CALLING ALL REGION 14 EL CAMINO'S!!!

The event of the year is upon us! Tomorrow, October 2, marks the start of one of the coolest, large-scale car shows out there.

From Bay of St. Louis to Ocean Springs, there will be up-wards of 5000+ classic cars lining the Mississippi Gulf Coast, parked at daily venues and lighting up the streets at night during this most unprecedented event.

You DO NOT want to miss this event!

Let's see how many El Camino's we can get to show and represent NECOA.

Here's a link to the event: Cruisin' the Coast (http://www.cruisinthecoast.com/)

Hope to see you there!!! :beer:

Note: I will be there from Thursday evening to Saturday afternoon. PM me to meet up or simply respond to this thread.

My wife and I will be there for the day and probably end up at Edgewater Mall after lunch because it's easy to reach. The good weather forecast should ensure a big turnout overall. Hope to see you then.

Josh, I will be there, I will call when I get there.

I should be in my 84. root beer top & champaign bottom. DON"T MISS THIS ONE GUYS IT IS LARGE.

Awesome! I planned to be at the Edgewater Mall around the same time, so I'll keep an eye out for ya'll. :nanawrench:

Josh,

Wish I could be there. It's definitely on my "bucket list" to do one day! Hope you Gulf Coast guys have a blast!

I was there on Saturday afternoon. I did not even know about this event. I was visiting my sister in Mississippi. Although I did not go to the events, I just rode through on the beach boulevard.

I want to know who owns the purple Elky with the oversized chrome wheels that I saw driving around downtown Picayune, MS on Sunday.

Anybody?

As of Wednesday, 4287 vehicles registered from 35 states and Canada. I'm number 2976. I just got back from cruisin' thru Ocean Springs and Edgewater mall. Next stop Long Beach marina. I got my Corvette mirrors mounted last Friday, and added QTP electric cut-outs. The Elky looks good and sounds bitchin''....

I'll keep an eye out for ya. I'll be at Ocean Springs in the AM after I register, got in too late to do it today.

The Deep South Mopars had an event (non-Crusin sponsored) call Mopars at the marina on thursday afternoon. Over 120 Mopars showed up. If we talked it up, I'll bet we could do something like that next year. Just bring your lawn chair, and a pop-up tent, and a cooler. There are rest rooms near by, an plenty of food joints across the hwy. think about it.

My wife and I will be there for the day and probably end up at Edgewater Mall after lunch because it's easy to reach. The good weather forecast should ensure a big turnout overall. Hope to see you then.

It was nice meeting y'all at Edgewater. Hope y'all had a safe trip back.

We ended up having a fender bender the next day on our way back to the hotel from Bay St. Louis. We're ok but the Elky had some hood and grill damage. We still had a gr8 time nevertheless.

Does this event take place on the same dates or week each year - so that plans can be laid for next year?.......................Ken :poke:

2012 dates are October 7-14.

I was there. This is an older picture as I have different wheels and tires now. This was my first time at Cruisin' the Coast. I'm thinking about going again next year too.


I'm the other Josh with an El Camino. :beer:

I'm the other Josh with an El Camino. :beer:

it was cool to meet you and your gang too! I was in awe with all of the El Camino's this year.

Keep checking in for an official Region 14 meeting. :cheers:

Maybe we could plan an event for next year with NECOA's support? :poke: A great meeting from all those close enough to come over for a day or two, with a motel reserved for those of us, like myself and the poppa'gater, who may be traveling. I've been wanting to make this event ever since I heard about it several years ago, It would be so much greater if there were several other Elkies to Cruise with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone up for that? How about it, Bayou Elky, do you want to take responsibility for the planning of the NECOA participation next year?.......................Ken :beer:

We were there on Friday, met Gr8ridejester and it was great to put a face with a forum post! We saw almost every year of El Camino production that day. The registered turnout was unprecedented with over 5,000 vehicles: the year before Katrina the max was about 4,000. An offsite location as 84withzz4 suggested or an easy access on-site location targeted for the week for official and informal NECOA gathering/parking would be nice. We ended up talking to quite a few owners outside of the gulf coast region and look forward to next year.

I hope that you folks had a good supply of NECOA flyers and such to hand out to the non-members that were there. We can use any opportunity like this to recruit new members.......................Ken :beer:

Making an official NECOA presence there for 2012 would be a great excuse for a fun time, and a good chance to recruit some gulf coast members. I say we put it on the calendar. :nanawrench:

I'm certainly up for it if we can begin the plans now. We should be able to draw folks in from around the near States. Poppa'gater, would you work with your counterparts over there to see that it happens? That little 'gater ought to be up for the adventure by then! THANKS, and I'll anticipate the Cruise for the next 12 months...........................Ken :beer:

Ken what a great idea, count me n. Seems that last sat. would be best & a central location.

Bayou elky

I'm in for this for sure...now what? :poke:

Ken what a great idea, count me n. Seems that last sat. would be best & a central location.

Bayou elky

Would you mind working with the poppa'gater (rushgator) and other leaders in the surrounding States to promote this. Let's see if we can get 20 to 30 Elkies interested in coming out to make this a real showing! I bet the motels are allready getting booked up for next year............Ken :beer:

Are y'all sure it was a fun thing? I did not hear of crabs and crawfish being boiled :poke:

I'm comin' to get me some in January so don't be leakin' any oil down in da Parish or I'll send Uncle Billy to get ya!

How could we have a Gulf Coast gathering and not indulge in some seafood?:beer:

Looks like we have the beginnings of a gathering. The interest is building! Sounds like Maverick and the 'Goose may be coming, I heard someone talking to the Jester. Somebody should check about accommodations? :poke:................Ken :beer:

Somebody should check about accommodations?

Agreed. If anyone that lives in the area wants to make some recomendations for a NECOA base hotel, PM me the info, and I'll contact them. I would rather a local who knows the area make the recommendation, because all I know about the area is I-10 when I'm driving thru to Florida. Thanks!

Im in. Jester, call me.
I just saw this. I'll give you a buzz today.

Josh, I am n let's start planning for an elky pow wow n '12. when, where, time, & a headquarters site as near to the coast as possible.

Bayou elky

Most of the hotels on the beach in Biloxi are either already booked or not available to book just yet for the week of Cruisin' the Coast next year (Oct. 7-14). I find it easier to just stay off the beach in hotels closer to the interstate...cheaper rates and less noise at night.

The best thing we can do is look into a vacant property that's for sale and offer to rent the lot for a day. We could just have the El Camino display that way and not have to worry about everyone staying in the same hotel.

Any ideas are welcome! :dontknow:

I vote for a group hotel, maybe somewhere on the outer reaches of the area where we want to gather. The lot rental sounds like an excellent idea if it's a possibility for just 2 or 3 days. Whoever's familiar with the area can maybe identify some prospective hotels, or maybe we should use a travel agency, since the hotels book up fast. It looks like we could have 15 to 20 members eventually. What are the thoughts of the group?.......................Ken :beer:

My wife and I stayed at the Country Inn & Suites in Ocean Springs this last time. It was a really good location -- it's next to the interstate and a short drive down the road to get to Hwy. 90 (Beach Blvd.). The staff were more than accomidating...even let me check out late without penalty when I got in my accident. They have a free breakfast from 5am - 9am; including waffles, hash browns, bacon, sausage, cereal, etc.

If we book early enough, maybe we could all get the first floor or something.

Josh, good by me c what u can come up with, price time,etc.

Bayou elky

Josh..sounds like a winner right there.:nanawrench:

I'd be happy to call them, but you're welcome to do so since you have the contact info, are familiar with them, etc. etc.. If you do, be sure and ask them about group rates. For the Belton show, we got a group rate because we booked more than 10 rooms. From the sound of it, we should be able to do the same here without a problem.

Also, love the idea of renting a lot to be our NEOCA base on the strip. Will definitely need a local to scout that out and get the contact info.

Any way I can help, just let me know.:nanawrench:

What days should I inquire into? Thurs. thru Sat.? (Thur. and Friday nights) :dontknow:

Oh wait a minute!!! Howd did I miss this!!!
I've been to Cruisin' The Coast one time, man was it great. Post pics later!!!
But now back to this, heck yea bring it on!!!!
I'm double game, I have some details in my life to work out but I can make it happen!!!!
Is there a drag strip anywhere near????:nanawrench:
Lets Do It!!!!!
Donny:texas:

They have events related to Cruise week

Now, I'm in a quandry. I'm VERY new to this site, but pretty old to the Chevytalk.org site. I have an '87 El Camino I bought in September, and a '56 Chevy Belair 4dr sedan. I had been thinking of doing the meet next year with the '56, BUT, this one really interests me even more. There would be me and my wife (of course SHE doesn't know about this yet!!!:secret:). I really would like to be kept in the loop as things progress, as this sounds fantastic!!:beer::texas:

What days should I inquire into? Thurs. thru Sat.? (Thur. and Friday nights) :dontknow:

I think that would be the way to go. If anyone wants to come sooner, they can book themselves accordingly. But for probably 90% of people, Thurs-Sat will be the most they can do.

You can come, but only if you promise not to wear your Speedo on the beach. It frightens people.:poke:

Gentlemen & Ladies, I do believe that I see an EVENT forming up! Between the several Regions and states involved, this can be an extraordinary meeting for the NECOA. Let's be sure that we have the right planning process taking place. I know you folks are talking to each other and I have faith in all.....................Ken :You_Rock: :beer:

I always get free accomadations from my mud-in-law. Just an hour away from Josh and 5 minutes north of I-10 :poke:

Beepster. You'll always be in the loop if you check in with us here in the Region 14 or Region 13 Forums. And, Region 6 should be jumping in any day now! The best forum for this gathering is probably 14, so keep her tuned, and get ready to CRUISE!!!!..................Ken :beer:

How far away from the cruise area, Chucky? .................Ken :beer:
The track is central to the cruise, between I10 and the coast (Hwy 90). It's about 2-3 miles north of the coast and west of downtown Gulfport.

Josh,

Have you checked on anything with the hotel you recommended yet? If you need any help with anything, shoot me a PM and we'll work on some plans.:beer:

I've placed a call in requesting 15-20 rooms on the same floor, if possible. I should hear back soon, hopefully. I'll keep ya'll posted.

Josh, keep me posted. Thanks

Frank

I never heard back from Country Inn & Suites, so I've place another request with Holiday Inn in Biloxi and Holiday Inn Express in Ocean Springs. I asked to hear back by Friday, Dec. 2, 2011.

More info to come...

Josh, sounds good, keep me posted. Frank

And Region 6 is watching! :secret:

i didn't know about this - after checking the web site photos, i wanna do it! looks cool

ED and the group did this about two or three year before the big blow when it was much smaller.

Ok Lets turn up the heat on the Florida group this sounds like a good one to group up several STATES, It comes right after our Region 6 meet in Ocala but lets see who wants to try and do it.

Great idea to get someone from the area to find a motel that is a reasonable area and parking safe, there is a lot of areas near this event that are not what you want !!! back later

" sounds like a convoy there rubber duck" great idea.

Bayou elky

Thanks for checking on this Josh. Hopefully you'll find a hotel who's interested in making some money for themselves!

Ok, let's get a head count of how many are planning to attend and will need a room. I've gotten a proposal from Holiday Inn Express in Ocean Springs for $89 per night for Thurs., Oct. 11 and Fri., Oct. 12. The quote was for 15 rooms. Will we need more???:dontknow:

Please respond A.S.A.P.

Thanks,
Josh

gr8ridejester, Florida is coming put skinyfisher and Lenny down for one room with 2beds only !

I hope you need more rooms but no matter that is a fun cruise and a multi state meet will give the two days a big lift. Ocean springs is real close to the different events. I think there will be more out of Florida jumping aboard.

Awesome! All of the rooms are two Queen beds.

I'll PM you the reservation info. You'll need to either go online and set it up or call our contact.

Alright, guys and gals...we have a hotel.

The Holiday Inn Express in Ocean Spring, MS has offered us 15 rooms at $89 per night. The dates we have reserved are Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012 and Friday, Oct. 12, 2012, so check out would be Sat., Oct. 13, 2012 at 11am.

This will be a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE basis, so you will need to make your reservation A.S.A.P. Any room not reserved by 09/27/2012 will be cancelled.

I have reserved a meeting room for us on Friday, October 12, 2012 from 5pm - 9pm. We can meet up and either bring food and drinks or have it catered. Suggestions and donations are welcome!

PM me for reservation information.

I'll need a room, and I'm sending you a PM for the rez info now.

Now that we have the lodging accomplished, what do we need to do about a NECOA gathering place on Hwy 90? I remember a comment about renting one of the vacant lots on the strip for the weekend.

Do it right at the Holiday Inn, this would depend on how many car come, if it is a 15 cars, meet end of day at the motel and BS and what ever. If enough come we would own the parking outside the block of rooms, unless we get to wild no one will say anything ??? They maybe even able to help us with things if needed.

I'm still looking into a lot to display on. I'll keep everyone posted on this, and, if anyone else comes across something, please let us know.

The Holiday Inn Express, where we're staying at, is located by the interstate, which is not a problem to display but is not on the beach. The hotel mentioned they have the space for us to gather with our vehicles, if we so choose. So, that is a viable option. I'm still looking into other possiblities though.

I do have a meeting room reserved for Friday, Oct. 12th from 5pm to 9pm, so I'm sure we'll have a gathering at the hotel one way or another. :beer:

Alright ya'll, I just spoke with Corina at the Holiday Inn Express. All of the rooms, outside of the 15 we have blocked off, have been reserved for Cruisin' the Coast. Only a few of the 15 rooms we have blocked off have been reserved, so PM me to get the reservation information A.S.A.P. if you want a room!!!

Thanks Josh :beer:

i keep going to their site to figure out what's going on, when is what happening and where; but really there is nothing but 2011 info - it looks like a good event but i don't know how it works.

i don't want to go to one spot and wait for cars - i want to be cruising down the road with a ton of hot rods! i looked at this as a mini-power tour

Cruisin' the Coast is a week-long event and spans from Bay of St. Louis to Ocean Springs. There are daily venues (like a car show with music, food, etc.); there's an auction that goes on; flame throwing contests; or, just cruise up and down Hwy. 90, where you'll be joined by thousands of other classics. :beer:

It's a blast to be had by all, registered participants and spectators alike.

Keep checking the Cruisin' the Coast website to see the schedule for 2012. They'll usually have it posted by May.:dontknow:

Two nights are reserved, but if a person wants to come earlier and stay later than the two days, will the price for the rooms be the same? If I'm driving that distance, I want to do a lot of cruisin', and that can't be done in just two days with plans for what's happening with just the Elky group. I have friends in the area (Biloxi) I want to meet up with, but not stay with. I don't want a jump of $20-30 per night outside the two days. AND, I'll bet they will accomodate.

You can check with our contact, which I PM'd you, if other dates are available and the costs associated with it. Rooms book up quickly for CtC, so they may or may not have any available. Good luck! Keep us posted on your findings.

My wife and I stayed at the Country Inn & Suites, which is across the street from the Holiday Inn Express in Ocean Springs, last year and had a great experience. So, that may be an alternate if HIX is booked.:dontknow:

OK OK I've him hawed around enough on this! I'M BOOKED!!!!! Beepster I booked for Wednesday through Saturday at the same rate. I was undecided on arrival date and still am but will definitely wait until Sunday to leave. So I have the extra day(s) booked ahead and can change that right up until 6PM day of (Their time).
That Corina is a sweet and helpful young girl indeed. Turns out she is from my area and went to the High School in the town where I worked!
I can't wait! Didn't I just read that Ken is bringing the :beer:?

Well, the biggest thing coming up is the last Saturday of the month (May 26); the 2nd Annual Texas Inviational in Belton, TX, which Jimmy and I will be at.

This weekend, there is the Wheelin' N Peelin' Car Show in Rayne, LA INFO (http://www.crowleypostsignal.com/view/full_story/18497952/article-Wheelin%E2%80%99-N-Peelin%E2%80%99-show-revs-up-Saturday?instance=secondary_news_left_column).

The next Tanger Mall car show is on May 19th from 4pm - till.

There will be a car show at the Hooter in Denham Springs, LA on May 20th starting at 4pm.

Here are a couple of links for some upcoming car shows in Louisiana:

I've come up with a flyer for those attending Cruisin' the Coast this year. If you attend the 2nd Annual Texas Invitational in Belton, TX, you will receive a hard copy in your goody bag.

If you see anything that needs modified on the flyer or feel additional information is needed, please let me know.

Thanks,

That looks good!:beer:

That looks good!:beer: Thanks!:beer:

I sent an invite to Dennis Gage to attend our little gathering...

http://www.myclassiccar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=578&p=8908#p8908

Who knows, maybe he'll show up?!? :dontknow::secret:

Hey I like it! Maybe we (all) can get together and put up donations to have a catered dinner on Friday evening. Hope something good is planned for saturday too. I want to meet more of my NECOA Brethren and enjoy more of this great event too!

:beer:

I think a catered dinner would be great. No one has to work at getting food there, cooking, setting up tables, etc. BUT, where would the caterer deliver the food, and is there seating/tables available? Just something to think about, with a very good suggestion.

We have the meeting room reserved at the Holiday Inn Express from 5pm - 9pm, so we could definitely hire a catering service. I'll get a Paypal account setup for people to make donations, if this is the general consensus. I'll create a poll...

I'm in favor....good idea, Randy. Might as well, since we already have the meeting room reserved. Something simple and inexpensive like BBQ would be good.

The NECOA logo needed to be changed, so I did some more modifications to the Cruisin' the Coast flyer. Please tell me your thoughts on it.

Looks good! Appears to have all the necessary info on it.

The updated flyer looks great Josh! Glenn the BBQ thing would probably work for all too. Maybe it should be BYOB. I'd break the bar tab myself if that was included! We can start to work on a real head count around the end of August maybe because a caterer will probably have a per person charge for their price. Or maybe some BBQ place nearby can take a bulk order for pickup. Josh maybe you can feel that out when you have some time...and please e-mail me the updated flyer .

Thanks...Randy :beer:

Thanks for the compliments on the flyer. :cool4:

Randy, I'm going to get the general consensus for what most will want to have. I will check on some of the local places to get a feel for the prices and availability during CtC. I know the Shed, located in Ocean Springs outskirts, recently had a fire, but they are supposed to be up and running by the time CtC comes around. That's one of the best places, IMHO, around there for BBQ. Ken will be taking care of printing out the flyers, but i'll email you a copy of it.

BBQ for the meet night is a real good idea and a time saver, allows you to move about and meet and great and show and gives you the hole time right there now 2 hour food search. I am in and can send via check or paypal.

BYOB is also the way to go. Maybe the catering can be set up with a named box dinner for each that wants the delivery at the meet room or ???

I just called our contact at Holiday Inn Express and was told there are only eight ( 8 ) more rooms available under our block. After September 27, 2012, any remaining room(s) will be released from us and reserved out to whoever calls first.

If you plan to make reservations, you need to do so SOONER THAN LATER!

Again, all of the rooms are double queens and are only $89 per night, which is an EXTREMELY good deal. The dates we have reserved are Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012 and Friday, Oct. 12, 2012, so check out would be Sat., Oct. 13, 2012 at 11am.

:secret:**PM me for the reservation information**:secret:


Some catering options are being faxed to me today, so I will let ya'll know what I find out from that.

They gave me the room for Wednesday through Saturday at the same price. And you can cancel or change up to 6PM (their time) day before.

I received the same offer for Wed. - Sat. as well; however, if someone is trying to book right now, they may not have the rooms available other than the ones we have blocked off (Thurs. and Fri.). Please do check, if you plan on staying longer though. :beer:
