Cruising the Coast (CTC) http://www.cruisinthecoast.com/ Is a week long car show across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Thousands of cars from across the country show up to show off. Every car that you can think of will be here...if you can find your favorite car or not is another story.
It runs a week long in the first week of October (Monday 1st- Sunday 7th) The days you want to be here are Oct 5,6,7th because Fri and Sat nights are crazy!
I called my work (Beau Rivage) for room rates. I can have 3 rooms at a discount. Friday and Sat night will run $129. http://www.beaurivage.com/
Isle of Capri Casino is a little cheaper at $97 per night. http://www.isleofcapricasino.com/Biloxi/index.php
Remember, you should book now just to reserve a room...you can always cancel if your not going to come. And of course y'all can stay with me but I dont know what my living conditions will be by then. I'll probably have something figured out by then but you never know and I dont want to take chances. Also, camping on the island is an option. I just need to find a boat, not likely.
Go here to search hotel rates on the coast http://www.gulfcoast.org/listings/index.cfm?catid=1

I gotta start saving up for this.
-
How good is the alcohol supply down there ?
-
The alcohol is flowin' like the Missippi river!
-
ok, here is the post for it. If we stay at your hotel Robert, are they sched you to work or are ya going to be off? I dont want to stay somewhere if your going to have to sneak in and stuff we do not want to get ya in trouble. Remember, I need a Casino for 1 night or day :yawinkle:
-
Looks like we will prob stay at the Beau Rivage, I will have to check into this, looks nice, how far is this from your house and where the cruzin the coast is? Hoping to see about coming down Wed or Thrus depending on how long I can get Bryan away from Work.

You better! lol

You better show up also!

A demanding one she is....Hmmmm.

I plan on taking vacation for a few days...again, as always, theres a chance I'll have to work. I'm batting 1000 for the past 5 years of requested days off so I hope my winning streak continues! If I have to work...you wont get me in trouble if you play with me.
As far as me hanging out at my work, not a problem, I just cant play table games. But, I dont want to drink at my work so partying there is out of the question for me.
If you book at the Beau you'll have a choice of ocean view or city view. Ocean view is wide open...no obsticles...al l ocean and a couple of islands. City view is deceptive, it's more like a small town view. You'll get a good view IMHO. You'll see a little distruction BUT you'll get to open your curtains and look at a few cars from up above. In front of the Beau isnt the hot spot but you'll still see some cars. The third floor of the parking garage will be full of hot cars too.
The hotest spot is about 1-2 miles west of the Beau. I live about 10 minutes from the Beau. But I dont know where I'll live in a few months. The land purchase is at a stand still.
-
I'll crash at your pad, it's usually where the debauchery ends up. A spot like that hotel is begging for a flaming couch over a balcony or something.
-
We plan on being there this year. :supz:
-
Sounds like fun. I will have to see how my schedule develops.
-
lol, TSM Girl- where'd you get that 'Cunt' crown avatar?
Robert, you know that I'm down....it will take some doing, but I'm down.
-
lol, TSM Girl- where'd you get that 'Cunt' crown avatar?
It was right next to the "Prick" Crown Avatar.

Find me an 'Insecure Jag-Off' one!

I talked to the lady at the dragway and she said we can use the track on friday for test and tune. She'll only have a couple employees available to work so she said 5 cars MAX! That kinda sucks in two ways. First, it's on friday from about 12-5pm...I dont know who will be in town to partake, secondly, only 5 cars, maybe more will want to partake?
Thats all the details I have so far for the dragway...were playing email tag.
Who's interested?
-
Do you need to know right now? I am not sure what car/cars and how many we were bringing.
-
No, not right now. I'm figuring That I can get two cars to come. Mine and Pauls. KMA may be interested too. If more than 5 cars want to be there maybe we could talk them into letting us help them help us.
Theres still about 7 months befor CTC...we got time. We'll have a couple full days, friday and Sat. Fri early we can go to the dragway (still pending), afternoon drive to the hot spots and look at the cars, nightime cruise with all the other cars (it's bumper to bumper for a couple miles), followed by hitting a casino for drinks and fun. Sat is wide open, cruise to the hot spots, and continue where we left off on fri (cruising)
-
If nobody else wants to hit the strip I''m ALWAYS game for that. PS Like Be4u said by 5pm on Saturday plan on being parked...last year it took about an hour to travel 2 miles, thats how bad the traffic is. Find a good place to park near a stoplite and enjoy the show!! :atbeer: :atbeer: :atbeer: I may even bring the wife this year...though she will be at the outlet malls as she could care less about the cars and the gambling. :jerkit;

PS For those who have T-tops....bring a hat, whether you have hair or not your scalp will fry!!! :snakeman:
-
LoL, that last post was funny. KMA, hell yeah! I'll count you in!
Here is a crappy vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnZrV9cs8oo
-
Hmmmm....I thought it was pretty damn cool~~~ :cool; the vid that is!!
-
I bet the vid was taked on wed or thursday. Only a few seconds of primetime footage.
Maybe I've seen the vid too many times.
-
You moved back to Biloxi?
Man...I have been out of the loop for too long.
-
LoL, yeah, last June. Home is home, I guess nothing can keep me away.
Hows your extended stay in Korea?
-

I liked the vid. Mustangs doing "one wheel wonder peels", and
the guy in the white S-10 getting busted by the cops. Good stuff... :rofl;
-
I remember Richard (aka sinistrv6) showed me that vid, the wonder wheelie was his favorite part.
Did you notice how the cop was making the s-10 pull up on the curb. Think he was trying to be a dick and mess up the guys ground effects?
Cops kinda enforce the law till it comes to sat night...then all hell breaks loose. I remember one year, I reved the engine right next to a cop, he looked at me and shook his finger. I continued to play around and suddenly the tires broke loose...luckil y for me he must have been hard of hearing because he didnt do anything about the chirp.
-
My GN only chirps when hitting 2nd. Other than that, the tires only
make a "zzzzz" noise. Its almost quiet, then all of a sudden you're surrounded in smoke. It's cool like that.
-

Miserable...I miss my GN. It's just sitting there in a storage wasting away...
My dad takes it out every so often for a walk around the block, but he's afraid to get on it (well...so he says). He's afraid of it getting stolen or scratched so he doesn't do much with it. It was a chore to get it in to have the alarm system repaired, as well as the driver's seat belt retainer. Thank god nothing major has gone kapoot or it'd turn into a big black garage ornament.
I might be in SoCal in August of this year. And we should be returning stateside in '08. Most likely I'll get stationed in Ft. Rucker, AL this (again). Which is good, I know of a few people with TRs there, as well as one very sharp mechanic (who I hope still lives there).
But if my wife ends taking another position here...then I'd have to tag along and that would mean staying here until '09. The plus side? We've saved enough money to buy the enclosed car trailer and all the bolt on parts I wanted for GN. If we do end up staying until '09, then I'm buying the stuff to tear apart the engine and build her up right. If not...then I'll put that off for a couple of years and buy the parts here and there as I find them.

Hey Be4u is there any prices yet for the track rental??? I'm game to fill a spot, if TSM and Wrecked wanna race their cars I have no problem watching instead of racing. Use me as an alternate if you want, like I said I'm game to be #5 on the list. :psix;
-
She never responded to my last email...still waiting.
-
I am so sorry, we will have "1" car at least. If we bring both, its no problem, 1 car can sit out. Bryan and I switch sometimes when we race and have only the 1 car. My GN is still in pieces. Not sure if I am going to bring the "Stang". Count us in for 1 car...
-
How many is that now?
-
like, 4
Me you Paul KMA
-
The reason I asked about price is that I looked up reserving a track out here for a "private" test session and it ran ovah $2000 bux...split 5 ways is $400 and that's alot of mula for a test and tune session. My buddies wanted to rent NPR drags and thats the price....OUCH!!!
-
PS What does Pauly have cooking for his GN???
-
Bumper fillers.
Thats what I'm waiting for Kris. I hope it's not crazy expensive. There only going to have two employees...we'll see.

I'll be out of country (company fired 2 reps) I'll be back just in time for the Reynolds event 2-3rd Nov....not happy with were I'm going either (well riding thru...no way in hell I'm staying there without armor)
-
Sorry, but we will not be able to make it this year. We have to get this darn garage finished before winter. Next week we are going to run up to Quincy to check on Wrecked em's dad. Next year sounds like a plan. God, it is hard to believe that this is October in a few days........EW WW
