The 3000GT/Stealth National Gathering is the largest gathering of 3/S’s in the world! This year, the Committee is very pleased to announce that the 2008 National Gathering (NG08) will be held in Memphis, Tennessee, June 17-22, 2008!!

Our schedule is as follows:
Tuesday: Registration
Wednesday: Driving School, Photo Shoots, Registration
Thursday: AutoCross, Car Show
Friday: Road Course, Drag Races
Saturday: Banquet
Sunday: Departure

Here are the fun facts, quick and dirty:

Driving School is being held by Race On. Cost is $300 per driver if you register early. There are only 25 spots available, so don’t procrastinate!

The photo shoots will be done by Keith Upton of Performance Imagery. Keith is known as “Mobo” on 3SI. He’s a freelance photographer for many of the car magazines and brings with him an amazing talent for getting the right picture at just the right moment with just the right background. Photo shoots are included with all registration packages, too!

The AutoCross, Drag Race, and Road Course will all be held at Memphis Motorsports Park – an easy 7-8 minute drive from the hotels!! Does it get any better? Actually, it does. The Drag Races are AT NIGHT!!! 2pm until 10pm, just as so many have requested in the past.

The Car Show will be on the very famous BEALE STREET! For those who aren’t familiar, it’s like Bourbon Street in New Orleans! Party all the time, closed off to cars at night. Oh, and just so you can party safely, you can purchase an unlimited-use bus ticket to transport you to/from Beale Street and the main hotel.

And the Banquet… GRACELAND here we come!! Banquet tickets include a tour of the mansion. The banquet is after hours, so all tours will be private for NG08 participants and guests.

Want to know how to become a part of the action??? Register at www.3snationalgathering.com beginning Friday, November 30, at 9:00pm EST! This will undoubtedly be the biggest and best National Gathering yet. You certainly don’t want to miss it!!

The 2008 NG is being sponsored by: 3SX Performance, Dejon Powerhouse, Maximal Performance, and TN3S. Thanks to all our sponsors who make this event possible! If you're interest in sponsoring, please contact lori@3snationalgathering.com for more information.

That sounds like a phenomenal time. I am working around a trip to China in June so I will have to make sure I am in the country during this NG. It is super close to me and I REALLY want to go.

Anyone that has never been to a NG must go. They are great fun and just awesome to see so many cars gathered together.

What do you need to know?


How many guests can we have and do we sign them up when we register or do they need to register themselves separately?

My best friend is coming with me, but I am not sure if her boyfriend will yet and none of us have been to a NG before so I wasn't sure what would need to be done to get us all signed up.

guests are unlimited.

You can add them and pay for them when you are sure they are coming.

If they are driving their own 3S they must register as a participant.

This has JUST happened. My wife just spoke with the Driving School (Race On). To encourage more of you to take part in this event they've authorized us to reduce the driving school price back down to the Early Registration price.

This means the Driving School is once again only $306 per person!! This will be effective only until May 15, so hurry up and get your payments in! Any driving school registrations after May 15 will go back up to $360 per person.

We still have a limit of 25 vehicles for this event, which means there aren't too many spots available. This may be the ONLY time this event is offered at a National Gathering. We got lucky in working out a GREAT deal for it, so there are definitely no guarantees that we'll ever be able to do it again.

Looks like Tracy got Taishi's Spyder in there. Tracy is an ex-MN 3/Ser. W00t!

later,

I have something else I'd love to show off. But I was told that it was supposed to be unvieled at the NG. So if I showed it off that would kind of ruin the unveiling.


I have considered posting pictures of the box ;)
