Founded in 2008, and based in Ohio, the LX & Beyond Nationals is the ONLY drag racing, car show and entertainment event in the United States completely dedicated to the Modern MOPAR Muscle and Performance vehicles. A grassroots event that began in Spring '07, as a meet-and-greet in a restaurant parking lot in Columbus, OH. This annual event hosts hundreds of die-hard enthusiasts and aftermarket manufacturers from California to New York, from Canada and everywhere else in-between. Enthusiasts interested in showing off their cars, testing its performance limits on the 1320 and learning what is new and available in the aftermarket attend this event every year. The event is open to the public and dedicated to the continued growth of the car hobby.

LXBN7 True Street Class: Rules and Prize Purse We are pleased to announce that in 2014 in addition to the Modern Street Hemi Shootout Series we will be hosting one of the most popular drag racing classes in the country, an LXBN True Street Class. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran racer, with a bone stock or heavily modified car this is an event that nearly every LXBN participant can enjoy. You will be racing for consistency without going over ET. This race class is for true street cars which are registered, licensed and insured street vehicles and able to drive over a 30-mile distance, then return to the race venue for a cool-down and make 3 quarter-mile passes down the drag strip. All model years and engines types and power adders permitted. MUST BE CHRYSLER BODY AND POWERED. This is a Mopar event so there will be NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule. Class is designed for stock-chassis vehicles running true 10.5-inch wide tires. RACING SLICKS PROHIBITED There will be trophies and awards for not only the “King of True Street” (quickest average), and runner up but also for the following: closest averaged ET that is not quicker than the following: 9.00, 10.00, 11.00, 12.00, 13.00, 14.00, and 15.00. LXBN True Street Class Purse: $250 – Quickest Average + 6' Trophy $100 – 2nd Quickest Average $100 – 9.00 Average $100 – 10.00 Average $100 – 11.00 Average $100 – 12.00 Average $100 – 13.00 Average $100 – 14.00 Average $100 – 15.00 Average Cruise is mandatory in the time allotted for competition. Any vehicle unable to complete the road tour under its own power, within the allotted time, will be disqualified from racing. After the vehicles return from the road tour, they will return directly to the designated staging lanes for a cool-down period. They may not change tires. The cool-down period will typically last between 15-45 minutes. During this cool down period only, entrants may adjust tire pressure (add or remove tire pressure), install fresh nitrous bottles, install ice in their intercooler, (only if located in trunk, rear hatch or rear seat area). A VERY STRICT CLOSED HOOD POLICY WILL BE IN EFFECT UNTIL A COMPETITOR HAS COMPLETED HIS OR HER THREE BACK TO BACK PASSES. Engines must remain turned off during entire cool-down period. External cooling of engine by any means (cold water, outdoor fans, etc.) prohibited. Any engine changes, repairs, or adjustments (changing rocker arms, carburetor adjustments, etc.) prohibited. Changing of tires prohibited. Tire pressure may be checked in the staging lanes, or between rounds, and may be lowered. Air may not be added to tires any time during the back-to-back passes after the first pass down the quarter-mile and fresh nitrous bottles, fuel, and ice may not be installed/replenished. All vehicles are required to make three full passes in order to be included in the final average ET tally. All vehicles must run three passes in the same order as the first pass. After passes are completed, each racer’s ET’s will be added together and divided by 3. http://lxandbeyondnats.com/blog/2014-brings-new-racing-class-for-true-street-racers/

2014 SEASON RULES General Rules and Procedures: 1. Qualifying: All Race Cars competing in the heads up classes must make a minimum of one qualifying run during race day in order to compete in the elimination rounds. If a racer fails to make a complete run down the track, but does break the start beam, they will qualify in the last position for the class. It will be the track and managing MSHS staff’s discretion as to the number of qualifying runs on race day. 2. Tree Type: ALL classes will qualify and compete on a .500 PRO TREE 3. Elimination Rounds: Pairing will be based on a Pro Ladder. Heads-up classes will be laddered beginning with round one of eliminations. Qualifying slot will be based on ET for all heads-up classes. Identical ET will be laddered based on MPH. All cars that qualify below the Indexed ET are placed at the bottom of the ladder; larger breakout at the bottom. The INDEX Bracket class will begin eliminations based on how racers proceed to and line up in staging lanes. Once the INDEX class is down to 16 or less cars, the field of cars will be paired based on a PRO Ladder. Pairing will be based on reaction times during the previous round of eliminations. 4. Lane choice: Heads-up first round lane choice goes to the higher qualifier in the pairing. Round two and subsequent rounds, lane choice goes to the car with the quicker ET. INDEX Bracket lane choice will be based on reaction times during the previous round of eliminations and should be discussed by the paired racers. 5. Staging: Courtesy staging will be in effect during all qualifying and elimination rounds. If a driver inadvertently lights both Pre-Stage and Stage bulbs, they will be backed out and restaged. Deep staging is discouraged and disqualifies a racer from any and all best reaction time awards. 6. Break Downs: If a racer’s car is NOT capable of moving forward in the competition rounds, they must notify MSHS or track staff timely so that there are no racing delays. Should a vehicle break down on the track, move over immediately towards the outside of the lane to prevent track delays. 7. Safety Rules: NHRA safety rules are in affect at all events and it is up to the track personnel to handle all safety rule infractions and or complaints. Track rules must be adhered to by all racers.** 8. Cheating – Non-compliance to the MSHS rules will not be tolerated and will earn a disqualification from ALL competition. Disqualification does not entitle a racer to a refund of any entry fees.** 9. Break Out – Any vehicle running quicker than the Index ET reference in a class is a break out loss. 10. Safe Racing - All racers should run their car at its full capabilities. Unsafe driving techniques such as hard braking at the top end to avoid a break out will be reviewed and can result in disqualification at the discretion of track officials and/or MSHS staff. 11.

I would like to thank everyone that made it out to 2013 LX & Beyond Nationals this year and braved the rain and thunderstorm forecasts that surrounded the weekend. We were watching the updates just like everyone else and thankfully Mother Nature only succeeded in delaying but not cancelling the event this year. The annual car show portion of the show was held only a few hours later than scheduled but we still saw some amazing rides and dedicated owners that refused to be deterred by a little rain. My hat off to all of you, thank you for believing in us. Every vehicle was spotless despite the early morning rain storm. Thank you to the staff at Hampton Inn Ashtabula for enduring an unplanned car show that caused a normally quiet Saturday morning to suddenly be filled with music and a parking lot full of cars and people. I would like to thank the dedicated racers and the entire staff of the Modern Street Hemi Shootout Series. The rain on Friday and Saturday morning made the track and many of the roads leading to the track unusable after enduring more than 6 inches of rain. Even once the rain stopped on Saturday morning the clean-up and track prep time required to get everything up to par would have put the racing activities too late in the day for a racing group that had been awake since the early morning hours. After some meeting of the minds and talking with the owner of the track, Jim Curtis, we were able to secure space for the Modern Street Hemi Shootout to happen on Sunday. I would like to personally thank Guy Dalton for his dedication. Also, thank you to Stell Savarino and Daniel Van Horn for their dedication to stay a day later and the planning to make the racing happen in an unplanned environment. All morning and all day on Sunday these guys were in the tower making what seemed like an easy day go so smoothly, and still had time to get in their cars and race alongside you all day. Wow! The LX (and Modern Mopar) family inspires me and energizes me. It is the reason that I do what I do every year to bring the family together once a year every summer in Ohio. This year reinforced that feeling and I am truly grateful for each of you believing in me. I do not take lightly the time invested in getting your cars ready, vacation time used or the driving time/distance to get here each year. The cars are what bring us together but this year proved that the people are the reason why we come together every year. For those of you that were unable to make it out due to the weather you missed out on an event that will truly go down in LX & Beyond Nationals history as the most unbelievable story out of the 6 years I have been doing this. I was there and at the moment I am writing this I still cannot believe it. Thank you to Chrysler Head of Design, Mark Trostle and DriveSRT.com (Adam Barrera) for making the trip out this year. Thank you to Mike Doban for putting in an iron man’s day at the TI Dyno for everyone on Friday. Thank you to all of our sponsors that continue to allow us to do what we do each year. We look forward to seeing everyone next year, July 19, 2014 at Thompson Raceway Park in Thompson, Ohio! Sincerely, Anthony Carter LX & Beyond Nationals, Founder p.s. Be sure you make it out to the remaining Modern Street Hemi Shootout Series events this summer.

Rain Delayed – 2013 LX & BEYOND NATIONALS Unfortunately due to the weather overnight as well as the remaining forecast today the 6th Annual LX & Beyond Nationals has been REVISED. Many of the roads leading to the track are flooded or have standing water and the same is the case at Thompson Raceway Park. We are as disappointed as you are that the weather is not favorable for the event and appreciate everyone that made the trip out to Thompson, Ohio this year. LXBN6 Car Show will still be held TODAY, 12noon to 5pm at the Official Host Hotel parking lot, Hampton Inn Ashtabula, 2900 GH Drive, Austinburg, OH 44010. Dry those tears (and your cars) and see you at the host hotel parking lot. Mark Trostle is on his way and DriveSRT.com is here too. See everyone soon!!! For those of you able to stick around overnight, Jim Curtis, owner of Thompson Raceway Park has offered to allow the Modern Street Hemi Shootout Series participants to race tomorrow (SUNDAY, 7/21). Gates open at 9a, and it is $20 for a tech card. Stay tuned for additional details either online or at the track on Sunday. ***CAR SHOW WILL NOT BE HELD ON SUNDAY, 7/21***

Mark Trostle, Chrysler’s Head of Design for SRT, Mopar and Motorsports will be in attendance. He will be hosting a design walk-around of some unique vehicles.
