i guess its at the daytona international speed way,

with events there and also there a beach cruise or something

along those lines

Yea...the basics are; Friday night is the opening party at the Wing House (I believe), then Saturday is the main event at the Speedway with some other stuff going on saturday night after the show, then Sunday there is a huge parade of Jeeps that drives out to the beach, drives down the beach (weather & tide permitting), then back to the host hotel for a closing pool party.

 

I did just find out that you can not just come as a spectator. In order to get in the Speedway, you must pay the $60 fee to register for the weekend and bring a Jeep in.

Yea...that's the downside to this year. This is the first time that it has been at the Daytona International Speedway, and the speedway has set the rule of no spectators for "security" reasons from what I have been told.

 

If you decide to come, please be sure that you get there during the registration time. If you get there even one minute after 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, they will not let you in.

It was a long, hot, exhausting day, but there was a huge turnout. They had 306 Jeeps registered in the event on Saturday with 700-800 people in attendance. I can only imagine that it would have been twice that if spectators would have been allowed in. There were 208 Jeeps in the parade that went through Daytona and down the beach on Sunday. I got a couple pictures, but we were pretty busy, so I didn't have a chance to get much. I'll post some later today when I have time to get them out of the camera.
