Date: August 8th - 12th
Days: Wednesday - Sunday
Location: Albany / Lake George, NY
Sponsors: 3SNJ / 3SNY / Pampena Motorsports
Event Coordinators: Justin Lim, Fatimah Hassan, Alan Hom, Dan Zaganicci

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. The reason why this event is so unique compared to other 3S meets is because for the most part; it has nothing to do with our cars. Although this meet features a car show. Car show participants are given opportunities to showcase their mods and such 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, no activities that your family and friends of any age cant participate in. This year is also the first time the NEG will be a 4 day event!

This event will feature a Luncheon Boat Cruise around Lake George (optional), Lazy River tubing at Lake Luzerne (optional), Car Show on Prospect Mountain overlooking Lake George, fully catered Awards Dinner at the hotel (menu items will be listed), Costume party at the hotel, and tons of raffle prizes!

This years costume party theme is Medieval Fantasy. This theme encompasses anything from the time period as well as fantasy characters. Such as but not limited to wizards, warriors, dragons, demons, pixies, elves, maiden wench, princesses, queens, kings, and witches. You can also draw inspiration from such movies as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Willow, Conan, Clash of the Titans, etc.

We’ve been using this region for several years. We’ve 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. Id like to think this year is the best of the best. The coordinators of this event have chosen to utilize the best establishments we’ve utilized over the course of 4 years. 3SNJ and 3SNY has dedicated alot 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.

The thing is that everyone seems to like this venue. I've been to all types of 3S events for several years all over the country. I have to say its my all time favorite meet. The biggest reason is probably cause it has nothing to do with cars, LOL.

If you wanna do something closer to NYC/Long Island area, we'll just have to call it something else.

As of right now this year's itinerary will be identical to 2010's itinerary with the addition of activities scheduled for Thursday. This is the first time will be adding a fourth day to this event. Nothing is finalized but based on some research provided by Vinny. He discovered we can take a luncheon cruise around Lake George and later that evening we can explore Albany's nightlife & club scene.

Here is some information regarding the cruise around Lake George:

Justin, you should post something in the 3S New England forum. I don't think everyone there visits the NY and NJ forums. Usually several of us come to NEG.
