We have already picked out a name for the Event and our Company's name as well. I have some ideas for the Drag Race Portion of the Event, as it stands now, there will be 4 Classes of Eliminations. One will be a QUICK 16 on a qualified ladder, and I know there will be 3 Classes of Bracket Racing one being a V6 only Class. I am still working on the other two as to how I will break them down.
More to come soon.

It just keeps getting better and better!
UPDATE: Guess who's coming to the party?
Even though they have the same 6.1L engine as the LX platform SRT, I don't believe they can keep up with LX's so I threw down the gauntlet to see if anybody was willing to accept the challenge.
The response was as follows: "I'm your Huckleberry."
I whole lot of Jeep SRT owners are stepping up from all over the place. Should be interesting to finally see the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 run side-by-side with the LX's.

Update!!!
First, I want to thank everyone for the TREMENDOUS feedback and excitement surrounding the event. Your enthusiasm and ideas is what's driving us to make this THE LX EVENT of the year, PLEASE KEEP THE IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS COMING!!! Without each and every one of you the event could not happen.
I can't let all the cats out of the bag, but you don't want to miss out on this one. Even if its only for 1 of the 2 days you will definitely want to be in Columbus in June. As Chuck has mentioned we are positively turning the fire up on this event. Many vendors have committed to supporting the event (some I can not list due to not forum vendors) and we are very happy that they too are as excited as we are about the event. If you don't see your favorite vendor or forum member on the guest list, send them the link to this thread and tell them they need to get to Columbus in June.
Due to the support of the forum vendors and the HUGE response from the many, many members of various LX forums we are going to exceed the space allotment at Quaker Steak & Lube restaurant and officially announcing that we are going to hold BOTH days of the 2008 LX & Beyond Nationals at National Trail Raceway!!! This will give those of you planning to compete in the drag races more time on the track and those attending for the carshow and meet & greet more space to comfortably spread out.
No changes to the hotels, they are only about 30 minutes from the track and as mentioned before you should be pleased with the Polaris area and hotel accommodations. With the addition of the 2nd day at the track we need to tweak the schedule a bit but will be releasing the schedule and entry fees very soon. The gate at the track will very likely open at 8am on Saturday, June 14.
Stay tuned to post #1-2-3 for updates!!!
Anthony
Is it June yet?
