Registration is open for this year's NEG and the date is sneaking up fast.
Official NEG 2014 site and registration link

The North East Gathering was created to provide an opportunity for all 3000GT & Stealth enthusiasts to get together in the north eastern region. This event is focused on providing the 3S enthusiast, their friends, and family a fun filled weekend for all to enjoy. This event is unique compared to other 3S gatherings in that for the most part; it has very little to do with our cars. While there is a car show it is but a very small part of the gathering. The car show is held so participants are given the opportunity to showcase their cars and hard work in a collective manner; Not to show off but rather to educate one another. Votes from participants are tallied in a manner that is truly unique to the NEG. This meet is truly a vacation for 3S owners; No drag racing, no autocross, no long, drawn out cruises, and no activities that your family and friends of any age cannot partake. The planners of this event make it a point to keep things fresh and to try out new things. Meets tend to be predictable and boring if you don’t change it up every once in a while. After hosting this event for a few years, we are confident we have almost every base covered. None of your fees are for profit and an itemized list of expenditures are available to anyone who wants to see them. We take pride in efficiently managing our budget.

This year’s event will feature an optional "Aerial Forest Adventure" at Catamount Aerial Adventure Park in additiona to a car show at Thacher Park overlooking Albany, fully catered awards dinner at the hotel, costume party at the hotel, and tons of raffle prizes! Every paid registrant or guest is winning something!

Some of us will be caravanning Thursday night and staying at Days Inn in Lenox, MA. Catamount Aerial Adventure Park is right on the border of NY and MA. The Days Inn is about 17 miles away. So if you can make up on Friday, please join us. Upon completion of the tour, we will caravan to the Holiday Inn in Albany where we can check in. Caravan and tour times will be announced as the information becomes available.

Saturday afternoon, we will be traveling a short distance to Thacher State Park. We will be having a light lunch during the voting process then head back to the hotel. There will be time to relax or do other things prior to the catered dinner at the hotel that evening. The costume party will start shortly thereafter.

This year’s costume party theme is, "The 70's". This theme encompasses any and every thing that is related to the decade. Use your imagination... there will be a prize for best costume. This is a no holds barred costume onslaught; we just ask that you be respectful in your choice as we will be roaming the halls of the hotel and there will be other families present.

We have been using this region for several years and have tried different things to do, different places to hangout, and different places to eat. Some experiences weren’t that great but others were truly memorable. The coordinators of this event have chosen to utilize the best establishments we have utilized over the course of the last five years. 3SNJ and 3SNY has dedicated a lot of time and resources to make this the most unique 3S meet you’ll ever attend. We’ll be posting a chronological itinerary once prices and reservations are confirmed.
