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

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!
