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….

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! PERFORMANCE, HIGH HORSE PERFORMANCE, LEG MAKER INTAKES, DYNO TUNED PERFORMANCE, RPM ROLLBARS, MOE’S PERFORMANCE, MODERN MUSCLE PERFORMANCE, SUMMIT RACING EQUIPMENT, SPARKPLUGS.COM, MEGUIAR’S CAR CARE PRODUCTS, ROCK AUTO.COM, AFTERHOURS MOPAR PERFORMANCE, BIG AL, COLONEL AND HALF FAST PERFORMANCE.

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
