Ocean City Cruisin' Weekend 2008

[bad64chevelle]

May 15-18, 2008
The show itself is only for 1976 and earlier, but the main thing is just cruising up and down the main strip all weekend. Its an amazing time, definitely worth it if you can get some time off or whatever.

www.cruisinoceancity.com

It is $35 (before March 1) for the show which includes a guest pass
$45 from March 1-May1 and that still gets the guest pass
$55 day of show (if there are still spots open)

You need guest passes to get into the shows, and if you just go I believe they are $20 each down there. If you bring a car (76 and older) its worth signing up because you can drive, and park at the shows at different areas, even if you plan on just walking around, or whatever. Parking is a pain! You will see some really insane cars cruising all weekend, and many of them are on street slicks, so ya know at some point youre gonna catch a few exhibitions of 0-speedlimit. Ill be going down the 15th, staying at a friends house, but hotel info can be found at: www.ocvisitor.com if you do plan on going make sure you get in touch with me before the 15th and if there are enough of us we can all get together down there. At night there are TONS of places to go to, I will talk to my friend, its her house and she knows all the places down there to go to, so I will post those up later on if anyone wants to know those.

I'll be down there with my friend Dan again. I believe hes getting a hotel somewhere on the strip with a balcony so we can drink to our hearts content and walk around.

We should definitely meet up again and cruise together!

[bad64chevelle]

Definitely Alex, my buddy Steve is going to have his Monte Carlo this year, so we will definitely be doing ALOT of cruising. There are a few spots that we may need to have a few photos taken at this year, and not have to leave because of over heating issues <knock on wood>

[jin1481]

[chevyt454]

Put it this way, I needed new tires on the car after Ocean City :-) Its 500x crazier than wildwood with whats rolling up and down the road. We would be up at 9-10 be cruising by 12. We would finish up cruising around 2am party till 4 and then repeat it. The cars never stopped rolling, and from the condo we heard and saw stuff all 24 hours a day for the entire 5 days we were there. At one point I was cruising between a 67 SS chevelle with a blown 468 Rat motor and a 69 SS Chevelle that was rolling on slicks (not even street slicks) that had a 7.xx dial in. So yeah, I would say its kinda crazy down there. The best part about it is being able to cruise and let off some steam, you get to see some things cruising that you never get to see other than in pages of magazines or on the tv.

Already have my room booked!

NICE! What hotel are you staying at?

[chevyt454]

Thunderbird Motel on 32nd street.

[DaSkinnyGuy]

It's possible i maybe able to come, currently i am in ocean city,MD in the hilton oceanfront for the weekend. Family is thinking about coming back down.

[DaSkinnyGuy]

Talking with some people on LS1tech.com and there will be many people there and they plan on staying together as a group.

[bad64chevelle]

if they havent booked a hotel yet they probably wont be staying all together, if at all in ocean city itself I think most places are booked

[chevyt454]

I can't wait!

[bad64chevelle]

yeah I hear ya, my buddy and I have been working on his car every weekend and will continue to do so till its done, I am at a stand still waiting for parts for the front end. Its been three weeks now, even after they were supposed to be delivered yesterday, still nothing.

[chemicalstylez]

I'm going to get a room this tuesday... I never go into the actual show lol. I love crusin that huge strip...hopefully no rain this time around!!!

[bad64chevelle]

Yeah, I dont think I will be attending the shows because I wont have carpet or anything in the car, but I will be cruising all weekend. The rain never stopped some from cruising last year :lol:

[chevyt454]

Change of plans - I'm staying at teh Coastal Inn which is right on the strip & 26th street. I'm also heading down on Thursday unless you guys want to cruise down together.

[bad64chevelle]

Im leaving around 10AM on Thursday with a bunch of cars (on trailers) I dunno when you planned on leaving or anything.

[chemicalstylez]

I'm leaving thursday around 12-1pm, driving down Route 1 the whole way. I'm staying on like 119th at the Sirene. Everything was booked up when I drove down there yesterday to scope a place out. So i'm kind of far out, but even on 119th theres still a lot cars :)

[bad64chevelle]

Yeah I am staying off the main strip this year but was somewhere about 54th last year by the 7-11. We all have to make a night we can meet up, and we also need to get some phone numbers if there are any problems while we are down there so someone isnt left stranded. Ill make a thread up for phone numbers soon.

[chemicalstylez]

Sounds good... I have a 99 Vette and a 94 Z28 tagging along with me this time around. Putting my headers on in 2 weeks, and hopefully i'll be cammed by than too. Cant wait!

[chevyt454]

Maybe we can pick a spot to meet up.

[bad64chevelle]

I am working with some guys over from Team Chevelle to work out a time to all get together, I will let you guys know also.

[ar0ck]

Hey Big Jon, think you might have any room for an extra person? My friend Dan with the Stang is backing out on me and I'll have no where to crash.

[bad64chevelle]

I will ask but I am staying at a friends parents house, so its kinda not my call.

[bad64chevelle]

24 days till I leave, How bout we put some phone numbers here so we can all meet up or have some help if there are any problems down there?

I will update as the list goes on (check the first post)

[firebirdcrazy]

Isnt there one show there from the 8th of May thru the 10th for modern vehicles?

[bad64chevelle]

no idea.

[bad64chevelle]

Anyone else? Leaving in 2 weeks!

[DaSkinnyGuy]

I want to i am thinking about maybe leaving really early saturday morning and going there with a friend

[ar0ck]

I'm still waiting to hear back from my friend, but so far it doesn't look like I'm going this year as planned.

[bad64chevelle]

A week and three days. Car still isnt on the road, but starting at 4:30 this afternoon after my last final I will hopefully be on the final stretch to getting the car there. Hopefully no more wrong parts, and it can just be an easier time than the past two weeks. Anyone else getting stoked for this besides me? A bunch of guys from Team Chevelle are talking about meeting up at hooters, I will keep you guys informed, they havent really spoken about it lately.

I'm still waiting to hear back from my friend, but so far it doesn't look like I'm going this year as planned.

Alex, same buddy as last year? Come on man you gotta get down there, last year your camera broke before we could get some good shots of the car!

[chemicalstylez]

I got my headers on 3 weeks ago. Used my H/C/I money on a new rolex hahaha...ooo well. I'm leaving thursday afternoon around 1.

[chemicalstylez]

I'm going laaaaate thursday night now. I have Flyers tickets now RAWR.

[bad64chevelle]

Okay I wont be in the Chevelle. Still having clutch issues and I havent even broken it or the cam in yet. I will be in my dads 73 Challenger. Bright Yellow with black bumpers, so flag me down if you see me in it. We are leaving from Bordentown around 10am on Thursday also, so by 4ish I should be cruising.

[chevyt454]

Anyone from North Jersey Going?

[bad64chevelle]

Okay, Ill be leaving around 9am tomorrow and dont think I will have much time to post or look on here between now and then. Everyone have a safe trip, and if you need anything dont hesitate to call my cell. If you pass a yellow Challenger on a trailer behind my Ram, just honk as ya go by (and if you pass my yellow challenger on a trailer behind something else make sure to get the license plate number:-)). Ill be cruising with two other trucks (another Ram and a Lightning) towing cars, so you wont really be able to miss us.

[chemicalstylez]

FANTASTIC TIME. I totally forgot about the LS1 meetup in that one lot, but either way was still a great time. Nothing like flooring it in front of a cop and he just smiles at me hahaha. I wish i had taken pictures, I forgot my camera :( One thing I noticed though, there is waaaaaaaay too many Mustangs there lol.

[bad64chevelle]

You got off lucky then, did you NOT notice all the cars pulled over? Glad you had a good time, we all did too. Some of the guys on Chevelles.com are up in arms about how bad the cops were. Sounds like they were busting the blower guys for obstruction of view. It also showed that the "berger" panel is getting played out some. How many Camaros did you see with it? :lol: one Red Cammed LS1 Camaro with one almost rear ended me and had the balls to come and yell at me because he DEFINITELY wasnt paying attention. He jumped on it right next to me and got pulled over about two blocks later. I guess he didnt learn his lesson because about 45 mins later I saw him pulled over AGAIN!

Yea I noticed a lot of blower cars were all pulled over for what seemed like no reason. But my friend actually got a ticket and a warning and he was basically street racing in his Corvette. That place is so much fun though, the clubs are great, tons of girls, tons of f-bodies, and lots of mustang bashing mmm.

I lost a good college friend there. Hit by a drunk guy racing another drunk guy. I hope they give racing tickets all day long there.


But that is a great town for fun. Ride the bus for $1 all day, no need to drink & drive. The Bearded Clam FTW

[bad64chevelle]

Its $2 now :-)

[BonzoHansen]

Its $2 now :-)

Damn inflation! Still a bargain!

[bad64chevelle]

:lol: yeah we rode it to the inlet for the show since I never signed up to get in
