Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Can I trailer mine there? Not sure if it will be running by then.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Sure, we have room.

Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

144 huh? is that the record?

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

166 cars is the record. We set that in 2007. But we have more sign ups at this point in time, then we did in 2007. And just remember, just because someone signs up, doesn't mean they show up.

later,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

If I pick up a new car in the next few days or so, I'll be signing up also :-D

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Ahh yeah, cant wait :D

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Me too!!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Has it ever rained? I'm wondering, from a statistical standpoint, how that would affect turnout...

Well here's to a nice sunny day where we break 2007's record!! ^_^

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Registered! :-D

Thread, right meow!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

We had a couple of sprinkles last year, but it was pretty minor. We had some rain in 2001, but that was it for rain during the Cookout. We have been kind of lucky about that. Rain would be terrible. I'm sure half the people would not show up and I'd have to pay for a lot of the fixed expense myself. But this is a rain or shine event. So lets hope for the best.

Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Only 10 more days until the Cookout. We are up to 165 signups: http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

It is not too late to get signed up and come join us for an afternoon of Mitsu fun. The All Mitsu Cookout is coming up on Sunday, the 26th. We'll have some great prizes, plenty of food, and some fun stuff like the Mitsu trivia contest, and the slow drags.

Here are some reminders:

1) Sign-up online. The page is at:
http://mn3s.org/lists/?p=subscribe&id=5

2) Fill out your car sign ahead of time. It saves a lot of time in the registration line. Download the sign at:
http://www.mn3s.org/car-sign.doc

And my example sign can be found here:
http://www.mn3s.org/car-sign-curt.doc

3) Bring some lawn chairs for hanging out and bring your appetite! We'll have plenty of food.

Also, if you are just coming to spectate, there is a separate spectator lot on the back side of the school. So don't turn at the stop light at the school. Go past that and take your next right and go behind the school. The lot behind the school is for spectators. The front lot is for participants. Here is a map of the school:
http://mn3s.org/cookout-map.jpg

We will also be doing the slow drags again. It’s going for about 50 feet as slow as possible, without stopping. We'll have a trophy for the winner. It is a lot of fun.

See ya soon,
Curt

registered.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Hey Curt - Why is there a 2012 STI in the signup list? Damn Subadouchbags trying to infiltrate the Cookout! ;)

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

I saw that after the last update. I'll fix it next time I update the list. Sounds like they wished they had an EVO. ;)

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

You forgot to mention that Subarus are all meeting at the SW corner of the spectators lot for their OWN meetup...(GRIN)

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Woot! Just heard about this; registered!!!!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

A little late to the party this year, eh?

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

I saw his post last night & was thinking the same thing!! ^o^

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Car is alive, I'm planning on being there.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Cool beans!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

I'm hoping to have the 2G there after being ripped apart for almost 2 years. The engine and tranny are in, tomorrow I'm hoping to get my leaky steering rack swapped out.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Recovering from a douchebag rearending me at 45mph. Hope to get the car running this week, depending on how the back takes it. I'll sign up once I get it rolling.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

The All Mitsu Cookout is almost here. Its this Sunday from 11am to 4pm. We are up to 178 sign ups now. That is fantastic! We may get the school parking lot kind of full, so make a special effort to park in between the lines. We may need every spot in the lot.

Of course you can still sign up. The sign up page is at:
http://mn3s.org/lists/?p=subscribe&id=5

We will have a lot of prizes to give away too. We'll be randomly giving prizes away as you register at the registration tent. A big thanks to our sponsors for bringing a lot of prizes. Make sure to visit their webpages:

Modern Automotive Performance: http://www.maperformance.com/
Midwest Turbo Connection: http://midwestturboconnection.com/
White Bear Mitsubishi: http://www.whitebearautos.com/index.htm

On top of the sponsor prizes, Advance Auto Parts and Corporate Mitsubishi donated prizes!

So between all the food, great prizes, great cars, the Mitsu trivia contest, and the slow drags, it will be a fun afternoon!

See ya soon,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Sorry to hear about the accident. What terrible timing. Hope ya feel better soon.

Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Printed off my mod list sign today and going to try and detail the car on Saturday if I'm not a lazy bum. Looks like it should be an awesome day!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Man, biggest cookout yet and I have to work. :(

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Can't wait to see your black DSM all cleaned up!!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Damn I've never put any of my 7 DSMs in a cookout, i forgot about a mod list and cleaning it.

Mine will be dirty and missing body pieces in stereotypical fashion, I don't want to disappoint.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Mines still under construction at this point, but she'll make it

Will be bring the Spyder on the trailer now :(. Made 338 at Db today getting tuned. The oem oil pressure sensor blew out and pumped all the oil out on to the dyno. We got it back in and oil back in it. Still runs no rod knock but lost over 100hp. So it I will have to fix the bottom end now something got tight in there.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Hey everyone,

Only four more days! The sign ups have surged to 190. The current list is at:
http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

The parking lot at the school only has 230 parking spots, so we are going to need to be careful when parking. Don't take up two spots, and try to get yourself centered into your parking spot. If everyone does there part, we should be okay.

I never thought I'd see the day that we'd be in trouble with filling up the middle school parking lot. Its a great problem to have!

later,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26th, 2012 -- Rogers, MN
 

Damn! that's amazing, Curt! Good work getting the word out as usual.
