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: Dynamic Racing, 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.

Wasn't Keith Upton's car in a magazine recently?

I really wish I could make it this year but the drive is little far and I can't get the time off from work which sucks.

Yes, Keith's car was in Modified a few months ago. He took all of the pictures you saw in that article.

NJ's not that far and the way this event is shaping up it will be worth the trip.

Well maybe. Depends on if I change jobs or not.



Total Est. Time: 16 hours, 35 minutes

Total Est. Distance: 1059.98 miles
... maybe.

Yeah, that's one hell of a drive right there. I wish I could get over there. I'm hoping for 09.

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.

RPS is now a sponsor. They are giving us :

Discount Tire is now a sponsor.


We have moved the Car show to Saturday afternoon and added a Swap Meet on Thursday evening http://www.3si.org/forum/f1/ng-schedule-ch...ll-love-419710/

Can't afford the full registration? Can't come in for the full week? We've added a "Weekender" discounted package. http://www.3si.org/forum/f1/ng08-weekender-package-419714/

No reason you can't fly in for NG09

I've talked to some of the guys that went and every single one of them loved it. Thumbs up from me to you and Lori and the rest of you planners for putting on a quality gathering.

I'm planning on going to 09. This year financially would not have been a smart move.

Start saving now ;)
