Planning has begun on the 2011 All Mitsubishi Cookout and Car Show. This year's event is on Sunday, August 28th, 2011. The event will run from 11am to 4pm at the Rogers Middle School in Rogers, MN. And once again we have our two main sponsors back, Brookdale Mitsubishi and Modern Automotive Performance.

The All Mitsu Cookout is an afternoon filled with some great Mitsubishis on display. It is both a car show and a huge BBQ. Plus we give away some cool prizes and trophies. We are hoping to have another great turnout.

The page to sign up and check out all the other details is at: http://cookout.mn3s.org

Thanks,

I'll see about showing up with a dented door and stealing a trophy again.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

I never been to this kind of event before and Im looking forward too.I registered, but do I have to show off my car? My car is nothing special to show.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Trust me there will be worse there I'm sure, just go ahead and register it!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

I remember pictures of beer bottles and whatnot going through a strut tower on my old Talon. Bring what you got and pop the hood to show off the oil grime!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

I will bring my beater if the motor tranny hold up till then.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

I registered, but when i checked who all was registered it was the list from 2010? are we signing up right?

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Yep, you are signing up right. The page with all the sign ups is a page I have to manually create by cutting and pasting out of the database. So I only do it once in awhile. I didn't do it when I created the other page, because we didn't have anyone signed up yet. And I've been too lazy to do it since then. So far, we have 23 people signed up.

Thanks,
Curt

The current link for the list of people that are signed up is from last year. Maybe this year I will have my hood up since there will actually be something to look at under there now.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Yeah dude show up and hang out!

You dont have to show off your car or even pop your hood, but still park in your apropriate row and hang out with everyone. It's a really good time and probably one of the largest mitsu gatherings all year!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Hey everyone,

Things are coming along good for the Cookout. I have the sign up sheet updated. We have 30 cars signed up so far. The current list is at:

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

It doesnt mater if your car is a rust bucket, my ride was pretty much stock the last 2 years. I didn't open my hood, I just showed up to scope everyones elses setups, the dual fuel rail 1g was my fav last year. Can you say sick!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Hey everyone,

Just updated the sign up list. We've got 52 cars signed up already. Looking good.

If you need to get pumped up for this event, just surf on over and watch the video from last year:

Also, I have the flyer created. It is at:
http://mn3s.org/cookout-flyer.doc

I'd really like us to set a new record for Mitsus there. The record is 166 cars. So make sure to tell your friends and give out some flyers where ever you can.

later,
Curt

Well, I'm showing up and if I lose at least it won't be so bad losing to another Mitsu...

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Im curious on how you will be doing the voting this year? Last year i could not vote for anyone because it was online voting. My phone does not have internet just because i unlocked it for a different carrier. just wondering..... :)

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Voting will be the same as last year. We'll have a page set up for people with internet phones to put there votes in. If you don't have internet or can't figure it out, the folks at the registration desk can enter your votes. You'll get a voting slip, with a code on the bottom. Fill out the voting slip, then enter it yourself or bring it to registration.

Thanks,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Hey everyone,

Sign up numbers are looking good. We are up to 68 sign ups.

I've got a hotel secured for the out of town owners. We'll be using the Hampton Inn, in Rogers, again. We have an $89 group rate. Just mention the Rogers car show when booking your room. You'll need to book by August 13th to get the group rate. More details are at the bottom of the Cookout page at: http://cookout.mn3s.org

Don't forget to help me get the word out. I'd really like to see the All Mitsu Cookout grow. But I can't do it on my own. I'll probably be handing out 50 flyers at Car Craft this weekend. Do your part and make sure all your Mitsu buddies know about the Cookout and convince them to come. Here is a link to the flyer:

Thanks,
Curt

Midwest Turbo Connection: http://midwestturboconnection.com/
I like this sponsor already! If it turns out my turbo is bunring oil again I will be using them for a rebuild kit and balancing.

We can vote without a smart phone correct? I don't plan on getting one anytime soon so...

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Just signed up, this year my car will be there

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Yes. If you don't have a phone with internet, you can just fill out your voting slip like normal, and give it to the registration desk and they will enter it for you.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

We are up to 74 sign ups now! Only about a month away.

Don't forget that you can prepay for the Cookout with paypal. The All Mitsu Cookout is only $5 to be in the show and all the food you can eat. You are also eligible for the prizes. Its a heck of a value. You can send your paypal to: cgendron@mail.com

See ya soon,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Ha that was sweet

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

We are up to 80 sign ups now! The current list is at: http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

We'll also be doing the online voting again. Every registered car will get a voting slip with a code on it. You walk around and vote honestly for your favorite car in each category and write their car number down on the slip. Once you are done, you can go online with your phone and enter your votes yourself. If you don't have an internet phone, someone at the registration desk can enter your votes too.

Less than four weeks away now! Hope to see a great turnout.

later,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Just make sure you have lot's of friends to vote for you. Technically a junk yard car that has to be trailered in could win if you got everyone to vote for it?

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

I'd like to see people take the voting a little more serious, or don't bother voting. About 90% of the winners are right on and I'd totally agree with. But once in a while someone gets a bunch of votes which are obviously from all of there friends.

So this goes out to everyone coming to the Cookout... Don't make a joke out of what I'm trying to do here. Vote seriously, or don't vote at all.

Thanks,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

^ That didn't happen last year or anything ;)

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

I'm hoping to make it again this year. Thinking about taking my Talon for a change. Let's hope I have the funds to make 'er!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Hey everyone,

The Cookout is only 2.5 weeks away now. Looks like we are up to 97 sign ups.

I've finalized the categories for the show. We will keep the same categories as last year. We'll have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies except for the cleanest car overall and the Galant category. The Galant category is going to be small, so we'll just do 1st for that one. Here are the categories:

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 I to IX
Best Evo X
Best Galant (1st place trophy only)
Best Other Mitsu
The "Gene Helms" Cleanest Car Overall

Also, our block of rooms at the Hampton Inn go away on August 13th. So any out-of-towners looking for a room, book it now!

Thanks,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Only 11 more days until the Cookout. We are up to 105 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 28th. 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) 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. 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

4) 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.

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

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 28th, 2011 -- Rogers, MN
 

Less than a week away from the Cookout!! Did you get signed up? Do you have you sign printed off? Got the car cleaned up yet? (yeah, me neither. LOL)
