The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

Well I figured I'd give everyone a place to recap on the event. I stopped by for a short while with Jana and have a few thoughts on it.

First, Curt, you do a remarkable job with this event. Everyone who surrounds you putting this together should be thanked over and over. Just driving by the first time you can see the huge turnout and large number of people having a good time.

There was a lot of nice cars there, many of which I can say I have no clue who they are. Then I also saw some old timers rides still in tact as well. I think I even saw Chris Johnson wandering around today at the cookout. He put the first DSM mod on my car 8 years ago when I was a Newb.

Some nice paint jobs and overall you can see many people still care about giving love to a 17 year old car. The only thing I don't think I cared for was the select cars bump'n the tunes. Call me old, but I wanted to stab the speakers. ;) :D

Nice to see Johns Galant out there today, can't wait to see it running. Did MAP ever show up? I didn't see any of the crew, nor either car (blue 1G and RX7). Love seeing Mark's Evo again and again. :D lol And i must saw, Scheides EVO actually looked like he washed it ;) over and over again. That fuck'er was clean!



Can't wait to get back in the game again (it's coming soon)!

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

MAP did show up with both cars. It was a great time!

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

Damn, we missed that then. What time did those guys roll in with the car?

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

Was some very nice rides out at the event. Met Scheides and he was really friendly. It was nice to put a face to a name for once haha.

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

So who has the pics?

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

A bunch of us owned the 3rd place awards.

Myself, Ass Hanson, and TKR, all took 3rd in our categories. Ylimert won 1st, and so did Ricer Pete! Was great seeing everyone. Time to bathe in some aloe!

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

Where were you, I was there all day and didn't see the two of you.

Curt and the gang put on a good show. You really can't beat the price. :D

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

I swear it was around 230 right before the slow race when MAP showed up. I got 2nd place for the 2Gs. It was a great show.

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

Wish I could have made it but my Talon is at Roseville Chrysler getting a new transfer case (coming up on week 3 without it...). Sounds like I missed out on a good event.

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

Hey guys,

Great time today. We had a HUGE turnout. I think the official car count was 166! That doesn't include spectator only cars. I'll have some pics and more details later.

Time to rest.. ;)

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

I had a great time! I'm so glad I went. It felt good to actually see people looking at my car and not just walking by it. Is there a seperate thread for pics, or are we posting them in this thread?

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!

AWD Spyders FTW! :)

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

Wow those are some nice cars!! This was the first cookout that I have been to and I would have to say that is was a blast. Alot of nice cars there. THANKS for the duffle bag, I think that I might fill it up with tools and keep it in my trunk.

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

You should have let me use your suspension for the show :)

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

So, anyone hear why Rau never showed up?

Uploading pics now....

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

Good time, Ylime, now you need a 50 shot and your car will be perfect.
Blageo underhood on your car was awesome there was so much room and so clean, then that ricey 2G had everything and anything he could fit under the hood there.
B-man, loved the bobby brown music you had.
I dipped early to see the wheels of Italy car show at lake calhoun, ferraris, lambo's, maserati's, if it was italian and had wheels it was there.
Good ass day for me, also discovered that stock '05 vipers aren't too bad to frum roll. (everyone should try it)

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

Ya I was going to ask you, did you have that thing up on jackstands? :hah:

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

We were there for a quick minute before heading out to uptown, and it looked like a great event once again. I heared rumors of Rau showing up w/ his car.... Anything of the sort go down?

::ninja edit:: The Sheidster beat me to it :p

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

NO! I actually installed a 3 inch lift kit just for the show. :)

Thanks! From my point of view I have seen the car go form alot to alittle(in the engine bay) and I just dont notice it as much(if ya know what i mean). So I still feel there is too much going on under there and its needs to be more gutted and cleaned up

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

Thanks again Curt! I can't remember how many of these I have been too, but quite a few. You better give the Evo's 2 lines next year! Next year I will get my filthy pig into show shape again. I had to take off early though, loose flywheel bolts FTL!!

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

I had a good time again for the 3rd time, my girlfriend and I put a lot of hard time and effort into getting my new turbo setup for the cookout! We had a great time! whoot whoot!

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

Anyone see or get a pic of the newer 3000GT that had the black part of the headlights removed? It was the first time I have ever seen that and it looked really nice.

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
 

I had a great time! Thanks Curt for setting this up, its great there are more and more cars here every year.

Re: The 2007 Cookout Recap!
