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.

The itinerary for this year's event:

• Thursday Evening - Dinner in Lake George followed by a fireworks show details to follow
• Friday Evening - Go-Karting at K1 Speed Albany
• Saturday - Car show
• Saturday Evening - Awards dinner
• Saturday Night - Costume Party

For the first time in the history of this event, we will be participating as a group in the annual "Wheels in the Woods" car show at Thacher State Park. Your registration fee will include admission into the car show. Food and beverages be available at the car show.

Thursday and Friday evening events are optional.

You will have time to do things on your own after the car show and prior to the catered award dinner at the official hotel on Saturday evening. The costume party will commence shortly after dinner. This year's theme is, "The 80's." For the costume party, anything and everything related to that decade is fair game. As in prior years, we will be roaming the halls of the hotel in costume, so be sure your costume is respectful of the hotel's other guests.

Caravan details will be announced, so stay tuned.

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 ten years. 3SNJ and 3SNY has dedicated a lot of time and resources to make this the most unique 3S meet you’ll ever attend.

Event registration fees are $40.00 per guest and as always children are free. The cost of the karting is $67.00 per person.

As always, your registration fees will pay for:

• Courtesy / Party Room
• Refreshments & Snacks for the duration of the event.
• Lunch @ the car show
• Catered dinner @ hotel
• Carwash supplies
• Awards and trophies
• Raffle prizes
• Miscellaneous expenditures to run the event.

I'll be there for the karting on Friday and hopefully part of the car show Saturday, then unfortunately I have to head back to CT for a prior commitment and will miss the awards dinner.
