Scrapin’ the Coast 2021 on the Mississippi Gulf Coast

BILOXI, MS (07.02.2021) – The 2021 Scrapin’ the Coast event filled the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum and surrounding grounds the weekend June 26th and 27th in Biloxi MS. A large enthusiastic crowd checked out hundreds of rides, exhibits and vendors inside the coliseum. Members of the crowd were drawn outside to see more vendors and demos with the Gulf Coast waves in the background. The Limitless Lithium demo, loaded with DS18 gear, was certainly one of the loudest on the grounds. All experienced the DS18 slogan “We Like It Loud.”

The Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi was the place to check out Scrapin’ the Coast 2021.

The show floor was filled with great demo vehicles showcasing exceptional design and craftsmanship.

James Halter, Stereo & Video Center in Tyler TX, included time at Scrapin’ the Coast in the family’s vacation. Halter, and daughter Katelyn who takes great pictures, spent a lot of time inside and outside at the event.
Halter relayed “The Scrapin’ the Coast was great and one of my favorites to go to every year. I always like to see if there are new enthusiasts and consumers trends we might be able to incorporate back at the store in Tyler. I also like to take the opportunity to catch up with any industry friends or other friends I have made going to shows that might be there.”

This demo vehicle, with DS18 subwoofers, was amazing.

Ray Mckenzie, and the BATCAP brand, was in the House. “This is the 19th year we have displayed at Scrapin’ the Coast. Attendance was up from last year. There was so much congestion on the highway out front the show actually got going a couple hours late. Our new BATCAP 7600 Farad Advanced Carbon Capacitor grabbed a lot of attention from folks with big systems.” Ray’s son Tanner and staff Daniel and Zak were also in the booth.

Across the 12volt industry retailers are continuing to have record sales months. Distributors are slammed with business and there are increasing product shortages from vendors. Manufacturer rep firms are beginning to travel their territories in certain areas of the U.S.

Scrapin’ the Coast is an example that the overall marketplace is returning to normal. Sound-Off events are seeing large turnouts of Competitors. The KICKER Country Stampede in Topeka KS June 24-26 drew a large crowd but was dampened by numerous thunder storms. June 23-27 the UTV Takeover in Coos Bay OR also drew large crowd. These are more signs that the COVID-19 Pandemic is fading in the rear view mirror.
