WHAT IS THE LX & BEYOND NATIONALS?

Founded in 2008, and based in Ohio, the LX & Beyond Nationals is the ONLY drag racing, car show and entertainment event in the United States completely dedicated to the Modern MOPAR Muscle and Performance vehicles. A grassroots event that began in Spring '07, as a meet-and-greet in a restaurant parking lot in Columbus, OH.

This annual event hosts hundreds of die-hard enthusiasts and aftermarket manufacturers from California to New York, from Canada and everywhere else in-between. Enthusiasts interested in showing off their cars, testing its performance limits on the 1320 and learning what is new and available in the aftermarket attend this event every year. The event is open to the public and dedicated to the continued growth of the car hobby. If you own an LX-platform or any SRT performance vehicle (or in the market to purchase one) this is an event you want to attend and see what the cars and the culture associated with owning one is all about.

This event has two purposes, which we firmly stand behind:


Provide an industry-leading event for the modern Mopar commmunity that is exciting, dynamic and unlike other automotive events

Contribute to the continued growth of the car hobby, by bringing together modern Mopar musclecar and performance vehicle enthusiasts from across the country in a family-oriented atmosphere. This includes the aftermarket manufacturers, vendors and frontiers that support these vehicles.

The LX & Beyond Nationals continues to grow each year because it's a necessary alternative to owning a late-model Mopar (LX/LC-platform or SRT) and being put into the corner of other "All-Chrysler", "All Hemi" or "All-Mopar" events. These cars deserve their own spotlight and time to shine. Since our beginning, attendees have graced the pages of some of the industry-leading magazines including: Mopar Action, Mopar Muscle, Performance Auto & Sound, Domestic Driver and Urban Racer Magazine.

We are MOPAR enthusiasts just like you and enjoy being apart of this family/culture; and owning an "LX & Beyond" vehicle. In addition to the looks and performance, the camaraderie of owning one is what fuels our passion for creating this event each year. We look forward to seeing you at the 2010 LX & BEYOND NATIONALS!

Paramount Performance’s products can be seen in some of today’s highest horsepower applications with an unheard of warranty. Welcome BuilderBill to the 2010 LX & BEYOND NATIONALS! We are very happy to have PARAMOUNT PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS (http://paramountperformanceproducts.com/) on board.

[turbobuckeye]

Thank you everyone for your patience!!! We had to delay the 17th update a few days to sort out some details but without further ado....here's the latest news!!!


We are pleased to announce that the LX & BEYOND NATIONALS has joined the East Coast Modern Street Hemi Shootout Series (http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=206466) for the 2010 Racing Season. The point series has been organized by Builder Bill, FlyByU and lou1355.

We think this is a great idea and honored to have the invitation extended to us to be a part of it. This means all GEN III 5.7 and/or 6.1 based HEMI vehicles will be eligible to compete in the heads-up points series which began in Bradenton, FL earlier this month and will conclude at Atco Raceway in November. We look forward to seeing ALL competitors from across the country that want to have a weekend of fun lining up head-to-head with some of the leading GEN III HEMI vehicles in the country. Even if you are not racing, come out to support and cheer on your favorite forum member, modern Mopar or performance shop.

Thank you again to Lou, Bill and Dan for taking the initiative on organizing the points series. Keep an eye out on post #1-6 for updates on rules and regulations for the points series.

Anybody that does not want to race heads-up and enjoys bracket racing competition you will not be left out of the action. In addition, to the heads-up racing we will continue to host the bracket racing classes for you. I know there are some folks out there looking forward to defending their 2009 titles and we are looking forward to seeing you as well.

Last but not least, the carshow competition will also return for the 2010 season and details will be coming soon on the classes available for those of you interested in competing for awards and prizes. Without a doubt, this is gonna be a busy and fun-filled weekend for all of you able to attend!


In case you missed the announcements, once again would we like to thank the following sponsors for their support: PARAMOUNT PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS (http://paramountperformanceproducts.com/), BILLET TECHNOLOGY (http://www.custombilletstore.com/), and SPARKPLUGS.COM (http://www.sparkplugs.com/). More announcements on the way!!!


Team SRT is planning to be in attendance for their 2nd year in a row. Last year we saw the Viper-powered Challenger in-person. You will want to be here to see what goodies they bring out to the event this year!!!

I will be visting our friends in Salem and Boardman/Youngstown, Ohio the early part of March as long as the Ohio weather cooperates. I will be snapping some pics for everybody to get a feel for the area around the hotel and also firm up some more details for the event weekend.

....looks like Indiana is making a run to overtake Ohio too with 6

.....so far Michigan and New York are battling for 4th place at 5 each

....where is Illinois, Pennsylvania and Kentucky? Only 1 each so far.

....happy to see our die-hard attendees from California, Arizona, Kansas and West Virginia


Its no surprise but Brilliant Black appears to be the #1 favorite among attendees.

....Inferno Red is making a respectable showing with 8 so far

....Bright Silver is not far behind with 6

....the high-impact colors (Hemi Orange, Plum Crazy, Sublime, Torred) are all battling for recognition in the middle of the pack, its too early to tell who will break away


The suprising statistics of the day:

....Chargers leading the way with 22

....Magnums are currently in 2nd place with 17, over the Challenger with only 11

....300/300C is at the back of the pack with only 3 and behind the Grand Cherokee with 5

Just seen Quaked City raceway is up for auction

That's not funny

Unfortunately this news is true.

We've been advised by Quaker City Raceway management that the racetrack will be put up for auction and sold (with no reserve) on October 19, 2010. http://www.baerauctions.com/upcoming-auctions/quaker-city-race-way/ Which means the future of the facility at the close of the season is uncertain. We would like to thank QCR for their hospitality and support of the LX & Beyond Nationals over the past few years. Its definitely a sad day not only for us but also the Salem, Youngstown and Boardman, Ohio communities.

I am currently reviewing offers for the new home of the 2011 LX & Beyond Nationals. The following locations are on the short list: Mid-Ohio, National Trail Raceway, Thompson Raceway, Norwalk Raceway, O'Reilly, Kil-kare and Edgewater Race Park. We expect to have a decision made by end of October. Feedback is welcome and encouraged.
