All Mitsu Cookout -- August 26, 2007 -- Rogers, MN - Page 3

curt_gendron · 07-10-2007

I just updated the sign up page. We are up to 81 sign ups!!

The price for the Cookout is $5 again. That includes you, your car, one passenger, and all the food you can eat. It would really help if you prepaid using paypal. My paypal is cgendron@mail.com If you pre-pay it helps speed up the registration process the day of the show. If you don't have paypal, don't sweat it, just pay at the event.

We are less than seven weeks away now!

Hey everyone,

Thanks to those that sent a paypal in the last week or so. I've had a bunch of them. Looks like we have 97 sign ups. The updated list is at:
http://mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

We are still on pace to get around 150 cars there, which is awesome. But don't forget to keep bugging your friends that own Mitsus. Lets try and get as many cars as we can together. Its gonna be fun!

Curt

I'll be there, but I agree about having it in a parking lot isn't that great of an idea. For 5 hours?
But, I do understand about the park issues.
I'll still be there though...
(car permitting)

I was just looking through the sign ups and noticed that the 87 Mitsu Van just signed up. So Pete and anyone else in the "other" category, you better bring your "A" game.

Hey everyone,

The sign-ups keep piling up. We are up to 124 cars on the list. The current list is at:
http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

We are a little over three weeks away now. If you are planning on coming, don't forget to sign up:
http://mn3s.org/lists/?p=subscribe&id=5

One thing to start thinking about is your car sign. You can fill out your sign ahead of time. Then when you check in, the day of the show, all I need to give you is your car number. Here is the car sign you can download:

And my example sign can be found here:

Thanks,
Curt

My laser won't be up there, but I'm still hoping to go with my Avenger.

It's a Mitsu/Chrysler mix too.

There is no official cruise after the Cookout. But a couple of times, someone has put one together. I've got a ton of work to do after the Cookout, so there is no way I can do anything like that.

But I hear that I-94 looks like a Mitsu dealership after the Cookout, as everyone gets on the freeway at the same time.

How many more Galants will it take so they have their own category, so Pete doesn't have to compete against the van again?

LOL. There are only a few Galants signed up so far. We'd need about 10 to show up before I'd give them there own category. I don't think that will happen. Maybe we should just make a category with just Pete in it. Then he might win.

j/k

Chukee_R · 08-06-2007

20 days!

Hopefully my car will be sorted out by then.

**Halon** · 08-06-2007

How many are signed up so far? I have a 01 ES Galant witha fram air filter in it, and drifting scratches in the front bumper. If that makes 10, I'll sign it up!

curt_gendron · 08-08-2007

Hey everyone,

Not much time until the Cookout. I was adding up the sign-ups, and came up with some interesting stats. I added up the numbers (134 sign ups) and came up this breakdown:

DSMs........51
3/Ses........30
EVOs.........25
3g Eclipse...10
Galants......6
StarQuest...4
Galant VR4..2
Avengers....2
Diamante....2
the Van......1

Only 18 days left now.

I'm in, haven't been on here for a long time. Going to sign up, but pay when I get there if that's okay? I had fraud and deleted my paypal. Think my other buddy is planning to go also from Eau Claire. LSE is tuning it right now (black 91tsi fwd). That should be fun when it's done.

See you guys.

what if your car has no bumper and barely runs to make it, is there a class for that? I think there should be a trophy for best turbo turd, lol. what about the most ozone unfriendly?

98gstaherns · 08-11-2007

Yep that's the night I come home. 3 years running I haven't been able to make. Oh well. Plus my Mitsu is here in Virginia. There's always next year.

There isn't a turbo turd class, but you can still bring your car if its a work in progress. We've had cars show up on trailers, that weren't planned that way. We've had cars missing bumpers and missing a good car wash.

All Mitsus are welcome.
