As Rob Schneider from "SNL" use to say, "WE CAN DO THIS"!
I think this would be a great 1 or 2 day GTG for many of us Crossfire owners who live in the Ohio, Penn, W.Virginia, Western N.Y. Kentucky, Mich. and Indiana area.
You wouldn't have to race if ya didn't want to, and just "show" and shine your car.
It might be a lot of fun, and the "Original" Quaker Steak and Lube restaurant isn't that far away either.

Thanks Mike! Are you planning to race that day?

Indeed! As they say: it is "in beautiful downtown Sharon!"

I'd be happy to offer tours (unless I'm still in the running for a racing trophy!)

Also, anyone that is attending, feel free to PM me for hotel tips or other questions about the area. I work about 5 miles from the track.

Oh hell ya.
I may get whooped on by some Turbo Neons and PT's, but I want to kick some "stock" Prowler tail if I get a chance.
I heard some of them dissing Crossfires at Woodward last summer. Somethin about nothing but a rental car.

Exclamation Sponsor Announcement: Friday, March 27, 2009

SPONSOR ANNOUNCEMENT - Friday, March 27, 2009

We would like to welcome RDP MOTORSPORT as an official sponsor of the 2009 LX & BEYOND NATIONALS. RDP Motorsport - Home of the World's Fastest Cars owned by Steve Leerentveld (Dynosteve) recently opened a new performance shop in Northeast Ohio. You name it, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep they handle it all. They also completed the nitrous installation on last year's Extreme Makeover vehicle owned by 4DEATER!

Those of you that were able to attend last year will remember Dynosteve was in attendance and racing one of the 1st production Dodge Challengers in the United States. Also he lined up against the 1970 Challenger which made it into an issue of Mopar Action Magazine.

DSCN0305.jpg
MoparActionDecember2008IssuePage66.jpg
Dynosteve has been very busy since we saw him at last year's event. He has pushed the envelope and the imagination of Challenger owners and enthusiasts around the globe by creating one of the first-known twin-turbo powered Dodge Challengers. We are excited to have RDP MOTORSPORT and Dynosteve on board this year and look forward to what surprises he will have up his sleeve for the 2009 LX NATS.


Thank you to everyone behind the scenes helping to make this happen your efforts are very much appreciated.

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!!!

Exclamation Sponsor Announcement: Tuesday, May 5, 2009

SPONSOR ANNOUNCEMENT – Tuesday, May 5, 2009

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.
