    June 21-26 The 3S National Gathering Indianapolis, In

    The 3SNG the largest 3S event. This one is special its the 20th anniversary of our cars and the NG team has set it up so that everyone in attendance will get to participate in a pace lap at IMS. Pace Lap, Road Course, Drag Race, Car Show. What more could you want from a 3S event? More people that's what. Please help get the word out to make this the killer event that it can be. 3SI has cut off the NG team from posting about the event they need your help and a word of mouth movement to get the word out. Even if you can't attend please help share the word.

    I am proud to announce that 3SGTO.org will be the autocross sponsor for the 2011 3S NG.

    Forum Stuff
    Its been just over 6 months and alot has happened in that time. THe growth of the forum is well beyond anyting that I dreamed of, thank you. Just last week we crossed what 2000 members mark and we are already over 2030 members. Since the beginning of 2011 site traffic has been up and steadily increasing. Because of the increase in traffic in march the server was upgraded from shared hosting to a virtual dedicated server. This new server is paid for the next year and should give us the room we need to continue growing. Please tell all of your 3S friends and we can make 3SGTO the best and biggest 3S site on the web.

    When I was running 3si and since I started 3SGTO the request for a "chatroom" has been a constant. With the upgraded server I was able to add a chat box. Check it out. It can be fun but kids will be kids and some time4s their are issues just let Jeremy or I know and we'll talk to any problem users. Are there any other changes you would like? Stop in at the suggestions forum and make a post.

    Spyder/Convertible 3S owners. This is your months in the Car of the month. Entries must be in by May 1st.
