Believe me, I'm making a lot of sacrifices to be able to make it this year, and that's not including driving a 225,000 mile Stealth 1200 miles each way. I've had to change work schedules with someone else, which means I'll be working 8 graveyard shifts in a row, getting off work at 6 am on the Tuesday of the NG and driving north without any sleep. (I'm almost 55, by the way, not some 20 year old, monster energy drink guzzler who is used to no sleep) But it's all worth it, especially if this turns out to be the last one.

Please be careful driving! Try to at least get a little sleep. We will all be there waiting for you wed morning

PS good post! They should setup a donation or something where if you really can't come you can donate a few bucks to keep it going.

Make a sacrifice, find the post in 3si's general form and keep it the most active post in general.

In any FB group you are in, post up about the event.

Make sure to post telling people why they need to go and how good the event is.

I'll be about 8,000 miles away at that time. I wish everyone the best.

Way ahead of you...registered a month ago.

Numbers are low but I'm sure, as usual, there will be a ton of sign-ups come the end of the week as everyone always procrastinates on signing up/paying.

It does suck to hear about the excuses though. I had some lame excuses last year and was super bummed I didn't do what I could to make it happen and get there. With it being really far east this year we hit a whole new crowd of 3S owners but with never being to one I'm guessing they just don't know how good of a time it is. They should look at the 2 guys driving from the west coast as proof that it's worth some sacrifices.

Can someone with 3Si access post some of the pics that I have put on the NG facebook page?

**Maximal** · 05-19-2014, 09:42 AM

I'm on it.

I'm coming but need to register still, probably will tomorrow. I tend to put things odd until the last moment

I'm super excited as this is my first NG, It better love up to all the hype
