Don't get caught sitting at home wishing you had made plans to attend. If your favorite forum member or vendor is not on the guest list, spread the word, tell them to get registered and make plans to be in Columbus on June 14-15!!!

The Caravans
The LX is a head-turner all by itself, imagine the scene you'll be making as you and your fellow LX owners roll down the highway and into Columbus 10... 20... 30 cars deep!!! Its much more fun to ride out to an event with a group of folks rather than make the trip alone. If you are organizing a caravan to the LX & Beyond Nationals, please let us know so we can add your caravan to the list.

Caravan 1: > Cincinnati to Columbus, OH
Caravan 2: > Kansas City to Columbus, OH
Caravan 3: > Michigan to Columbus, OH

[Steve Dunn]

Hello
This is Chaplain Steve Dunn with Racers for Christ. We will be holding the chapel service on Sunday morning. Would anyone with children be interested in my wife holding a kids church during the adult chapel service? Please give me a call @ (614)208-6409 ASAP so she can be prepared. Thanks, Steve

[turbobuckeye]

Welcome to Coolumbus to those of you that made it into town tonight.

Those of you getting on the roads tonight and in the morning please be safe driving in and take your time. Columbus is in good shape but a lot of surrounding areas got soaked pretty bad and some even flooded.

Been trying to check in on the threads as much as possible as well as getting final details wrapped up. I have had my share of Friday the 13th issues too, but reading about everyone else's ordeals I don't feel so bad. Sorry to hear about those of you that have had fatal car issues and will not be able to make it.

Bad News: Weather is probably gonna be fairly rainy and bad on Friday.

Good News: It rained much earlier than forecasted and the cell is moving at a good pace which means the forecast has improved a lot for Saturday and Sunday.

If you don't get an immediate response to your PM or e-mail to myself or Chuck its not that we are ignoring you we are probably getting things ready at the HQ Hotel. Looking forward to a good LX weekend, Let's get this d@mn thing rolling already . . . . HECK YEAH IT'S JUNE!!!!

Look forward to seeing everyone!!!


p.s. Those that arrive early we could use help in the reception room setting up the goodies bags, also Chuck will probably have some other items he will need help with.

[turbobuckeye]

Twas the night before the LX Nationals, when all thru the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The micro fiber cloths folded neatly with care,
Looking forward to good times we’ll all get to share;

The clay bars and Zaino tucked away in the shed,
While visions of LX’s dance in my head;
I, in the garage and my better half in the bed,
Trying last minute mods on the forums I just read.

When out in the street there arose such a roar,
The exhaust was so loud I fell to the floor;
As the tire smoke cleared I hollered ......more!! more!!
There sat an LX with not two doors but four.

It said HEMI on the fender and Dodge on the back,
The exterior was TorRed, on second thought it was Brilliant Black;
A man hoped out with a smile on his face, Predator in his hand,
I thought for sure he wanted to race.

I’m looking for the LX Nats do you know of the event?
I said yeah, I haven't slept since the first forum thread was sent.
You got nav in that beast? No need to be there before seven,
Nah, I ditched it months ago, gained a tenth, now in elevens.

I gave him directions, and watched his tires spin at the light,
Happy LX & Beyond Nats to all, and to all a good-night!!!

Anthony,

Great event! We had a blast with our '08 Challenger tearing up the track. We only had time to get it retuned and install a torque converter before the event but even running mostly stock, there wasn't many cars we ran against that could keep up. We're very happy with our 13.02s best ET in the heat. By next weekend we'll be a second and a half faster as we're just getting ready to start the teardown this week.

Wow, what a weekend for the LX community!!!

We want to thank each and every one of you for coming to Columbus, Ohio and making the 1ST ANNUAL LX & BEYOND NATIONALS event a success. It was a pleasure to finally get to put so many forum names and cars with the faces of the people behind them. This event was all about the people and Chuck and I want to thank all of YOU for taking a chance, coming out to Columbus and believing in us. Mother nature put some obstacles in our way but the determination and heart of the LX community prevailed. We sincerely hope that everyone has added some good memories and built upon some friendships that will last for many years to come. Thank you for letting us be apart of that.

Please join me in thanking all of the MANY Forums owners and administrators for allowing us to post the event and help us to bring together so many LX owners and enthusiasts from across the country. There are far too many to list, but if you are reading this post then this is one of the many that helped spread the word to all of you. Thank you!!!

Absolutely, without a doubt we would like to thank all of the sponsors for helping the idea of the LX & BEYOND NATIONALS become a reality. Some of them were able to attend in person and some where not, but let us make it known that without them this event would not have been possible. Hopefully, everyone was able to pickup some goodies and meet the vendors in-person that were there and thank them for their support of the event and LX community. If not, please send them a PM, e-mail or letter and thank them for their support. They deserve it and should be recognized for their support. Thank you!!!

Next, we want to thank the CASUAL CRUISERS CAR CLUB that helped to keep everything running smoothly and were our eyes and ears throughout the day. These ladies and gentlemen helped out more than most of you will ever know and were invaluable to making the daily activities go as well as they did. Hats off to Gail (President), Dave (VP), and the rest of the group. It was our privilege and pleasure working with all of you. Thank you!!!

Last, but not least we would like to thank all the forum members and volunteers that stepped up to help out as well: Jim (4DOORZ06), Beth (Mrs. "CHERRY"), Sam (OMSRT8), Alice (Challenger Lover), Tim (GoofyTimL), Hank (B&G Banana), Ron (Rodie), Golden (Grey1), Chris (ChargerChick), Duncan (TTMR), Chris (KRYPTONITE), Nick (wickedchargerrt), Dana (DanaM) and many others. My head is still spinning from the weekend, so if I forgot to mention anyone please don't be mad at me, its not intentional.

Don't forget that there will be a DVD of the entire weekend Friday thru Sunday, that also includes the behind-the-scenes footage of the Makeover. (Details to follow) Thanks to those of you that stepped up and supported the camera crew with the additional footage that was missed on Friday and throughout the weekend. The event was so big that it proved to be a challenge even for a 4-man camera crew to cover!!!

We will be taking a few weeks to relax, evaluate the weekend and gather some thoughts. Anybody that has any suggestions, or critiques (good or bad) please let us know via PM or e-mail.

Congrats again to Brad (4DEATER) and Nick (wickedchargerrt)!!!

Take care and look forward to seeing all of you for the 2ND ANNUAL LX & BEYOND NATIONALS.

Sincerely,

Anthony Carter & Chuck Green
