I agree, fun time and a lot of EVOs. I think I counted 18 or so at one time.

Some very nice cars there. I am a little dissapointed that I didnt get to see Josh's and Steve's cars this year though.

It was a lot of fun, thanks Curt for setting it up! I was actually surprised how few 1Gs and 3/S's were there. Maybe everyone is moving on to Evo's.... But there were still A LOT of cars there. Any official number?

Who won cleanest 1g? I was really wanting to place in that category, but well I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Best 1g went to some unknown guy with a very nice GT42R setup. Jason Leasure or something like that.

Meh, technicalities. It was big, nonetheless.

Mark Leasure? Bought a car from him.

Mark Leasure · 08-24-2006

I just want to clear the air. I now know how rumors get started.

I fabricated/modified everything on the car myself. I have been into DSM for just under a decade. Rick only helped rebuild my transmissions, this was many years ago, now I do all of my own work.

I’m an electrical engineer not an automotive engineer. I am a member of SAE though if it makes any difference (for work).

The PTE GT4067R is big, however not like the monster GT42R. The way history goes I’m sure I will be updating it to a 42R. I think 700 HP causes enough problems as it is, I cannot imagine what 900 or more would do.

It was a great show thanks to all who put it on.

I thought it hadn't been on a dyno? I think you better come to the dyno shootout and back that number up!

I am happy with my lowly 3rd place, but I hadn't done anything to the car except run it through a car wash.

I didn't mean you were one by trade, but don't you have an automotive engineering degree? As far as I care, if you have the degree you are one

Mark Leasure · 08-24-2006

It is a good guess, it was for conversation sake. It has not been on a dyno and it probably will never be on one.

Are there any pictures anywhere of this car?

9guy9 · 08-19-2006

I'm not sure who won the 1g. but I was questioning peoples voting. The guy with the super clean black Conquest won over all cleanest car, but didn't get a trophy for the conquest class? A guy with a super clean EVO with more mods than most didn't get a trophy, but the guy who put the mitsu rali art stickers on his otherwise stock red one did? The top 2 2G's were pretty ricey both with body kits.

But over all it was a great time with lots of nice cars. Thanks again Curt, this just keeps getting bigger every year. Like others have said you can really see how the EVO's are taking over (I almost brought mine). But at the same time the reamaining older cars are getting nicer. Most of the 1G's were pretty clean cars. I guess the ones that havn't been taken care of are dying off.

If you win "cleanest car overall" you can't win the trophy for the class. Jim's Conquest would have easily won with 53 votes.

The EVO won because it stands out more. A lot of those EVOs look a like because they are so new, the paint jobs are all in good shape. Long's EVO just stood out more. I was pleased with the way the trophies went.

Thanks to everyone who came out. We had 142 cars there. I'll post more later.....

I would of brought both of my 1Gs but then worked from 10-2... looks fun! I'll show up in future events! Looks Awesome!

GSeXy16G · 08-20-2006

Hey, I just had to register to say thanks to everyone for puting this on. It was a great time and I look forward to all the future events.

Shane55113 · 08-20-2006

That was a great, soo many evo's i want one really bad now. The food was good, and did i mention how many evo's there were!

**JET** · 08-20-2006

Thanks for putting it on Curt, we had a great time!

AJ you prick, you didn't get a pic of my car!

curt_gendron · 08-20-2006

Hey everyone,

Thanks to all who came out to the Cookout. It was a great event. We had 142 cars in the show. I especially want to thank all the volunteers I had this year. Chris D, Ross, Andy P, Dave, Steve, Matt D, Ed, John S, Oskar, Mike W and of course Stacy. You were all part of the success of this event. I actually had time to go look at the cars and enjoy the afternoon.

Also a big thanks to LSE Performance and Brookdale Mitsubishi. If you wonder why this Cookout is so cheap, our sponsors are the reason why. (or maybe its because I use bricks and duct tape to create signs)

Anyways, here are the pictures from the Cookout:

Booo. I really wanted to make it but had it on my calendar as Sunday, not Saturday. I couldn't bow out of a golf game for my buddy's birthday. I guess I'll start shining up my car for next year.
