The economy has had a major downturn since last year’s LX & Beyond Nationals happened. This was a huge concern of ours before setting up this year’s event. As some of you may not be aware our title sponsor FREDERICK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE was on the list of dealerships to lose their rights to sell new Chrysler Jeep Dodge vehicles. Nobody could have predicted something like this would happen to any dealership but we want to personally say thank you to Mr. Bob Frederick Jr. for his support of this year’s LX & Beyond Nationals. We sincerely wish him, the employees of Frederick Chrysler Jeep Dodge and the community of Boardman, Ohio the best in the future. Thank you for giving so much back to an automotive culture and hobby that we are all a part of.
The LX & Beyond Nationals has been and will always be about gathering as a family, reuniting with old friends and making some new ones, sharing ideas and experiences and having a whole lot of FUN!!!
Due to the downturn of the economy we will not be awarding an Extreme LX Makeover this year. Thank you to everyone that inquired about it and we hope that sometime in the future we will be able to do it again.
We want to let all of you know that thanks to ALL of our very generous sponsors/supporters that have rallied behind the event we will be giving away over $50,000.00 in prizes this year at the 2009 LX & BEYOND NATIONALS!!!
This may have gotten overlooked in prior posts so we want to re-address it today because its something that is very important to us. Ssulin Anne is planning to ride 180-miles in 2 days in the 2009 PELOTONIA BIKE TOUR in August to help raise $2000 for Cancer Research. The LX & Beyond Nationals will be helping them raise that money. Ssulin Anne and “Team Hot Wheels” and some of their volunteers will have a booth setup at this year’s event, also we are asking for some items from our sponsors to be raffled off to support them in their efforts to raise money for cancer research. You may also make donations via the Team Hot Wheels website. Every dollar raised by Pelotonia and its riders will go directly to fund cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.
