All Mitsubishi Cookout and Car Show -- Sunday, August 24th

[curt_gendron]

I've been looking at the sign up numbers. We have 106 so far. Here are some of the numbers by category:

1g 3/S 7
2g 3/S 11
1g DSM 6
2g DSM 16
3G Eclipse 17
4G Eclipse 6
Conquest/Starion 8
Evo 1-9 12
EVO X and Ralliart 12

I think we'll keep all of these categories, plus the "other", category this year. But with the low numbers for 1g 3/S, 1g DSM and 4G Eclipse, we'll just give a 1st place trophy for those three categories. Nine years ago, we could easily get 40-50 3/Ses and 40-50 DSMs at the Cookout. Times have changed!

later,
Curt

As of now, I plan on showing up. But I'm not a car show guy so I won't be there the whole time nor do I have a show car.

24 Evo's is just sad especially with all the traffic on Evomn.net

I will be there, but my car has been on the back burner all year with the house purchase/projects

[turbotalon1g]

House>Cars.

[goodhart]

Agreed

I have to laugh a little bit about you guys saying you have house projects that take priority over car stuff. Last year I squeezed in custom building a house in the middle of planning and putting on the Cookout. This year I'm doing a million landscaping things and still doing the Cookout. All you guys have to do is clean one car and drive it there for a day. Time to man up. :P LOL

Without sounding like an ass.... I think they were saying that fun money has been diverted to house stuff, instead of cars lately, I know a lot of mine has since purchasing a house.

But it is rather sad that only 24 people with Evo's have signed up....

Yeah, I know. Things change, priorities change and likewise, where you spend your money changes. I'm fighting those same issues. That is why its been a struggle for me to still be putting on the Cookout. But I'm hoping I can spend more time/money on the car hobby once I get through the major house stuff.

Not to be mean i have not been in a few years now i could really care less if i go and hang out in a parking lot now days. Also most people have moved on to other cars now days mitsus are dying out. I dont see many new young people buying them. Hell wed night meets have split up into small groups. Just 4 of us go to surly every week now days and the style cruises have taken a hit. I gave up and did the spring cruise a month before hand and there is no talks about a fall cruise right now. People are married now and have babys. Alys and my time is all abou the twins coming soon so car sit and the dd's get worked on not the fun cars any more.
