Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Can I sign up at the cookout? I plan on attending but have no pay palz.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

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,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008

3. Brandon Halonen -- 91 Talon TSI AWD
4. Mike Standaert -- 03 EVO 8
5. Meng Lor -- 96 Eclipse GST
6. Josh Kajer -- 93 3000GT VR4
7. Mike Austing -- 94 3000GT VR4

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:

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

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).

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

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

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

LOL. Very true. Remember John's GVR4 from last year:
http://mn3s.org/cookout2007/images/P8260017.JPG

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Funny. :bengals:

I would like to help represent the 4g so it would be cool to have it ready by then. I will be in Vegas next week and then would have that week to get the new front bumper installed and painting the rear bumper.

I'm crossing my fingers.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Now that's a good one.
Why should I even worry about the front bumper? :seeya:

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Booked the hotel today. I'm ready!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

ha they should have parked it in the handicapped spot!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

lol

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

I got my mod list ready today!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

My cookout car sign no longer says "Minnesota 3/S"...sorry Curt :D

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Hehe.. Thats fine.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

I can't attend the cookout due to me going outside of state that very morning, but will like to attend the curise with everyone. Never been in a cruise with all Mitsu.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Just plan on being at DB Performance before 5pm on Saturday the 23rd. The cruise isn't super long. Probably only about 20 miles. But with a huge line of Mitsus, it should be a lot of fun.

later,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

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:
http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

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:
http://mn3s.org/cookout-map2008.jpg

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:
http://mn3s.org/school2008.jpg

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:
http://mn3s.org/lists/?p=subscribe&id=5

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

Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

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:

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

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.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

I dont know if its been asked but is there any near by E85 stations

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

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. ;)

Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Hey everyone,

I've got the trophies done. Here is a pic:
http://mn3s.org/trophies2008.jpg

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:
http://www.mn3s.org/car-sign.doc
My example sign is at:
http://www.mn3s.org/car-sign-curt.doc

4) Pack up your sunscreen, lawn chairs and your appetite. Its gonna be a fun Mitsu weekend.

Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

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?

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

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

later,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

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

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

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.

later,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Looks like I'll be last place if that's the case.

FWD :whoo:

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Curt, as of right now you can pull me off the Dyno list, as well as the Cookout list. God has struck me down yet again.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Sorry to hear that.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Hey everyone,

The All Mitsu Weekend is only a few days away now. I've updated the sign up page. We have 153 signed up:
http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

I'd also like to thank our main sponsor, Brookdale Mitsubishi, for coming through once again and being our main sponsor. Also, DB Performance is a new sponsor this year. Thanks to them for supporting. Also, I think I forgot to mention that Corporate Mitsubishi sent some good prizes again this year.

You still have time to sign up for the Cookout and send me your $5 via Paypal. After that, get your car sign downloaded and fill it out. If you are coming to the Dyno Challenge on Saturday, you can get your car registered for the Cookout on Sunday. Just come up to the tent. This will cut down on the lines for Sunday.

Thanks,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Do you still have dyno slots open?

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Hopefully I'll have my car back for this...

I got lazy again, and had my car in to Luther Mitsu for the clutch hydraulics, wheel bearing, both major recalls (t-case and ball joints), and a wash. Though it's highly unlikely that I'd have everything done by the Sunday if I did it myself.

Such is the way of the noob.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 24th, 2008
 

Yep, after updating the list, we only have 15 people signed up to dyno. We can probably handle at least five more. Do you want to be added to the list Mike?

later,
Curt
