Ltx Shootout announcement !!! Fellow LTX’ers and LTX Community,
We want to start off by saying thanks to the participants, sponsors, staff, media, fans, and volunteers for helping make the LTX Shootout a success over the last four years. We appreciate the dedication, great attitudes and friendly competition and will always cherish the new friendships that were made. We should all be proud of how much we have accomplished. Unfortunately, family, financial and career obligations are making it more difficult than ever for us to continue coordinating this event and as a result we are announcing that we can no longer continue to coordinate the LTX Shootout.
We do not want the LTX Shootout event to die. We are looking for responsible and motivated individuals to take over the reins and continue the LTX Shootout legacy. The foundation has been set and notoriety has already been gained through printed media like GM High Tech, web sites like LTXTECH.com and LTXShootout.com, and even social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Kyle and I can attest to the fact that coordinating this event is no easy task but the gratification from smiling faces on Saturday night and the many thanks from dozens of members of our community always seemed to make it all worth while. If you know anyone that would be interested in taking over the LTX Shootout, please let us know via PM or email at info@ltxshootout.com.
We hope you have all enjoyed the LTX Shootout and hope that it will be around for more years to come. Kyle and I plan on racing at the next event if someone can make it happen.
Thank you all!
Tony Shepherd and Kyle McKenzie

Oh wow this is very sad news to hear about. If I could do it alone I would take over in a heartbeat. I would be more than willing to help out whom ever has the ability to continue forward with the event in anyway I can. Be it helping with track rental, rules and/or anything else that may come up.
Tony and Kyle I want to thank you guys for everything you have done to get this show going and for all the great people I have met in person because of it. Its the event of the year for me.
To anyone that wants to keep this going PM or call me and lets do this thing.

Seems like who ever is going to step up and take over would/should be able to pick the location. But putting on something like this is huge responsibility and sure is stressful even dealing with WAY smaller things there is always SOMETHING coming up.
if i can find a partner id be happy to step up and do it........as for location id say it would have to be a vote.......i mean personally id love atco nj or Maryland International Dragway but it all matters on attendance........
I agree with voting on location. It should be closest to the majority of where people are coming from. If it was closer to me there would be no question about going.

I think I can speak for everyone in saying that we all appreciate the hard work that Tony and Kyle put into this event for the time they ran it. I didn't get a chance to make it out to one yet so I sure hope someone picks up the torch and runs with it!
Kentucky was a pretty central location. Only Missouri or Kansas could be considered more central. But, the population centers are on the east and west coasts so, it makes it a tough call as to where to host an event and get the most participation.

I'm in for a mid-atlantic strip. I would love to go but the current location is too far.
it should be a vote. where ever draws the biggest car count should obviously be the area the event needs to be held...but i guess whoever hosts the event will have final say. i sure hope somebody picks up and follows through from where tony and kyle left off. myself and another member on here were planning on attending this year at bowling green.
Wow what a sad sad day. Glad I could make it before it ended. I think hosting it in the same location that made the shootout what it is. But hey of not it could always be in Tenn or even Florida. There are huge groups of fbodys in Florida and a ton to do as well. Thank you Tony and Kyle for everything you have done with the shootout and continue to do. JOB WELL DONE!
