2009 LX NATS-SUPPORTING SPONSORS - (Updated: 1/18/09)

BND AUTOMOTIVE------We are pleased to announce the first sponsor returning for the 2nd year in a row. Those of you that were lucky enough to win drag racing awards last year and the handful that won his product as door prizes will remember Brian Schubert. BND Automotive will be in attendance again at their vendor booth with product and answering your questions.

TRUE 2 FORM------We would like to welcome a new sponsor which was responsible for completing last year's extreme makeover car. They picked up the project and like their motto says, have finished it "the way it was made to be." Pictures coming soon!!!......

2009 LX NATS-SUPPORTING SPONSORS - (Updated: 2/6/09)

We are very happy to announce 2 more returning sponsors from last year that will be contributing some special goodies to be announced closer to event time (Valued at $300.00 and $150.00). Both of these companies are at the top of their game and hands-down there is nobody that can touch either of them on quality of work or attention to detail. I have been fortunate enough to purchase products from both of them and hopefully many of you have too. If you have never heard of them or seen their work yet then you need to check out their websites and some of the threads on these forums.

I can't tell you how thankful we are to have BILLET TECHNOLOGY and JINA'S EMBROIDERY onboard again as supporting sponsors. Maybe you will be lucky enough to win something from them at the 2009 LX & BEYOND NATIONALS!!!

Thank you BT and Jina's for your continued support and the masterpieces that you have created for all of us.

B-N-D AUTOMOTIVE------We are pleased to announce the first sponsor returning for the 2nd year in a row. Those of you that were lucky enough to win drag racing awards last year and the handful that won his product as door prizes will remember Brian Schubert. B-N-D will be in attendance again at their vendor booth with product and answering your questions.

True2Form------We would like to welcome a new sponsor which was responsible for completing last year's extreme makeover car. They picked up the project and like their motto says, have finished it "the way it was made to be." Pictures coming soon!!!......


CARSHOW

We are very happy to announce that this year we have teamed up with THE F4 CHALLENGE judging organization which will be the official sanctioning body for this year's carshow. We had a long conversation with the group's founder and one of the many reasons we chose them was because they focus on quality over quantity. Whether your ride is lightly modified or extreme, make sure you bring your "A" game this year. Learn more about them at: The F4 CHALLENGE. More details to follow......

The show field will be on grass this year, so that means no sitting in the sun and baking your asphalt on the concrete. Bring your tent or pop-up, shine up your ride and be prepared to sit back and enjoy some warm Midwest sunshine and a fun-filled weekend with fellow Modern Mopar Muscle enthusiasts. ALL LX and LC attendees that are not racing will be eligible and judged for awards/trophies in the car show this year. (No, this is not a misprint, I said ALL LX and LC attendees that are not racing will be in the carshow). More details to follow......


HOTEL

HQ Hotel: The Holiday Inn - South Youngstown: All 158 rooms (S/D) until February 28th at the rate of $119.99/per night. Any rooms already booked will be adjusted to reflect the discounted rate. March 1, 2009 - June 15, 2009 the rate will increase to $129.99/per night. Don't wait until the last minute to book these rooms, nearly half of them are already gone.

Secondary Hotel: We have not forgotten about this and working on it. There is still plenty of time, stay tuned......


T-SHIRT

We are looking for a modified Chrysler 300/300C and Dodge Challenger owner that is planning to attend this year and would like to have their vehicle on the Official 2009 Event Shirt. Send turbobuckeye (Anthony) a PM or e-mail for details.


This year we're going to try something a little different and on the 18th of each month we'll hit you with updates on the event. That way everybody knows when to expect to see more info. If you have questions/concerns not answered you know you should see some feedback by the 18th. Some announcements may be too BIG to wait for the 18th, so we might update sooner. Either way keep an eye on the thread. There is a LOT of work going on behind the scenes!

Enjoy the Holiday Weekend!!!

Just wanted to post up a quick reminder for everyone to keep an eye on post #1-6 for updates on the main thread. We will post updates within the thread, but if you happen to miss something and don't want to sift thru 46 pages of conversation then that is the best and quickest way to find what you are looking for. Most of the underlined titles or words are links which will take you to additional info as well. Check them out.

Additionally, anybody that starts a caravan thread please let me know so that I can add it to post #2 and help you round up more people for your caravan group. If you don't see a caravan started for the area you will be departing one then start a thread and you'll have a caravan before you know it.

HOTEL ROOMS - The Holiday Inn - South Youngstown: All 158 rooms (S/D) until February 28th at the rate of $119.99/per night. Any rooms already booked will be adjusted to reflect the discounted rate.

Tentative schedule has been posted. Check it out!

2009 EVENT SCHEDULE

This is not final yet, but we wanted to give everyone an idea of how the schedule is shaping up and also some of the caravan coordinators have been asking so they know when to get here and when they can plan on heading home.

Is it July yet?

 

For those of you that don't know. I asked Chuck to help me with the LX NATS not only because he was an LX and Mopar enthusiast but he also had very successfully organized and run racing events for many years long before the LX-platform was born.

You'll never catch him tooting his own horn so I'm gonna do a little bit for him and lay out a little history on one of the co-founders of the LX NATS. Known to many, he was the person that originally started the NMCA-National Muscle Car Association (1985-1991). During this time as a drag racing enthusiast, promoter, mentor and friend to many he promoted events which were covered in 32 magazines; 17 which were front covers.

Do a google/internet search for "Chuck Green", "Car Craft Magazine", "Super Showdown" and you will see what I'm talking about. Chuck has been around drag racing a long time and continues to help new and upcoming enthusiasts get even better. If you have never drag raced before or just want to pick his brain about how to improve your times I'm sure he would be happy to help anyway he can.

See ya'll in JULY!!!

 

TIME FOR THE 18TH UPDATE:

T-SHIRT:
We are planning to do an official event t-shirt again this year. As we have always done in the past, ONLY forum members/vendors that are planning to attend the event will be eligible to submit pictures to be featured on this year's shirt. Both vendors and forum members are eligible to submit images for entry. We have already selected the Magnum and Charger owners to be featured this year, but we are still looking for entries for a modified Chrysler 300/300C and Dodge Challenger. If you are interested, please PM or e-mail turbobuckeye (Anthony) for details.

GATE FEES:

$100.00 - Racing (Car/Driver) / $60.00 - Car Show (Car/Driver) - - - - - for entire weekend

$10.00 (Per Day) - spectators, passengers and children 13 and over.

We understand the sensitive environment of the economy and for this reason we are NOT taking any registration fees up-front this year from racing and carshow participants. Everyone planning to enter the carshow or racing competitions will pay their entry fees at the gate this year. Chuck and I discussed this prior to the announcement of the 09 event and we are very much looking forward to seeing everyone this year but also did not want to add to any hardships you may be addressing during the early months of 2009. Hopefully, this will allow everyone to plan and save up for the event but also take care of other financial responsibilities that need your attention, as well as complete some knock-out modifications before the event!!!

Thanks everyone for all the support, bumping those threads, getting those caravans organized and making this THE BEST LX & BEYOND NATIONALS event yet!!! If you don't see me posting up a lot its because I'm working hard to get details locked down for YOUR event. I don't take the LX community support lightly and appreciate that you all are coming to my home state of OHIO to meet new friends and old friends and have some FUN. Without all of you and your support the event is nothing.

Vendors sitting on the fence or waiting to the last minute.....time is running out. We have got to lock down many details that simply can not wait until the last minute. You know I love all ya'll and you know everybody wants to see you (we want to see you) so let's get moving and start locking down plans to get here on JULY 18-19. Make no mistake folks, ONLY the #1 vendors for the LX and SRT community will be here in 2009. Less than 3 months ago.

This is the largest LX-platform event left of the season. Don't be caught sitting at home wishing you were here.

Already 194 people on the registration list that are gonna say, "I told you so."

See ya'll in JULY!!!

Justin and the folks from ADVANCED AUTOMOTIVE CONCEPTS supported this event 2 years ago during its start-up when it was just a 1-day event called the Central Ohio LX Spring Meet & Greet. Again, without hesitation they stepped up and supported us last year as it expanded to a full-weekend event. We are very happy to have them back again for the 3rd year in a row as an official sponsor for the 2009 LX & BEYOND NATIONALS.

ADVANCED AUTOMOTIVE CONCEPTS is well known to the "LX Community" for bringing the innovative "halo-lights" to the lx-platform Dodge/Chrysler vehicles. Their list of lighting solutions to accent your ride and make it stand apart from the crowd include headlights, tailights, fogs, interior lighting and many more. ADVANCED AUTOMOTIVE CONCEPTS has been named the "OFFICIAL LIGHTING PRODUCT" of the 2009 LX & BEYOND NATIONALS.

They will be providing some very cool prizes for carshow participants.
