NG11 Location

[Lori]

Watch carefully - you'll find it here first. The NG11 dates and location will be announced next week! And continue watching... There's a HUGE surprise being announced in the coming weeks. You'll see it here first! I promise you... You don't want to miss NG11! This one will be big!

[green-lantern]

But I want to know now! :p I'm not going to tell anyone. :)

[Maximal]

I'm with Paul...I say post it here before this place is public then delete it before it becomes so. :suspect:

[Lori]

lol You guys are soooo cute!! But no. Terry, you'll find out this weekend anyway when you receive your sponsor package. I expect the usual 2-minute response, of course. :)

[Maximal]

Haha, I'll be out of town tomorrow and not sure about cell reception so it might be a bit longer than 2 minutes...like 15. :lol:

Either way looking forward to finally finding out where it's going to be. :)

[green-lantern]

oh hell and so it begins!

[Polygon]

I'm just hoping it's a little closer to the middle of the country. Can't wait to find out.

[green-lantern]

Me ether

[Show Killer]

Yes, keep us posted.

[93STLTH]

I hope this works with my schedule next year. Lori, can you at least give us the dates you're looking at?

[Chris GTO TT]

:ohnoes:

[agtblank]

Lori,
Doesn't every year have a BIG SURPRISE? Depending on where in the world I am next year, I might try to make it. I'm scheduled to leave Germany for parts unknown in August.

[impulsive6791]

Can't wait!! This will be my first NG since I got into the platform in 07. Hoping that its in the middle of the U.S. but i'm willing to drive anywhere for this one!

That'd be the shit.

I'll be at the next NG; I'm the surprise. :)

Hans, dear god.

Make a transformer 3000GT. I'll help.

IMO, the surprise is going to be Ray dragging against an airplane. (and losing.)

[Boomer3000]

Hans transformers anything is bad ass(que tattoo on the back of my arm) and i can't wait..... i love suprises

As long as it transforms into a BBQ grille and beer dispenser. :)

[Vantage]

^^agreed. I <3 beer.

[11secondFWD]

I can't wait for info. I finally have a vr4 and cant wait to go to NG11. Indy will be great for me in ohio, but i am flexible.

[Jimvr4]

I've wanted to go for years. How about a little further west :o

[Lori]

Can you guys do me a huge favor and not talk about all the places you want it to be? Here's the thing, and I'm NOT trying to be bitchy, so please don't take it that way... I wanted to step down a few years ago. I was talked out of it. This year I asked them to give me one more chance because I wasn't happy with some things that happened (what? There's water on the track?). They graciously agreed to let me. The reason I hesitate each year is because of my personal commitments. 19 months ago I bought a retail store. It's 2500 sq ft and has about 20 employees. We do over a half million each year. It's a big business for one person to run... And yes, I have people to help me, but in this economy it requires A LOT of attention. And it's not just time there... It's time paying the bills, ordering, etc. Ok, enough boring you with that. The NG... When we're about a month out, it requires at least 40 hours per week of my time. Then I take 10 days off to make it happen, and usually a couple of days a few weeks later to finish it all up and get ready for the next year. It's crazy the amount of time that goes into it. This is NOT a complaint. I swear to you, it's not. I've asked for this remember.

Here's the thing... With that type of commitment already, the NG can't move too far from me. When it was in Memphis, we were dealing with my server going down... And I mean DOWN. Crashed. Big. Lots of time and money to get it up and limping, while I was 14 hours away. I was incredibly torn between continuing on to Memphis and turning around to go back to Detroit. I can't do that again... I can't be that far away. I love the NG, and I love the people, but every year it's hard to leave. It takes me 80 hrs to prep the store for me to be gone, then an hour a day dealing with emails and stuff for it during the NG... If you do the math, that means the week before NG is 80 hours at the shop and 40 hours of NG stuff, not to mention what Alan has to get done.

This is probably a lot of detail that you didn't need, but I wanted everyone to understand why I ask you to please not debate the location... I'd love to move it out west, but I can't. If someone else wants to take it over for 2012 and move it, then I'm certainly open to the idea of giving it up. But when I hear the great debate I know I'm going to disappoint people and that's really hard for me... I'm a girl - I get emotional. Get over it. And help by not making me feel bad, if you can, please....

That's all. Sorry for unnecessary details.

[Boomer3000]

Hey lori, i was only at the 2010 NG for like 3 days, and from what i seen you did an awesome job. I think we can all respect how busy schedules get in the way believe me... so keep doing what your doing and you will be fine!!!! theres track on the water lol from what i seen and heard from you there were alot of stupid people that werent willing to work with us but thats the world we live in and we just have to grin and bear it....

so from me and my wife THANKS IT WAS A BLAST..... and if you ever need any type of help i am always down to help, this community has turned me into a better person so i will do anything i can to give back to that community and make it better in any way!!!!

[B-Man]

Awww, e-hugs for Lori. I hope everything works out the way you want it this year.

[green-lantern]

This year I asked them to give me one more chance because I wasn't happy with some things that happened

Lori, you never needed to ask! I honestly think I speak for 99% of the people when I say we know what all you do and we greatly appreciate it. I nor anybody I know wishes anybody else was handling NG.

[akotten]

Can't wait!! This will be my first NG since I got into the platform in 07. Hoping that its in the middle of the U.S. but i'm willing to drive anywhere for this one!

Well considering you posted exactly what I was going to respond with, I figured I would just quote you! :D I finally got my car running (for now, I hope my rebuild holds up) so I am going to plan on coming next year. :)

[Caswell239]

subsribed... hoping to make it.... but it will be a looong Drive all the way from up here

[2fnloud]

I heard a rumor about where NG11 was going to be, so I will wait and see if that source was / is reliable.

[green-lantern]

My house!!!!!

[Lori]

I heard a rumor about where NG11 was going to be, so I will wait and see if that source was / is reliable.

Guaranteed just a rumor. There are only a couple of people who know where it'll be, and even fewer that know the big surprise.

[stealthee]

Lori let me say I have never met you or had the opportunity to attend a NG. From what I have heard you do an excellent job. From being on 3si for so long I can tell you that you have to let a lot of things just slide off your back. Don't take this as a slam, but it just may be a gender thing where you take things to heart a little too much, whereas a guy might just shrug it off. Let the people complain and whine about where they think NG should be. They don't realize just how much of your personal time you use to make it happen. You should be the one to figure out what works best and decide where it happens.

I honestly hope I will be able to attend the NG11, but I will not make any promises so early. Life could be leading me in so many different directions in the coming months.

[fastnelson]

Do it in E-town NJ. Either way I'll try to go

NBF

[Nationalmilkman]

I'm in to find out the "Big Surprise"

[CoopKill]

Subscribeded!:p

[Lori]

Thanks, guys. You too, Stealthee. But honestly, I don't let it bother me that much. It just kinda brings me down a little, so I thought if I asked nicely maybe we could avoid it. Besides, 2011 has been decided... I'm sure we can find other things we'd rather rant about. ;)

[Boomer3000]

Decided??? ahahahaha I'm dying to know!!!!

[Fletch]

Tell us please? I dislike suspense :P

waiting for update.

[Chris GTO TT]

Good that it doesn't bother you too much, but in all honesty the people that complain about it being too far or have disparaging things to say are people that haven't been to the NG and don't understand the work that really goes into it. I realize I've only been to one (where I met you and Alan) but I worked my ass off at that event simply because I had no car so it was easy for me to help out at every event. Yet i still cannot fathom the amount of work that goes in to the run up to the event.

[OhioSpydersKid]

The wait is killer! Hopefully wherever it is my dad, brother, and I will make the trip!

Impatiently waiting :o

Zach.

[Polygon]

Well, here's an idea for the west coast people. Drum up the interest again and maybe we could have the West Coast Gatherings in Vegas again. I missed out on those for health reasons and it really pisses me off. I only kid about it being closer and I understand what goes into it. I had no idea about your work situation. I feel like I'm missing out on not having been to the NG once. I'd really like to meet a lot of you. I've missed out for health reasons and for the last couple of years it's been money.

Well, I'm going to do what I can to get the car up to snuff and put aside money to come out there, wherever there might be, for 2011.

[aaronatstate]

I'm def going this year, and I'm assuming it will still be in Indy. That's still a 10+ hour drive for me, and it is totally worth it. I do think, if it ever moves further west, dont think it will though, cause I'd say there are more owners east of the Mississippi, a good place would be Topeka, Kansas. They have an NHRA track there, that also has a very nice road course as well, with the drag strip as part of it. Just a thought. But I'll go wherever it is, even if it was in Alaska, prolly wouldnt drive though lol.

[91stealthrt2]

I just want to know the planned date, I'm planning to take a road trip to see my wife's family in ND so that will make us probably 1/2-2/3 of the way. If I can work the trip into one that is.

[Unknownvr4]

Im coming! subscribed

[3000crazy]

Lori thank you for all the time you put in to making NG possible. I know it's been said and will be said more, but you do an awesome job. I've been three years in a row now and haven't been disappointed. Keep up the good work.

[Sazzy77GTO]

Lori I just want to tell you again that our 1st NG was an amazing experience, everyone was very welcoming considering that we were the British folk amongst a bunch of Americans. You do a fantastic job, and i told Dave this morning that whatever happens with us we will make sure that we are there for the next NG, I dont care if we are still stuck in the UK we will make sure we have flights out and stay and witness a great event within the 3S community.

Big e-hugs to you Lori

[Lori]

awwww I miss you Sarah! Thanks so much for the kind words. I love this community - that's why I do it. As for Kansas, Aaron, it's been considered and will continue to be. That's all I can say... Dates are June 21-26. There ya have it - your first piece of the puzzle. Enjoy! You won't see it anywhere else for a while.

[xwire]

Can't wait to start making plans for this years ng, anxiously awaiting my sponsor email

[Lori]

You should get that today, Von. Thanks for all your support!!

[agtblank]

wow, Lori, congrats on your store... what kind of store is it? Knitting? You can email me back offline.

[aaronatstate]

awwww I miss you Sarah! Thanks so much for the kind words. I love this community - that's why I do it. As for Kansas, Aaron, it's been considered and will continue to be. That's all I can say...

Yeah Heartland Park is a NICE track. I'm so pumped to go back to NG again!

[Vantage]

Hopefully I can make it to this one!

[k bone 25]

Looking forward to another NG!

Always a great time

[Boomer3000]

Oh yea

[k bone 25]

Oh yea

Potatoes for NG Official Banquet!

[i3igpete]

oh yeah lori - if it has to be close to your house, it has to be. we definitely appreciate what you do and i would have no idea how to begin planning something like this!

[Lori]

Thanks everyone. I've been so lucky to have such amazing support for the years that I've done the NG... It started off rough, but that's because no one knew who I was or my event planning background... And I WASN'T a car girl. I think I probably shouldn't claim that anymore... I'm still not that into the cars, but I'm into the community. Definitely mark those dates on your calendar... This one is going to be big. I can't tell you the surprise yet, but it's BIG. I'm really serious... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as it pans out... And it looks REALLY good right now.

[jbuhrman]

I asked alan yesterday where I sghould plan my ticket for NG11 and he said Orbitz.com smart ass....

Also dont forget my offer on the trophies..

[Lori]

Trophies or t-shirts? I thought you'd offered on t-shirts... Definitely interested in talking with you VERY soon. I'll PM later tonight.

[jbuhrman]

Trophies or t-shirts? I thought you'd offered on t-shirts... Definitely interested in talking with you VERY soon. I'll PM later tonight.

Trophies, plaques, I think he can screen print T-shirts Im not 100% sure Ill ask when I talk to him next.
He can do alot of different things and such. But yea just PM me what ya need and ill shoot him a call and get the ball moving on that.

[Mitsu_fan]

I think all of the speculation about where the next NG will be is part of the fun. We all rally for our closer to home areas to be the spot, but in reality, we're going to go where ever it is held. It's like we all anxiously await the announcement of the NG just like others do as they await the naming of the location of the next Super Bowl, All-Star game, or Olympics. As for Lori's level of commitment, there can be no comparison. This lady can be summed up in one word....amazing. It's obvious that her and committe put in tons of time on the gathering as they are top class year after year. When your server goes down, or when the track is under water, or the banquet dinner plans go wack, you rise up and overcome the situation. What more can I say, you're the best! I've been to 6 NGs and I can't wait for NG11 and to find out what this "Big Surprise" is! -- Gary

[colt45 gto]

hey its ok for you guys wanting it closer to home, us brits and poor old dj frost have to travel 1000's of miles! hahaha

[aaronatstate]

hey its ok for you guys wanting it closer to home, us brits and poor old dj frost have to travel 1000's of miles! hahaha

I couldn't imagine the drive from the UK :D

[Lori]

Gary, you made me cry. I think that's one of the kindest posts I've ever read. Thank you so much. You'll never know what that means to me.

[R/T93]

Im going to NG11 no matter what.... never been to one, cant freakin WAIT!!!

[onebadmollafolla]

Im going to NG11 no matter what.... never been to one, cant freakin WAIT!!!

I feel the exact same way. I'm doing everything in my power to ensure I can attend the next meet. *crosses fingers*

[Runner up]

I've already made up my mind to attend, no matter what.

[JasonY]

I wont miss this one, thats for sure! Ahhhh the benefits of being self employed...!

Jason

[Geordon]

I have marked the date in my work calendar. Don't have to worry about anyone scheduling meetings on me before I know the rest of the details.

[DuTTch]

Its gonna be in las Vegas

[DuTTch]

Lori I just want to tell you again that our 1st NG was an amazing experience, everyone was very welcoming considering that we were the British folk amongst a bunch of Americans. You do a fantastic job, and i told Dave this morning that whatever happens with us we will make sure that we are there for the next NG, I dont care if we are still stuck in the UK we will make sure we have flights out and stay and witness a great event within the 3S community.

Big e-hugs to you Lori

teach that boy of yours some american first ok:D!!

[naptownvr4]

I live in Indy and was so disappointed to not be able to attend NG 2010. I had just bought my 3/s and was completely broke from paying for it so I had to work everyday that week. I am going to do everything I can to try and make it this year though, no matter where it is at.

And Lori, although I have never met you, from what I have heard in my short time being in the 3/s community, you are a very respectable person. No matter were NG is held, there will be people who love the location, and people who don't. With all the time sacrifice you have to give up for it, the location should be somewhere that is not unbelievable difficult for you, and that should be what is important. Subscribed to find out location, and the "big surprise." Thanks again for all the hard work you put into this platform.

[R/T93]

Let's represent the NW!

I will have to send my hoosiers in the mail to wherever it is, lol. Fuck, I will have some road racing R-compounds by then too, thats 3 sets of wheels :/ lol

[Flash Gordon]

My vote is to bring it back to Memphis. You all know you loved this place

[Show Killer]

Calendar - marked.
Location - Doesn't matter, the least i've driven for an Ng is about 800 miles. I've only missed 1 ng (2006) and that was because i had just started a new job and had no vacation time.

[colt45 gto]

I couldn't imagine the drive from the UK :D

yeah its a bitch! car gets a bit water logged hahaha

[Sazzy77GTO]

DuTTch. you know Dave give him a few months in American and I bet that he will start with an accent lol.

[Lori]

Memphis would be great... Just one little issue. They don't have a track anymore.... That would change the event just a bit.

[1992redvr-4]

Beech Bend in Bowling Green, KY would be nice. I'm gonna try my best to make it to the next one. Would've went to the one in Indy this year but things was hard with a two month old baby girl.

Where ever the next one is, I'm definitely gonna try to make it there.

[Hannibalzero]

Do we have dates yet for NG2011? I wouldn't mind putting my vacation request in a bit early this year. :D

[Lori]

I can tell you that much... Announced it elsewhere on this site. June 21-26, 2011. Nothing else has been announced yet...

[Hannibalzero]

Cool. Thanks!

[x2percentmilk]

so much tension ahhh.
im going to try my best to make it, as ive never been to one yet :)

[Polygon]

I can't wait, just got the time off approval.

[Igovert500]

I've been dying to go for years, but it's just never feasible, and probably wont be once again...but my fingers are certainly crossed.

[Hannibalzero]

How is it not feasible? I can understand why people say it isn't feasible one specific year, but every year?

[blindmist]

How is it not feasible? I can understand why people say it isn't feasible one specific year, but every year?

I have never been able to go 5 yrs because it is too far. Even from Texas that kills my budget. You have to understand, some of us are students or have very tight budgets due to kids or other things.

[dbest671]

Lori-- Haven't been to an NG yet, but I can tell how hard you work. If there is anything I could do to help let me know. I am home most of the time with nothing real important to do. April (Don's better half ;))

Dodge Ram 4x4- Check
Flat Bed car hauler- Check
Spyder in one piece- hopefully
Attending NG no matter what-- definitely

[Hannibalzero]

Tight budgets, sure. But come on, people have a year to plan for something like this. In a 12 month period, I'm pretty sure most people can scrounge around for the $300-400 it will cost to go. I'll even sign you up as my guest so you can save on registration fees. :p

Lol, I am actually going to try hard has hell to get to this next one. I will be finished with my car by then, well, it will be running.

You would be amazed. I planned on making the one in 2007, had the money, everything was going good up till the day I was going to register. Car broke and other sorts.

[Igovert500]

How is it not feasible? I can understand why people say it isn't feasible one specific year, but every year?

The first few years I was a broke college student. I probably could have managed in '05 or '06 but was spending all my time off from work driving 3 hours to visit my gf from college. The last few years my job was not one where you could take off for a week at a time. And come next year, I'll have a 3-mo old child, a family to support and a mortgage to pay on a single income (not complaining, just saying) so up and leaving a commision-only job for a week and my gf w/ the baby and our 6 dogs probably wont happen. For me it's not the costs of actually attending, it's the lost income & the responsibilities at home.

[Geordon]

...so up and leaving a commision-only job for a week and my gf w/ the baby and our 6 dogs probably wont happen. For me it's not the costs of actually attending, it's the lost income & the responsibilities at home.

I am not saying this will work for you, and am not trying to bust your chops (I am not one to talk, as I haven't been to one, myself), I think the schedule allows for arrivals later in the week, as well. I marked my calendar for 2011, but I started on Thursday, instead of Tuesday, to plan for the "Weekender" package versus the Full week. 2010 Info (http://3sng.org/?link=pricing)

[MightyMouse]

well....its next week......

[CoopKill]

well....its next week......

You are banned already???

Under you name? LMAO

[jbuhrman]

LMAO

I think I might know what the suprise could be...... Alan wearing a borat bikini at the pool....

[93STLTH]

Thanks Lori, those dates are exactly what I was hoping for! They're perfect for my schedule. Me and old blue will be there unless you have it Maine, that's just a bit too far of a drive from San Diego. :-)
I'm also interested in making a contribution towards the show trophies. I'm not a vendor, so I can't be a sponsor, but I'd still like to help. The one NG I attended, in '09 was a lot fun and a great experience, but it seemed like there could have been a few more trophies to give away considering the number of great cars there.

[Gene]

Lori, please PM me sponsorship info too.

[MaxClass]

Now who would not like it to be in the entertainment capitol of the world, Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada. Just don't hold it in July or August. Mid October would be fantastic here. If it's to far for most they can just bring pictures of their cars and set them up in a parking lot. Since I live here I'll bring my own car and look at their pictures.

Actually would love to attend one of these but they are always far away and I can't get the time off. Maybe when I retire.

well they have "supras invade las vegas" (not gonna make it this year) we could always have "3000gts invade LV" but it would more likely end up being "3000gts try to invade LV, but end up on a flatbed instead"

[i3igpete]

do you guys still have the WCNC out there still?

[Keyan]

As long as it's not in Hawaii, I'll be there. :p

[Polygon]

As long as it's not in Hawaii, I'll be there. :p

Shit, I'd be there. Sadly, the NG would have a lot of people but like one or two 3Ss there.

Lol. If its in hawaii that will be the most likely time I'll make an NG.

I went 2 years ago in Memphis. It was about a 2 and 1/2 day drive for me, but I'm a road warrior. I know Dale wants to go, but he'd have to trailer his car. Once the location is announced, I'll see if and other CA, AZ, NV people would be willing to make the trip.

[Lori]

Watch the NG section in events... The location will be announced VERY soon. Could even be today, depending on my mood. :)

I would be depending on what route you were taking. Coming from Utah it's going to be day drive no matter how I cut it. I was going to stop at a hotel half way.

I would be depending on what route you were taking. Coming from Utah it's going to be day drive no matter how I cut it. I was going to stop at a hotel half way.

No, coming from Utah, you're looking at 2 days, at least. Hell, it'll take you a day just to get to paved roads!! :-)

Yes, that appears to be how the phrase was coined.
A new phrase was added to the English language: "In Like Flynn". (http://www.inlikeflynn.com/flynn.html)

I went 2 years ago in Memphis. It was about a 2 and 1/2 day drive for me, but I'm a road warrior. I know Dale wants to go, but he'd have to trailer his car. Once the location is announced, I'll see if and other CA, AZ, NV people would be willing to make the trip.

Me and my new wife are planning to go to NG11 this year as our late honeymoon trip. I'd love to meet up and have a caravan going down to wherever the NG ends up being. PM me if anything like that gets worked out.

About 15 hours, My wife and I were on our honeymoon and decided to leave early, and when we were going through indiana on our way home(st.louis MO) we were like what the hell and bam NG we went haha

Awesome it won't be in Ohio!

[91stealthrt2]

2282 Miles each way, but will end up being much more due to visiting the wifes family if we can make it.

[Wildarmz]

4 hours 56 mins only one highway...I-65 N. Cool!

[Runner up]

Sweet! I'll be there no problem. :)

[blindmist]

OH BOY. I hope I get to go. Just the drive there is worth the trip. Man O man O MAN!

[Hannibalzero]

For those of you who are worried about driving the distance, you could always fly in. I guarantee you will still have fun even without your car. There are at least three major airports nearby: Indy, and then Cinci and Louisville are a little over an hour. Getting a ride from the a fellow NGer shouldn't be a problem.

2285 miles one way. But for a 300 mile detour I can visit the folks in TX. I might just make the drive - yeah it's grueling and time consuming but you see much more on the way :)

[Lori]

The Indy airport is very close to the hotel.. In fact, the hotel offers a free shuttle service, or I'm always happy to pick someone up if it's prior to registration starting on Tuesday and I'm not down there by myself again. And I swear.... If I'm by myself again, there's gonna be hell to pay for the committee members. And someone had better supply me with some Bailey's... A LOT of Bailey's....

Added the location to the facebook page. Looks like it's about 760 miles for me.

Did I miss something -- as in what is the "Official Hotel" of 3S NG? Thanks.

[B-Man]

That's usually announced when you register.

[Lori]

The official hotel information is only given out to paid registrants. This way we don't get a bunch of people who THINK they're going to register reserving rooms then cancelling them at the last minute, only for registrants to have to go elsewhere in the meantime. You register, pay, receive a confirmation email with the hotel info, then call and reserve the hotel. Easy peasy.

[Polygon]

When will we be able to register? I want to register now so I have no excuse to not go.

[R/T93]

Its only 2200 miles... I will be there!!!

[Lori]

Registration won't open until the beginning of the year. We're waiting until we can firm up the big surprise, I think. There's a chance we'll open it sooner, but since I think the big surprise will have to be an additional charge (albeit fairly minimal and WELL worth it), it's easiest if we just wait. Killer, isn't it? I'm so mean to you guys.

[jbuhrman]

Im in no rush since I am un able to know if Ill 100% be able to make it or not yet, gotta wait to see how long my ship will be in dry dock for.

Who's gunna let me use their car for the road course/autox?

[R/T93]

I will!! lol

[91stealthrt2]

I will!! lol

well, if my wife doesn't want to go on the road trip, maybe we could just go in one car and split the cost... We'll see though, she really wants a auto 3S.

ps, I called you to let you know I'm going to the alfa's track day on the 23rd at Bremerton.

[Vantage]

Will said big surprise involve strippers and blow?

[Hannibalzero]

That sort of thing is expected at NG, so it wouldn't be much of a surprise. :p
