LOL, I remember when Mark and I brought out 1Gs fresh off some Rally action.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

That was sweet! That was also back in the day when you actually had a Mitsu you could bring to this car show! Now all you got is your POS Ford! ;)

Finally signed up, I'm such a lazy punk! I'll be there w/ my twin-turbo evo!

Hey everyone,

Only eleven days away now! We are up to 145 cars on the list. The current list is at:
http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

If you are planning on coming to the All Mitsu Cookout, here are a few things to remember:

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

2) If you have Paypal, send me your $5 registration to cgendron@mail.com (no credit cards please)

3) Fill out your car sign ahead of time. Its saves a lot of time in the registration line. Download the sign at:

And my example sign can be found here:

Once again, here are the classes for the show this year:

Best 90-94 DSM
Best 95-99 DSM
Best 00-05 Eclipse/Stratus coupe
Best 91-93 3/S
Best 94-99 3/S
Best Evo
Best Classic Mitsu (89 and older)
Best Other Mitsu
The "Gene Helms" Cleanest Car Overall

And finally, we are going to have a little fun competition this year. We are going to have a slow drags race. Two lines will be drawn in the parking lot. (40 feet apart) The objective will be to go from one line to the next as slowly as possible without stopping or hitting your brakes. Those with really soft clutch pedals will have good cars for this race. We'll probably do the slow drags around 2:30pm. So practice driving like a granny. ;)

later,
Curt

I can't remember if I said I am coming or now, but I won't be in attendance this year since I'll be up north dominating at a pizza eating/beer drinking contest.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

Hmmm....my twin disk isn't going to work too well in that competition :D

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

hehe, probably not. Unless you are good at leg pressing 500 lbs. ;)

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

Its very tempting to come out there. If it was not for the 938 mile drive I would be there !

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

Yea that would only be if I showed up with something Japanese, and I will. :) haha

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

Green 8g es > you :)

Hey guys,

I picked up the trophies. I customized them a little more this year. I think they turned out great. Here is a pic:

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

Looks good! Out of curiosity, did you have to get written permission from Mitsu before the trophy shop could use the logo?

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

Nope, the shop that made the decal for the trophy doesn't care. I don't think Mitsu would care, since no one is really making any kind of profit here. Besides, since I'm on a first name basis with the VP of Mitsubishi Motors of North America, I think I'll be safe. ;)

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

the one on the far right is the trophy for my own category, right? haha jk

they look good.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

:biggrin: Good one! We'll call it the Pete "special" award.

Its actually the long distance award. Should be interesting who gets it this year. I know a couple people from central Iowa coming, and someone from Northern Illinois. Not sure if anyone will beat that or not.

later,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

Those trophies look pretty sweet. I wish I could have my roof and bumpers painted by the time of the show so I could stand a chance of winning one, but that probably won't happen.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

Doubt my car will be there, but hey, you never know.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

Just signed up twice, once for the talon and once for the galant. Does that mean I owe ya 10 bucks then?

Also, this will be my first one, so how does it work as far as food and everything. Does that entrance fee mean that myself and one friend get to eat all day, or whatever? Just curious.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

How about shortest distance award....AJ, Curt, or Shane can duke it out :D

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN
 

I think I'd win. Its about 7 blocks. W00t!!
