WEST COAST
Opinion by:
E. Eugene Webb PhD
The largest Jeep beach event in the southeastern United States is on in Daytona Beach FL beginning Monday April 19th and running through Sunday April 25th.
The
major portion of the event takes place at the Daytona International Speedway.
If you
own a Jeep regardless of the model, you need to try to attend this year's Jeep Beach.
Registration for the whole week is just $80.00 per Jeep, and that includes all
the people you can safely put in your Jeep.
If you
want to go over for just a day or two, you can buy an infield ticket for $10
per person at the front gate of the Daytona International Speedway, and you will
have transportation to and from the main event in the infield by tram.
That's
when I'll be there. When you're in the middle of a Jeep restoration you're
always looking for Jeep stuff to buy.
Jeep Beach
is a great family event with lots of things to do with your Jeep and lots of things
to do in Daytona Beach.
As I
write this, about a week prior to the event starting there are already 3000
jeeps registered to attend.
For
all the information Check out the Official Jeep Beach site
If you
want more up-to-date information check out these sites below.
I have
attended Jeep Beach over the years, and below are a couple of links to two
photo essays that we did in 2015 and 2017. You can check out my photo essays at
the two links below.
If
you've been going for a few years, you might spot your Jeep either out on the
beach or at one of the events. Before you're tempted to just click the link and
hit download be aware there are hundreds of photos at each of these links. Individual
pictures or the whole stack are free to download so help yourself. Just select
the picture you happen to like go up in the right-hand corner click the
download arrow, and here it comes.
Beach this year. She's going in for a heart transplant this week. A new Jasper rebuilt engine, and probably will not be ready to make the trip to Daytona Beach by the time the event takes place.
If
you're new to the Jeep family, let me be one of the first to welcome you into a
great fraternity and a wonderful lifestyle.
Oh, and
by the way, if you're worried about the kids, just bring them along, there are
things for the kids to do lots of jeeps for them to look at and overall, it's
just a great family event.
The
other really great event takes place on Sunday April 25th it's kind of a non
sanctioned event but the folks who run Jeep Beach have, on an annual basis worked
out an agreement with the city of Daytona Beach for a Jeep Beach drive on the
sand. You can trust me on this one it will be an experience you will never forget.
So come
and join 3000 or 4000 of your newest friends. Bring your Jeep, your family and
just have a really good time.
If you know someone who has a Jeep, be sure to forward this Post to them.
Hope
to see you there.
