Modern Mopar Versus Old School Mopar Throwdown Coming Next Season

IMG_3309

Over the past few years we have been kicking around the idea of holding a Modern Mopar versus Old School Mopar showdown at the LX & Beyond Nationals. Before the first LX-platform Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum or Chrysler 300 burned rubber on a drag strip the debate began whether or not the new kids on the block would be able to carry the Mopar Muscle torch into the next couple of decades. Nearly 6 years have passed and we have now seen a 2nd generation of the new Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 vehicle; and the birth of the new Dodge Challenger on the shortened LC-platform.

 As the flagship LX event on the east coast, the LX & Beyond Nationals decided that next season’s 5th year anniversary is the perfect time to show the Mopar world what 6-7 years of grassroots tuning, testing, blood, sweat and tears has created. Don’t let the low-key exteriors, large diameter wheels or retro-looking graphics fool you into thinking they did not come to take home nothing less than a win light. The debate is over, time to settle it on the dragstrip.

We will be reviewing rules and regulations for this racing class and posting the info on this website as well as many of your favorite forums in the upcoming months. We are looking for class sponsors immediately. The sooner we know your interest and commitment the sooner we can coordinate with you in getting the word out to everyone.

Join the discussion on rules/regulations. Stop over to LXForums.com

Preliminary Plans:

  • Pre-registration Required to participate
  • Limited number of entries.
  • 64 Car Field = 32 Modern + 32 Classics
    • Prize money at 16
    • Prize money at 8
    • Prize money at 4
    • Prize money at 2
    • Grand prize for winner

 

More details to be released very soon…

Up Next… 2012 LX & Beyond Nationals

The planning and information gathering process never stops at LX & Beyond. We have been working hard this summer since the close of the event to make next year’s event better than ever. Its amazing that its been over 4 years since the LX Nationals first began in that restaurant parking lot in Columbus, Ohio. Who could have guessed we would be celebrating a 5 year anniversary. Stay tuned to your favorite forums, social media and this website for the latest news.

We are looking forward to being apart of the Modern Street Hemi Shootout Series again for the 2012 racing season. By far the best and most well-organized racing for the Modern Mopar — Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Magnum, Chrysler 300 and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 — on the east coast. Do not be surprised to see additional stops added to this series for next year. If you own one of the LX & Beyond vehicles or want to see some modern Mopars go really fast keep an eye on this series! The 2011 MSHS Finale will be held at ATCO Raceway in New Jersey on November 4, 2011.

Some changes that we can share with you for 2012 LX & Beyond Nationals is that car show participation will be available as pre-registered only. Drive-ups the day of the event will not be permitted so that we can allocate proper space and resources for this portion of the event. Pre-registration will be available (and recommended) for racing and meet and greet participants as well. Remember that many activities are based on attendance, so let us know you’re coming! The A&W Restaurant that we have visited for the kick-off party cruise-in has been sold and will no longer remain a restaurant. Discussions are being held with new locations that are very excited to have us start our weekend at their business.

We are very much excited to see our sponsors return from this year and previous years and working closely with them to not only have their support but also see more in attendance. We have been listening to feedback and know that you want to be able to purchase stuff. There are also some other items in the works that we will share later….

Woodward Dream Cruise 2011: Detroit Loves Cars

Woodward Dream Cruise is the largest 1-day automotive event in the world, boasting around 1.5 million spectators and over 40,000 cars from around the globe. This was our first time visiting the “Mecca of All Car Cruises” in Royal Oak, Michigan just outside of Detroit. Spectators lined the streets of the over 12-mile route on Woodward Avenue, sometimes 3-5 people deep with lawn chairs and tents. There were cars and car clubs along the streets; and displays by Chrysler, Ford and GM and even some aftermarket companies. It’s a sensory overload that would make even the most well-composed auto enthusiast just sit back in amazement and say…wow.

 This is definitely one of those times that pictures and video do not do the event justice. There is so much going on and so much to do that you can not capture it all. You must experience it for yourself, but until you do here is some pictures and video that we captured. Enjoy!

Chrysler Brand Party and Tour of the Walter P. Chrysler Museum

We were honored to be part of the invite list for the exclusive LXForums member party held at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum during Woodward Dream Cruise Week. The Chrysler Brand took this opportunity to thank the forum that has been the most influential in promoting the LX-platform (and LC-platform) cars and culture since their introduction back in 2005.

There were over 100 vehicles and members in attendance from all over the midwest and eastcoast to include Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, New York and some even flew in from Florida. Chrysler executives were on-hand and stopped by throughout the evening. We also saw members of  DriveSRT.com, SRT engineers and Mopar at the event.

Attendees got a sneak peek a some new Chrysler 300 and Chrysler 200 models with unique interior and exterior options that have not been officially announced for the 2012 line-up. Also, Fatchance 2.0 and designer John Fortuno were “Imported From SoCal” to show off the latest upgrades to the custom 2011 Chrysler 300 project that started at the annual Spring Festival event in Irvine, California.
