The midnight cruise in Branson is August 9th. A weekend full of fun and entertainment. I know pack usually makes it, anyone else planning on going?

ya its the 8th and 9th. i know iam going and a few other locals are.

You can count me in - as if the locals didnt already know that

You boys rollin cb's and the whole 9 yards this year?

yes we are. runnin 19 like usual. i will be there. i'm thinkin about a hay ride with the mega cab.

Pack I like how you think! There should be 3-5 in our convoy, probably be all brands of diesels represented, that is if Hoffdog shows up!

I'm usually always there.

I'm there, is everything saturday night or is there something friday night?

somthing both nights.

More info please i think i might bring the family

last year we had 15 i think in one big caravan. smoke everywhere. and i got sopped 4 times for it. and only got one ticket. and it wasn't even for the smoke. i will be there friday and saturday night. i'm staying at the grand victorian. corey they have a car show with several nice cars and a burn ot contest that i somehow miss every year from to much beer the night before and sleeping in. normal bed time is about 3 or 4 am. good times. during the scolding hot day you could take the fam to silver dollar city or white water. holler at me.

Found a website http://www.supersummercruise.com/

yes lots of trucks cars and bikes driving. burnouts hot rods its nuts. iam staying @ the clarion. if yall want the clarion number for a room its 1-417-334-7666

Boys Harrison ain't that far away, I assume you stay to [coffee]?

yes we are. i will be because of the level of inebriation that i will most likely be in. if the hay ride is allowed and i can talk the little bro into driving, there will be a keg on the trailer under the hay. if there will be partakers of the bubbly beverage i ask for donations to help pay for it. if it gets floated, we will sipmly get another.

That is hilarious, good luck with that one! Are you going to be pulling a trailer I assume?

well looks like i got on here just in time...that sounds like a fun weekend....now the question should i bring one of the bikes, or the ol dodge.....if a guy was only going to be able to come for 1 night, which would you guys reccomend?

well i guess i answered my own question..haha...i checked out the site, and i think i might try and get a few trucks together and head down saturday afternoon with the gf and boy to check out the show and then the cruisen that night.....anyone else be leaving the springfield area to go down there on saturday?

I'd take the truck if it were me.

truck and maybe bike in bed

So what time is everyone headed up on friday ?

Can't make it Friday but will be there Saturday. Prob 6:30-7:00. It will be 100* I'm guessing. [yuk]

bring lots of beads :) some girls like beads........they think there nice;)

and they will flash you if you throw them some beads. i have a crap load of beads from mardi gras.

where was i last yr ? hmm must have been to drunk to realize that .

HAHAHAHAHA iam smart just not always sober lol i think this yr ill try to be a little less drunk see if i cant have a little more memory of what goes on . so what time you headed up friday ?

sounds like there is going to be a lot of diesels there, i think it is supposed to cool off a little maybe only in the 80s if that is cooling off.

80's will make it real nice for this event. I would love to see a good diesel turnout for this event. Although with the high price of fuel we should protest some how.

the truck stop next to my house dropped to $4.38 today

Gas here is $3.34-3.49, Fuel $4.39. Plain crap there shouldn't be a dollar difference.

amen to that

Won't be there till tommorow

so whats the word? everyone still in? we have been planning to go all week, but now there is a pretty good chance of rain in the forecast....everyone still going regardless??

well my weekend was great. i got stopped 3 times in one night because of smoke. did a few burnouts but never got caught. i also made it home today @ 1230 so iam happy. i did not see anyone from our group.

i was drunk the whole time. if there was anyone i didn't see them cause of blurry vision....... i almost got arrested, twice. hehehehe good times good times.

Saw you outside the Clarion I believe. Didn't see you driving around. Kind of a nasty evening with the rain.

i didn't have my truck there. i took the motorcycle instead. didn't get to ride it much either so it was a waste of time takin it. so i rode passanger and got drunk.

There was a good amount of diesel trucks though.

that there was. apparantly somebody must have made an excessive amount of smoke last year cause they actually had a law against it this year. there was about 13 of us that was filling the sky and covering the ground last year. it was great.

I hate to say but they have really cracked down on the event. When I was in college, it was out of control.

i don't think i'm going to be goin back. you are 100% right, they are getting to be bi%@#(&. they have something similar to this close to me in oklahoma. i may hit it next year or the midnight drags in rogersville.

Cops every 1/8 of a mile, alcohol sniffing dogs, etc. A few years ago a person could shut down the street by taco bell for burnouts. That was all I went for, I could care less about the actual cruise, I mean it's cool but the reckless abandonement is what I went for!

What is the midnight drag at Rogersville? I went to Midnight Madness in St. Louis a couple weeks ago now that was awesome!

Branson invites everybody down so they can get their yearly revenue off of them on cruise night. They started that about 4 years ago. I use to go every year but I don't place it near as high on my priority list anymore. They could at least mark off some spots on the strip and make legal spots for burnouts instead of boring everyone to tears. I never really went to watch the shade tree shiners cruise the road anyway. Alot of Springfield's faster street racing crowd use to go down and everyone had a good time. Wasn't unusual to see some local 9 second cars cruising around town.[laugh]

I couldn't have said it better myself. They told us last year that they raise the fine for burnouts by $150 or up to $150. The cops didn't think much of the 9 second cars cruising. They use to burnout in front of Walmart, talk about a show!

the fine for a burnout was $500 big ones........

Wow didn't know it was that.
