    ***** September Events *****

    ***** 2013 3000GT / Stealth / GTO Calandar picture submissions *****
    Its that time of year again.

    Deadline 9/30/2012 (ish)

    Some of the submissions rules and comments may come across as harsh. But the images need to be high-quality to look nice when printed.

    Submissions need to be as close to 3500 pixels wide and 2300 pixels tall as you can get. Yes that will exclude some older cameras and cell phone pictures. But as always I plan to print them at 17x11 so we need hi-rez. 640x480 is not "close".

    The submission can not be highly compressed. If your picture is a jpg and its less that 500k don't even bother sending it.

    Send submissions to calendar@3sgto.org

    I will review all submissions for size and image quality and reply if they are accepted or rejected. I will review submissions in batches so do not worry if it takes a while to get a response. If you submit before 9/15 and do not hear back from be by that date PM me.

    If you were at the NG look for your car in the official pictures you may find one good enough to submit.


    ***** 3S National Gathering *****

    ***** Classifieds Verification *****
    Their are many verifications hanging waiting for final approval. Most of these are wanting for a response from you. Because of the way that the verification forum works I can not post a regular reply in your thread. I have to edit your post and leave a note in it. If you applied and have not been verified keep checking your thread to see if I have left a note.

    We don't get that many verification requests so I only do them once a week at this point.


    ***** Sponsors *****
    I want to thank Ray and Steve from Pampena Motorsports for rejoining 3sgto as a sponsor.

    If you run a business and would like to sell / advertise on 3sgto.org send me a PM(alan92rttt) or email (alan@3sgto.org)



    As always huge thank you to all of the members for making 3sgto.org and 3sg.org a success.
