Anybody that will be racing for footballs we want to make sure that the track announcer knows and also the video crew so that they can get the competition on video, please let us know in advance.
Also, anybody have any "grudge-matches" that they would like to setup please let me know. It could be forum member vs. forum member, forum member vs. vendor, or vendor vs. vendor.
Last year PPP tried to get one going with another company but they could not make the trip from California. Let's see what we can do about getting some of these going for 2009.
6 months for competitors to prep their rides and even get some Early Spring tuning and runs in at the other track events prior to the 09 LX NATS. (Also 6 months to do some trash talkin' ) Just don't break your rides, please!!!
We had a lot of people last year that broke weeks and some only a few days before the 08 LX NATS.
I do want to emphasize that we want to please keep the "grudge-match" and "football" competition friendly.
Be a good sportsman, bring your "A" game and run what you brung.
Spread the word......we will start a list 2 months prior so that gives everyone about 4 months to PM, e-mail, call and challenge whomever. In addition, if you all want to see 2 vendor rides go head-to-head, you need to contact them and we will coordinate. I know there are some massive builds going on out there, so instead of you having to go to them why not have them come to you?
I've said it before and I will say it again, I don't know where he gets his inspiration from but everytime I see his work I'm amazed at his keen eye for details. Once again we asked the one and onlyHazman to exercise his talent on the event banner for this year.
So naturally my thought was when you put two #1's together its destined to be a knockout. The "Godfather of the Photoshop" - Hazman put his crayons to work on the 2008 Best of Show Charger owned by KRYPTONITE. Now I am very pleased to have the honor of unveiling the banner for the 2009 LX & BEYOND NATIONALS!!!

***Anybody that would like to add the banner to their signature to help get the word out you can either "right-click" the image and do a copy-paste, or hit the "QUOTE" tab underneath this post so you can see the computer language ([IMG].....[/IMG]) and copy it to your signature. Any problems, send me a PM. Thank you everyone for your support!!!
If you haven't heard already . . . . . . JULY is the new June.
So instead of saying is it June yet, everybody can start saying "IS IT JULY YET?"
SPONSORS
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.

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!!!
Anthony Carter & Chuck Green
LX & BEYOND NATIONALS
Founders
Just wanted to post up a quick reminder for everyone to keep an eye on post #1-6 for updates on the event. We will post updates within the thread, but if you happen to miss something and don't want to sift thru 2 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.
