Bay Saint Louis, burnout pics start @ #39 and to tell how crowded it was, I got there 1 hour prior to start and still had to sit 10 back....
