The NEG was created to provide a means for all 3000GT & Stealth enthusiasts from the North Eastern part of the US to get together. This event is focused on providing the 3S enthusiast, their friends, and family a fun filled weekend for all to enjoy. Last year we all enjoyed tubing down the river. Who knows what we’ll be doing this year. Whatever it is, im sure it will be incredibly memorable.
On Friday we will be going to "The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom" then returning back to the hotel for dinner. On Saturday morning we'll be having breakfast at the hotel and detailing our cars. Then we'll be traveling to Prospect Mountain in Lake George for our Car Show. We'll be ending our Saturday with a catered dinner & costume party at the hotel. This year we'll be the first time we will have a trophy for "Best Costume" as well as prize. Sunday we'll finishing up with a late breakfast at Cracker Barrel then heading home.
This year's theme is "Animated". Which means anyone attending the Dinner & Costume Party should be dressed accordingly. Animated covers any cartoon or video game character. For example: Smurfs, Thunder Cats, GI Joe, Pokemon, Street Fighter, Super Mario, Zelda, etc.

Hotel Information:
We'll be staying at the Holiday Inn which is on 205 Wolf Rd. in Albany, NY. This has been the official NEG hotel for the past 3 years and it has never let us down. Parking for the NEG registrants will be in a closed off section of the parking lot. The hotel has also agreed to allow us the use of their spigot to wash our cars (no need to go to a car wash). As far as amenities are concerned the hotel has its own restaurant, martini bar, indoor & outdoor pool, and wifi.
Please do not book or reserve your room until I provide the discount group code. We already have several rooms reserved for us. I am just waiting on the contract and discount code.
