Since the early days of the automobile, its ownership has always allowed a type of personal freedom that, for some, evolved into a passion for driving. Having the ability to plot a course on a map has always generated excitement and, when combined with a full tank of gas in a car geared for performance, we're talking about absolute heaven.
After spending a long winter inside turning wrenches to update your present ride or to put the finishing touches on a new one, when the first pleasant days of spring arrive, it's time to hit the road for some fun. But after hanging out for an hour or so, you know that you'd much rather be driving. So, if you enjoy puttin' down the miles, then Cruisin' Ocean City Maryland is the place to be!
Ocean City is a 10-mile strip on the Maryland coast that is surrounded by amazing beaches, great surf, and more fun stuff to do than should be allowed. This quaint seaside community of 8,000 year-round residents is awoken once a year by over 3,000 registered entrants (from over a dozen states) who arrive with everything from barely street legal, Pro-Mod methanol-burning quarter-mile warriors to Cobras, rods, customs, and everything in between.
The main event takes place at The Inlet, which is at the tip of the strip and bordered by an old-timey amusement park. Once the inlet closes and nighttime arrives, the streets light up with the sound of thunder 'til the early-morning hours. The roads are lined with thousands of people taking in the cruisin' festivities from their hotel balconies, parking garages, and along the roadways. There's no place for trailer queens, since this is not a park-it-and-leave-it event. If you aren't ready to burn plenty of fuel, don't bother coming!
