Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Who is planning to attend Cruisin' the Coast in Biloxi, MS 7-14 October? I just made my reservations for the 12-13, hope to meet a bunch of board members!

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

We'll be there the 11th through the 14th. We usually camp on a vacant lot, on Hwy 90 in Biloxi. Which reminds me, I need to call the property owner and make my reservations.

Here's a pic from last year. I can't wait.

That is so cool! My wife is done with the camping scene so we will be staying in a hotel. :lol:

This will be my first time bringing a vehicle, so I am pretty stoked. :metal:

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Well, my truck is not running yet, mostly due to lack of focus, but I am doing my best. Hope to see/meet a slew of board members there! :metal:

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Looks like I will be going.. I will have to drive my ugly car considering I sold my 67.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

I will be there i hope ,i live here and have been in CTC since the start . Been having some health issues but hopefully thats getting straightened out. Wish i would have gotten a spot for my camper so i could sit beside 90 all week and chill... Hope to see yall there

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

I wondered what happened to you. Time to build another one. ;)

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

So, is there an area where the forum crowd hangs out? Any tips or tricks to know? I am only going to be there Friday, Saturday and home on Sunday morning, so I want to make the best of it!

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

If nothing happens family wise I plan on being there Thursday-Sunday morning...

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

This year is "Sweet 16",Crusin" The Coast's 16th year.
I've been to it every year.
Will be there this year driving my 68 anniversary or my 65 Caprice.If you see me,wave or blow your horn!I've never seen another of either of these at CTC!

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Yes it is and the hunt is underway.... After the the LX swap in the last one (loved it) everyone kept asking if I would sale it... I said no. However, I would trade it for a Corvette. So I have a very nice Corvette in my garage now.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Didn't know what happened either. hope you didn't have any damage from the hurricane.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

The traffic is horrible on Saturday. We usually get out early Saturday morning and do our cruising. Then go back to the camper and watch everyone else.

We're camping at St. John Ave and Hwy 90.... Come on by... Just look for my orange '71 and a '67 that looks just like your avatar.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Any chance your camp site could be our epicenter?

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

I'll be there also , trying to find a trailer so I can bring Thelma with me .

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Who do you talk to about a camping spot? I'd like to throw up a tent for a day or two.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Anyone is welcome to come by, anytime. We're kinda in and out all day during the week, but pretty much stay put there on Saturday, especially after noon.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

The property owner won't allow tent camping, I asked her, last year, about that.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Cool! There doesn't seem to be a place that the forum crowd meets for this event and it might be cool if we could meet up someplace if it's not too much trouble. I have never brought a car/truck to this event but it doesn't seem to be like a good-guys event where it is all in one venue and you can park together and sort of tailgate. Just trying to create an opportunity for us to get together. :)

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

At one time,we would gang-up at Edgewater Mall.
But,not anymore,because the mall parking lot is always full!(you'd have to get there very early to park)
The beach side parking areas are good places too.
Still a 9:00 p.m. curfew,which I think should be extended to mid-night.
I'd love to see a place set-up for internet clubs/sites to gather.I think it would need to be a pretty big area!
I live here and have some property,but 30 miles from the event.Too far for easy access to the event.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

I'll be there all week with a few other members and their trucks. I'll keep an eye on this thread for a time and place, and hopefully we can get together somewhere.

My father-in-law attends the event every year. He is from the area, had a pic posted on his FB page of a volunteer crowd putting stuff together for the event. Told him to get me a bunch of pictures, maybe he will get some pics of some of your all's rides. Have fun!

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

2 More days till the start of 8 GREAT days!!

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Looks like great weather for the whole event!

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

I'll be rolling in around lunch Wednesday. This is year #9 for me. I live for this week.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

AM to that brother....

I have been to all but 2 (#1 & #2) (I was outta town dang it).

All polished up and ready for tomorrow for sure!

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Based on these quotes there are a bunch of guys who know this event inside and out. Would anyone like to give some pointers to the new kids? Does anyone know of a place we could meet up? :banghead::banghead:

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Will be there it is always a good time .

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Have you all herd of Gulf Coast Motorsports Magazine? They are on Facebook or go to gulfcoastmotorsports.com. Lots of info there. Buddy of mine joined the club ($15) so he could park at their lot. Neat Magazine that you can read online for free.

We were planning on going this year, but the 1960 El Camino clone will not be done until early November. My 70 C-10 with 3 speed and 373 gears would be SCREAMING the whole way from Shreveport Louisiana with those gears.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

You've got to check out Ocean Springs. Try to get there early so you can get a good spot. Bay St. Louis is always a cool place. Live music and always tons of nice rides. Well heck everywhere is pretty much awesome. If I keep talking I'm just going to load up and head down tonight.

Looks like they are having a Cruise-in at the Edgewater Mall on Saturday night, that might be the thing to do.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Im heading down Wednesday, should be there just after lunch. Bringing the 67 and its my first time, I cant wait! Its going to be an awesome week for sure!

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

There's always a good turn out there. I met Krusty there last year.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Over 5400 registered cars as of today (Monday Oct. 8th)....looks to be the biggest year yet!

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

I am not going to be there until Friday around noon, can I register that late? I just want to have access to everything, and be able to meet up with some board members. :metal:

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

You can register anytime.

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

How many people plan on driving or pulling their trucks ? And for far is the distance ? I'm thinking on driving verses pulling . I'm about three hours away .

Re: Cruisin the Coast 2012
 

Well, I would say if I make a future trip. I would be pulling from Kansas. Got family down there in Biloxi, so the stay would be free. Plus my father-in-law is involved with the event, got a free tour guide...lol But if I lived that close, I would be driving. Building it to enjoy it, why not drive it. You all have fun out there, hope to see you all in the future.
