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.

SRT High Performance Tour Rides Into The Buckeye State

Aug 13. Mopar Nationals, Columbus, Ohio – Stop #1

The SRT Tour rolled into the Buckeye State on Saturday morning straight from the Detroit Kickoff Party at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum and made their first of many stops at the Mopar Nationals in Columbus, Ohio.

The stop in Columbus gave old-school, new-school and future Mopar enthusiasts from across the country the opportunity to see the full 2012 SRT Lineup in-person and why there is so much excitement surrounding what is going on with the SRT Brand. The SRT Tour Team stayed busy throughout the day answering questions and doing demonstrations of the features and improvements the SRT Brand vehicles have over their more tame Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep counter-parts.

We got a chance to talk with the SRT Tour Team and there was no doubting that John, Laura, Danny and Barbara were excited about the vehicles, the road ahead and meeting all of the enthusiasts and clubs that have fueled the buzz about these vehicles.

Thank you LX & Beyond and Modern Mopar Community!

We wanted to say thank you to everyone that made the trip out to Quaker City Motorsports Park in Salem, Ohio this year for the 2011 LX & Beyond Nationals and making it a good weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone next year as the event celebrates its 5th year anniversary!!!

There are many people to thank this year, first starting off with our sponsors because the event simply could not happen without them: PARAMOUNT PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, SHOPHEMI.COM, TWIN TURBO CREATIONS, MR. NORM’S GARAGE, OST DYNO, BFNY PERFORMANCE, BILLET TECHNOLOGY, ADVANCED AUTOMOTIVE CONCEPTS, DIABLOSPORT, CORSA PERFORMANCE EXHAUST, FIXER MOTORSPORTS, BORLA EXHAUST, DYNAMIC GROUNDING SYSTEMS, SPEED RATED MOTORSPORTS, JINA’S EMBROIDERY, LEWIS PERFORMANCE MACHINE, NITROUS OUTLET, CRANK THIS!

I would like to personally thank the entire MODERN STREET HEMI SHOOTOUT SERIES Team (Wendy Robertson, Stell Savarino, Dan Van Horn) for all of their hard work putting together the racing portion of the LX&B this year as well as the work they did this season at ALL series locations. These folks stepped up for the ENTIRE LX-community and put together the BEST LX/LC/JeepSRT-focused racing series that LX&B or anybody else has ever seen. If you liked the racing experience this year, then sound off and let them know. These individuals are the ones to thank for the quality racing and racing locations. I hope we are able to partner together again and have them back next year. Do not miss the finale of the Modern Street Hemi Shootout Series this fall at Atco Raceway.

Next, I would like to thank all our veteran team members that are too numerous to name one-by-one: WHATSNEWSNX DIGITAL, F4 CHALLENGE, CENTRAL OHIO LX CLUB and BUCKEYE LX CLUB. These folks do all the behind the scenes stuff that you don’t see and some of the random weekend stuff you do see. Plain and simple, these guys and gals make my job easier and allow me to do more.

Last but definitely not least, I would like to thank the entire SRT Team and Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/Ram Trucks; the Engineers, DriveSRT.com and RedlineDodge.com for their support of the event. It is truly a privilege to have the opportunity to meet, work with and additional support of these groups. If you didn’t make it out here this year you missed a very unique opportunity.

Next year will be the 5th Anniversary of the LX & Beyond Nationals (can you believe it?) so you know that we are planning something BIG. Normally this is where we say that we will use the remainder of the month to wrap up details for this year, and then take August off to recuperate and get back to planning on September 1st. Not this time, the wrap-up is underway and the planning has already begun for next year so go ahead and circle your calendars for July 21-22, 2012, the countdown begins NOW.

Sincerely,

Anthony Carter
LX & Beyond Nationals
President and Founder

This past weekend, hundreds of late-model musclecar fanatics rolled into Quaker City Motorsports Park for the annual LX & Beyond Nationals. The action was hot as many competitors stepped up their game over during the off-season and found more power in their GEN III ® engine combinations.  Our friends over at brought down a 2012 8 (along with its Chrysler and Jeep 8 cousins) for all of us to drool over. At night, the participants and some of the Engineers hung out in the parking lot of the host hotel for some casual tech talks and bench racing. If you missed this year’s event, fear not, Redline Dodge captured all the action so check out the RLD photo gallery along with the LX & Beyond Facebook photo album link below!

What do you call the largest gathering of modern Dodge and musclecars in the Midwest? The annual LX & Beyond Nationals, that’s what. This weekend, hundreds of these late-model cruisers, street machines and racers will descend on Quaker City Motorsports Park located just outside the sleeping hamlet of Salem, Ohio for a weekend of high-octane . LX and LC enthusiasts from all over will bring their rides for some quarter-mile blasts down the track. Event organizer and LX fanatic, Anthony Carter, started this annual pilgrimage back in 2007 as an effort to reach out and network with other enthusiasts looking to make their modern Chargers, Challengers, Magnums (along with Chrysler 300’s and Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8s) go faster and look hotter.  Initially a grassroots effort, it began life as a one-day gathering of internet forum members for the LX-platform and SRT enthusiasts. Like all great things, the event began to get more traction every year. With the introduction of the in 2008, things really shifted into high-gear. Soon enthusiasts from all over the US and Canada began attending the event. Along with drag racing, there is a “Show & Shine” competition, manufacturer’s midway, swap meet and other special events throughout the weekend.  The 2011 LX & Beyond Nationals will officially kick-off tomorrow night (July 15th) with their traditional Friday night A&W “Cruise-In” Boardman, Ohio . So if you’re looking to race your late-model Challenger or , or just want to see all the latest go fast goodies and personalization accessories to dress up your ride, set your NAV unit and step on it!
