2010 LX & Beyond – The Caravans

Good way to find out who else in your area or state is thinking about attending the event is to get those caravan threads started. Its never too early to start planning even if you don’t have the specific route and time yet. Really good idea too for sponsors that have shops in the cities that caravans pass thru.

Ontario, Canada to Salem, OHIO – Lead Contact: CDNChargerRT

California to Salem, OHIO – Lead Contact: stitchmonkey

LxReJx to Salem, OHIO – Lead Contact: AndrewWK

Columbus, OHIO to Salem, OHIO – Lead Contact: ytown87

Northeast/Mid-Atlantic to Salem, OHIO – Lead Contact: pjs1965

LXoM to Salem, OHIO – Lead Contact: BadazBee-423

Southeast to Salem, OHIO – Lead Contact: BaadRT

Maybe a caravan is coming through your town/city or you find out you are not the only one in your area interested in going. Start planning today!!!

Here are some other ideas:

I-71N Caravan: Louisville > Cincinnati > Columbus > Salem

I-70E Caravan: Illinois > Indiana > Dayton > Columbus > Salem

I-90E Caravan: Indiana > Toledo > Cleveland > Salem

I-90W Caravan: New York > Cleveland > Salem

I-80W Caravan: New Jersey > Pensylvania > Salem

I-75N Caravan: Florida > Georgia > Tennessee > Kentucky > Cincinnati > Columbus > Salem

Be Safe, Obey The Speed Limits and See Everyone Soon!!!

East Coast Modern Street Hemi Shootout comes to LX & Beyond Nationals

We are pleased to announce that the LX & BEYOND NATIONALS has joined the East Coast Modern Street Hemi Shootout Series for the 2010 Racing Season. The point series has been organized by Bill Schurr, Dan Van Horn and Lou Montgomery. Thank you again to the 3 of them for taking the initiative and organizing the points series.

hemi-shootout-banner201

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.

In addition, anybody that does not want to race heads-up and enjoys bracket racing competition you will not be left out of the action. The LX & Beyond Nationals 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.

2010 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak Kicks Ass, Takes Names

mp009_051dg After the 2009 Challenger Drag Pak enjoyed such a warm welcome from enthusiasts, Mopar elected to kick off the new year by giving hardcore drag racers more of what they love with the 2010 Challenger Drag Pak. Outfitted with a 6.1L HEMI V8 (can be configured for a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission), the 2010 Drag Pak weighs in at roughly 1,000 pounds less than its street-legal counterpart and features enough mods to blow your doors off (on the track, of course).

Essentially a Challenger SRT8 on the juice, the Drag Pak features a composite lift-off hood with functional scoop, Viper-style front seats, polycarbonate door windows, a light-weight cooling module with electric fan, manual rack-and-pinion steering, a special cable-operated deck-lid release, special lightweight front-brake assemblies and special cable-operated throttle linkage and pedal assembly.
