WHAT IS THE LX & BEYOND NATIONALS? 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. If you own an LX/LC/LD-platform or any SRT performance vehicle (or in the market to purchase one) this is an event you want to attend and see what the cars and the culture associated with owning one is all about.

This year's version of the road tour is bigger and better featuring 16 Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram Truck, SRT, and FIAT brand vehicles, including the all-new 2013 Dodge Dart compact car, the Fiat 500 Abarth, and the Chrysler 300 Luxury Series, the most luxurious and fuel-efficient Chrysler flagship sedan ever. Called the "Chrysler Affiliate Rewards/Employee Advantage Road Tour," this mobile marketing event is designed for thousands of employees who work for Chrysler Group, affiliated companies like Case New Holland, and suppliers like Republic Steel, in Canton, Ohio; Federal Mogul Corp., in Southfield, Mich., and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan in Detroit. "This extensive, cross-country tour offers great opportunities to test drive our all-new Dodge Dart and models from all of our brands," said Reid Bigland, President and CEO – Dodge Brand and Head of U.S. Sales.

The 95-stop tour lands at the IAC Group in Southfield, Mich. today and will continue through late October. This fun-filled, half-day event takes place at a company's headquarters where employees eat lunch, take a test drive, talk to product specialists, learn about vehicle discount information, and get their photo taken with a Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee that salutes the fun-loving past of Dodge muscle cars with its legendary 392 HEMI® V-8.

SRT has always been a highlight of the weekend over the years for LX & Beyond. We have been lucky enough to get to know some of the SRT engineers behind various components which make the idea of an “SRT” Charger, Challenger, Cherokee, Viper a reality. We chatted with engineers whose expertise ranged in everything from powertrain calibration, chassis engineering, vehicles dynamics and driveline engineering. In addition, we have had the opportunity to see some vehicles that never made it to production (Dodge Challenger SRT10) and some components that did make it into production models. I still remember the very first year that the SRT Engineers came to LX & Beyond Nationals like it was yesterday. We did not know if they were going to make it for sure but when they did arrive it was an entrance that nobody will forget. A Dodge Ram SRT10 towing a trailer with the Dodge Challenger SRT10 on it, followed by a Dodge Viper ACR, Chrysler 300 SRT8, Dodge Challenger SRT8, Chrysler 300 Wagon SRT8, and another Dodge Viper. That’s how you make an entrance! In addition to the SRT Tour making an official stop on Saturday, July 21 at LXBN5 this year we will be welcoming the SRT Engineers back to Ohio again for LX & Beyond Nationals weekend. In addition, they will be joined by one of the Engineers from Mopar. All will be available for the much anticipated annual SRT Engineer Chat Session on Saturday, July 21 at 9pm. Thank you to SRT for this awesome opportunity!
