Get revved up for the
sixth annual Thunder on the Gulf August
14-17. More than thirty of the world's fastest boats compete head-to-head in this
Offshore Super Series event in Orange Beach. These monsters will set the Gulf
on fire with 4800+ horsepower and speeds ups to 170 mph.
Kick off the weekend
Thursday, the 14th at the VIP Party and Welcome Reception. Starting
Friday fans can view the boats, meet the drivers and enjoy food and entertainment
at Race Village at The Wharf. On Saturday, catch all the qualifying rounds. Then
everything speeds to the finish line for Race Day on Sunday, August 17.
VIP
passes are available and give you special access to parties and Meet the Racers
events, admission to Race Village, and lunches and admittance at the VIP hospitality tent.
Viewing is great whether you choose a blanket on the beach or the balcony of
a condo.
And if you want to the chance to enjoy two weekends of speed, look for a special
invitation to register by August 1 for our action-packed Two Great Race Weekends giveaway. One lucky recipient will
be selected to enjoy a three night at the beach with a front row view of Thunder
on the Gulf and tickets to Talladega Super Speedway in October. |

| Not Your Everyday Vacation Day |

You've sunned. You've
splashed. You've eaten enough seafood to hold you for a few hours. Ready to try a little different adventure?
There are more than just a few ways to have fun in the sun along Alabama's Gulf
Coast. In addition to all the beaching, fishing, golfing, water parking, shopping,
and dining fun, you'll find plenty of "off the beaten path" activities. How about
getting a bird's-eye view of the shoreline from hot air balloon or a restored bi-plane? Become a shrimper
(for a couple of hours) on a cruise that takes you through the back bays
to see what you can net. Get reptilian at an alligator farm where you can view 150 rescued gators (including
the 13-foot-long, Captain Crunch, with a world-record bite) in their natural habitat.
Hey, it's your getaway. Live a little. |
