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….

Good way to get caught up from the past 4 years and get you ready for the 2012 LX & Beyond Nationals anniversary party next year!!!

This is the Official and Only DVD of the Summer event which has hosted a 50+ award carshow, 4 heads-up racing, and 3 bracket racing classes showcasing the Modern Mopar Muscle vehicles based on the Chrysler LX/LC/LD-platform Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300/300C, Dodge Magnum and the full family of SRT vehicles, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT.

If you were unable to attend or just to busy to get around and experience the entire event this DVD will take you through the entire experience. You arrive at A&W Restaurant in Boardman, Ohio for the official kick-off party and cruise-in; then, you head to Quaker City Motorsports Park in Salem, Ohio the next 2 days to do everything from watching the Modern Street Hemi Shootout Series drag racing qualifications, check out the vehicles in the car show, and so much more. You want this in your Mopar DVD collection.
