Hey everyone,

I'm starting the planning for the 2005 All Mitsu Cookout. Once again I'm trying to decide on a particular date.

Last year I had it on a Sunday. It was the Sunday after the Autovations show. It seemed to work well, but I know there were a few zombies at the Cookout who had been up really late the night before at the Autovations show. I know not a lot of you go to Autovations, but there are probably 5-10 cars at the Cookout who also go to Autovations. So Sunday, August 21st, the day after Autovations is one of the two days I'm looking at.

The other day would be the following Sunday, August 28th. My only issue with this day is that weekend is the Pro Rally up North in Bemidji. I know a few of you go to this every year, but the Pro Rally seems to have lost a lot of fans over the years and this year I don't believe there are any manufacture teams. (aka Mitsu or Subaru) So I'm not sure how many people are still going up north to spectate this year.

For a lot of you, you'll probably go to the Cookout no matter which day I choose, but I'd like to get an idea of what you prefer. I'll probably decide in the next few days, so put your vote in.

Thanks for reading,
Curt
