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?

 

We are thinking about going.... We just got back from the Rod Run in Pigeon Forge.... How does it compare??

 

I'll be their from Tuesday to Sunday never missed a year yet it's always a good time

 

What is a good place/area to stay??

 

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!

 

Marriott right? Ill be there but my slow piece still isn't done so we will be in the gf car.

 

I will be in the slowest LS based car there so its all good haha.. What are you doing to your car? Yeah that's where we will hanging out at and most of them are staying... I'll be staying at the IP casino with my buddy ha.. Friday night we will be going to the sonic most likely.

 

Ok pm me your number and we will get up with you guys friday night i know me and the other TA guys will be there friday. Im in the middle of the 24x ls pcm conversion and i have everything a few other thing i need to wrap up.

 

PM Sent. Text me so I can get your number. Oh ok I see.

 

Staying at the IP as well. Going thur-sun. Planned on going to the drag strip fri night. Went last year & had a good time.

Sweet! Well hope to see you there!

 

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....
