Last, but definitely not least I would like to thank the BUCKEYE LX CAR CLUB for all their help and F4 CHALLENGE for their relentless attention to detail and fairness with the car show.

Both racing and carshow results will be posted later this week. Those of you that were advised that the prize sponsors will be given your info should be hearing from them soon. If not, please contact me via email and we will get you connected with them so you can claim your prizes.

I’ll be wrapping up final items from the 2010 event over the next few weeks, then taking the month of August off to enjoy the summer and see some of you at events around the country, and then get back into planning for 2011 on September 1st. Without a doubt you all inspired me and provided some very useful feedback to make the event next year even better. Mark your calendars and plan your modifications for July 16-17, 2011!!!

Thank you again!

Plus, every owner receives a Mopar ’10 R/T Owner’s Kit with heritage parts and a book that outlines the special vehicle build and specification data, as well as a limited-edition sketch of the vehicle signed by Chrysler Group design chief MarkTrostle and Mopar ‘10 merchandise.
