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

Plans are underway for the 2007 All Mitsubishi Cookout and Car Show. This year's event will be happening on Sunday, August 26th, at the Rogers Middle School, in Rogers, MN. The event will run from 11am to 4pm. We've got our two main sponsors on board again, Brookdale Mitsubishi and LSE Performance. I'm also confident that we'll beat last years record of 142 Mitsus. All the details about the All Mitsu Cookout can be found at: http://cookout.mn3s.org

If you are planning on coming, take a minute and fill out the sign up form at:

Hope to see you there,
Curt

Yay! I'll be there!

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

Count me in on this one. :-D

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

Ill be there for sure!

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

It would be sad if i can't get mine running but i'll be there if it is

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

I'll definitely be there and see if I can step up from last years trophy.

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

I will be there
with the talon and the evo III

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

I'll be there

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

If mine doesn't break again, and i can recover from the previous night (My bday) then i will be there.

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

Man, that place is horrible. There isn't a park or anything it can be done at? 5 hours is way too long also, especially in a middle school parking lot.

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

No offense Curt but I have to agree with Shane, suburban sprawl and asphalt is a bit depressing I must say. I sure miss the meets at the lake and park. :)

I don't know the first thing that goes into planning an event, just hoping future events are somewhere else. :D

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

I will show up regardless of if I have the talon any more or not, and I do like the idea of finding a park or something a little better than an asphalt parking lot

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

Hmm, I'm a little surprised at this. I had at least 20 people tell me last year how much they liked having it in a parking lot as opposed to grass like at the museum. Its much easier to organize the cars.

Its also a lot harder to have it at a park and guarantee parking for 150+ cars and have electricitiy. Most parks, if you rent the shelter, there is no guarantee on the parking spots. If you want to walk around when you are at the Cookout, there is a park right behind the Middle School.

With the great responses I got last year having it at the Middle School, we'll be having it at a school for many years to come.

later,
Curt

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

So be it, as long as the people and cars have a place to get together I'll be there. :)

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

I will be there...but my dad will be driving! :( ...long story and I don't wanna get into that one! lol

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

Nobody with DSM can commit this early, most cars will be broke and fixed ten times before then. From my experience most people will know a few days before if they will be able to make it.:nod:

I will be there though, on my bike (weather permitting).

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

I will be there.

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

just like last year when I pulled a all nighter to get my bro's engine built after I got the block back at 10 pm and had is car running and home at 5 am for a few hours of sleep. Byt the time we got there he had 30 miles on his engine

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

That was amazing last year!

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

that is one thing I will not be doing this year

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

Yeah, me and Andy (fattyboombatty) welded up my whole exhaust the night before/morning of the cookout, it was not fun adding to my welding sunburn with some more regular sunburn.

My DSM has never broken down on me. Knock on Wood. I have had it for almost three years and its never failed me. I only put about 7,000 miles a year on it, but still its never missed a beat. I should guess it might have to do with it not being heavily modified like most everyone elses on this site. I am going for looks rather than speed, so on the outside it looks pretty good, but has only the basic of mods under the hood. I guess the Engine light being on for the past two years, since I installed the JET computer, is just a light and doesn't seem to effect the way it drives.

So basically what I am saying is I should be there to show off my POS.

Once again, corporate Mitsubishi is planning on donating some cool prizes. Its gonna be awesome!

Curt

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

Even people are coming to it from the Avenger Club. This is going to be a huge turn-out.

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

Hey everyone,

We've had a lot of sign ups in the last week. We have 64 cars signed up so far. That's great. I also have a flyer put together at: http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-flyer.doc

I always keep a hand full of these in my car in case I spot a nice Mitsu somewhere. Also, if you work at a business that is car oriented, maybe print a few off and have them laying on your counter or pin one up. Any advertising you can do will help. Every year we get a few people that come to the Cookout that had no idea it existed before they got a flyer.

Thanks,
Curt

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

I just signed up!

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

I feel the parking lot was an upgrade to the grassy lot, and you have good points.

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

Hey everyone,

I received a bunch of prizes from Corporate Mitsubishi last week. Got some t-shirts, hats, a big cooler, and some smaller items.

Sign ups are looking good. I just updated the page. We've got 74 signed up so far: http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

And don't forget to hand out a flyer when ever you come across a nice Mitsu. They really do help spread the word.

Thanks,
Curt

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

Thats awesome that Mitsu is donating stuff for this! Are any of the local dealerships co-sponsoring the event again?

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

Yep. Brookdale Mitsubishi and LSE Performance are co-sponsoring again. Its gonna rock!!

Curt

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

That would be awesome! I'll probably be the only one to top you by bringing four Mitsus. ;)
