Most of the folks that went together last year that own an LX just went to hang out, check out the event and participate in the evening cruises.

Mopar Nats is picky about which late model cars they will allow in the car show. If the car is not 1980 or older, it has to be a special edition, performance version or modified. (i.e. SRT, SuperBee, Daytona, etc.)

We had a great time last year, and it was a LOT of fun to see so much Mopar horsepower. It will be nice to see a lot more Modern Mopar in attendence. I just got my tix and pass in the mail today and plan to be there the whole weekend.

[WLYBSB08]

Yeah, tried to do that last year and again this year but too many procrastinators.

I pre-register every year and waited as long as I could. Last year we all drove in as a group though and had a nice spot with plenty of shade.

Pics from last year! (below)
Everybody on time and ready to caravan to Mopar Nats.
