Hey everyone,

We are almost there! August 23-24 is right around the corner. I've updated the sign up list. We have 140 signed up now:

Links to the maps for both DB Performance and the school are on the main Cookout page, but I made a map of Rogers, with the key locations marked:

And here is a close up of the Rogers Middle School and how the cars will be arranged at the Cookout. Its the same as last year:

I've also put in the order for t-shirts. I'm ordering 90 of them. You can do the math to figure out that we'll run out. If you want to reserve your shirt, you need to pre-pay. Send me a paypal with your Cookout payment and your t-shirt payment and save yourself the agony of not getting a shirt.
And, of course, its not to late to sign up. The sign-up page is at:

The All Mitsu Cookout is one of the largest Mitsubishi events in the country. Don't miss out.

Well, it's getting closer but the weather ain't looking so good. Past 2 years I've been there the weather was just perfect, let's hope that weather pattern continues.

:cool:

It was nice but it was windy.. I remember a guys carbon fiber hood blowing up and then it slammed down. No damage done though.

There are no stations in Rogers with E85. One in Elk River and a couple in Plymouth: http://e85vehicles.com/e85-minnesota.htm

And its waaaay to early to be looking at the weather. They barely have a clue what the weather is going to be like in two days. The entire All Mitsu Weekend is a rain or shine event. So bite down and take it. ;)

Only a week left now. I made a few updates to the schedule at: http://mn3s.org/cookout-schedule.html On Friday night, the 22nd, we'll be having dinner at Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant in Rogers at 7pm. If you are coming to this, let me know so I can give them an accurate reservation count.

During the Dyno Challenge on Saturday, we'll have pop, water, and pizza available. Pop and water will be 50 cents. Pizza (Dominos) will be $2 a slice. You also might want to bring a lawn chair or two for hanging out for the day. We can still handle a few more cars on the dyno. Send me an e-mail if you want to dyno. Its only $60 for three runs. We'll be leaving DB Performance at 5pm on Saturday, the 23rd, for Wagners Drive-In for some supper. Bring an FRS radio, if you have one, for the cruise on Saturday.

Of course, Sunday, the 24th, is the All Mitsu Cookout. Here is a good check list:

1) Sign up if you haven't already, its easy, just go to:
http://mn3s.org/lists/?p=subscribe&id=5

2) Prepay your $5 by sending me a paypal to cgendron@mail.com

3) Fill out your car sign. Download the sign and fill it out:

Curt, so on that list, is that the order that we are dynoing? First one's up at 10? Or can we pick a time?

We'll start with AWD cars first, then FWD. So if you want to pick a spot, you can.

I guess I'd like to get up on there right at about noon if you have a noon slot open.

[curt_gendron]

I probably won't make an exact list until the actual dyno day. So just find me when you get there and I'll pencil you in for around noon.
