Yep, you can pay at the event. I just try and get as many pre-pays as possible, because it speeds things up at the Cookout. But if you haven't signed up, you should do that ahead of time at:
http://mn3s.org/lists/?p=subscribe&id=5

Signing up doesn't require that you pay. They are two seperate things.

Thanks,

Also, I've been working on the cruise for after the Dyno Challenge. We'll be leaving DB Performance at 5pm to start the cruise. We'll be taking some rural roads and then eventually work our way down to Wagner's Drive In, in Brooklyn Park. The cruise is probably only 20 miles, but it will be awesome to have a huge number of Mitsus cruising together. So if you want to cruise with us, make sure to be at DB Performance at 5pm. And bring an FRS radio if you have one. With a big group like this, we'll need FRS radios to keep everyone together. Here is a link to Wagner's Drive In:

I cancelled my motorcycle basics course for this weekend so maybe I may make it to the cookout after all.

Just not sure if my car will be ready by then though. :-( (still have the front bumper to deal with)

If not, I can always bring the Diamante instead of the Eclipse (just won't be the same though).

A front bumper isn't required to be a part of the cookout! ;)

LOL. Very true. Remember John's GVR4 from last year:
