All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 23rd -- Rogers, MN - Page 6

curt_gendron · 08-21-2009

Hey everyone,

The All Mitsu Cookout is almost here!! Its this Sunday from 11am to 4pm. I've updated the sign up list. We have surged up to 139!! Looking good.

If you haven't signed up and are still thinking about coming, you still can. We can handle walk ups just fine. The weather is looking fantastic this weekend. There is no reason not to come and spend an afternoon with a bunch of other Mitsu nuts.

Registration will be a little different this year. When you get to the school, we will collect the money and hand out wristbands at the entrance to the lot. Then you'll go park your car in the appropriate row. After that, you'll take your car sign and wristband up to the registration desk and get your car number and voting slip.

If you are coming, without a Mitsu, you can just drive to the back of the school and park. If you are eating you can still pay and get a wristband at the registration table.

If you are interested in the dinner on Saturday night, for the out of towners, we are meeting at 6:30pm. We will be eating at Davanni's, in Rogers. A map and details are at the bottom of the Cookout page: http://cookout.mn3s.org

See ya soon,
Curt

The dinner is the night before the Cookout. DiMaggio's has good pizza, but there seating area isn't the greatest. We have the party room reserved at Davanni's.

Oh crap, I misread, I won't be able to make it to dinner on Sat night.

Hey everyone,

I have the trophy winners and my pictures up from the Cookout. They are here:
http://mn3s.org/cookout2009/index.html

I added links to pics of individual cars, for most of the trophy winners. There are a few I wasn't sure of, or didn't have a pic. At the bottom of the page is a link to another page of pics that Alesia gave me. She took pics of virtually every car. So if you know of a trophy winner that didn't have a link, send me the picture number, if you see it.

We had a great turnout this year. There was more cars than last year. We ended up with 140 registered Mitsus there. And with my cars and the other Mitsus there we ended up with around 150 cars. We had a ton of spectators too. We ended up feeding 325 people. That is awesome! We had another perfect weather day too. Thanks for everyone that made the trip out.

Big thanks to Brookdale Mitsubishi and Modern Automotive Performance. They were our main sponsors this year. Also thanks to Brent Rau for coming and showing off his sweet drag car. Brent will be racing that thing up at BIR on Labor Day.

I also had another hard working group of volunteers. Andy, Derek, Ryan T, and Flip ran the registration desk. Steve and Mike W helped out collecting money at the entrance. Plus Ed, Stacy and Christine handled the food. Plus a bunch of other people helped with setup and tear down. I couldn't even attempt to do the Cookout anymore without there help. THANK YOU!

Hopefully next year we can find some even more ways to make the Cookout bigger and better.

later,
Curt

Took my sweet ass time but got the evo washed, clay-bared, polished, waxed, and detailed. It is my year-round daily driver, and this the one time each year I make sure to just clean the car until my shoulders hurt and my fingers feel like they're gonna fall off. It always amazes me how much crap gets into every nook and cranny!

Chairs, tent, camera and sunscreen loaded up and ready to rock. See you all tomorrow!
