WHAT IS THE LX & BEYOND NATIONALS?

Founded in 2008, and based in Ohio, the LX & Beyond Nationals is the ONLY drag racing, car show and entertainment event in the United States completely dedicated to the Modern MOPAR Muscle and Performance vehicles. A grassroots event that began in Spring '07, as a meet-and-greet in a restaurant parking lot in Columbus, OH.

This annual event hosts hundreds of die-hard enthusiasts and aftermarket manufacturers from California to New York, from Canada and everywhere else in-between. Enthusiasts interested in showing off their cars, testing its performance limits on the 1320 and learning what is new and available in the aftermarket attend this event every year. The event is open to the public and dedicated to the continued growth of the car hobby. If you own an LX/LC/LD-platform or any SRT performance vehicle (or in the market to purchase one) this is an event you want to attend and see what the cars and the culture associated with owning one is all about.

Well, damn. I am going to Carlisle PA with both my cars this weekend. I will have to see how my week goes. I guess if I can get a hotel room at the last minute, I would love to attend. Just won't know until a few days before. I would bring at least the coupe to play. We shall see...

 

Would love to see ya there! The Crossfire is under-represented in general at Modern Mopar events.

Especially ones that are willing to hit the drag strip.

 

We would certainly want to do that....we will try....hopefully Carlisle trip is uneventful for our trip...
