• We recommend calling the hotels directly versus using the 1-800 number or booking online because the actual hotel knows the group better than the national number or online system.
• Anybody that does not need a double room, please leave for the folks that do. They are all the same price and you actually have more room in the King vs. the Double Bed rooms. Also, many of the King rooms have a sofa with a pull-out bed in it.
• There are many room variations at BOTH locations, ask them what is available for each night of stay for the number of people you are bringing.

Bring DAD and the rest of the family for the weekend and have some fun!!! Plenty for the entire family to enjoy.

I know a lot of folks here may have never heard of the LX & BEYOND NATIONALS. Although it is in Ohio, it is open to anybody with an LX that would like to attend. It is primarily an LX event but each year we have opened it up to different Mopar owners. The 2007 event which was host to 100 LX owners, 15 Vipers, 10 SRT4's, 2 Jeep SRT's and a 12-second Dodge Caravan.

If anybody has any questions please let me know. For 2008, we have expanded the 1-day event into a 2-day event which will include a drag race competition and show & shine competition with many prizes. All prizes provided by your favorite forum supporting vendors that you have gotten to know very well over the years. This will definitely be one of THE EVENTS to attend in 2008 if you are a fan of MOPAR products!!!

Just wanted to share this info in case anybody is interested.

Look forward to seeing all of you!
