All Mitsu Cookout -- August 23rd, 2015 -- Ramsey, MN

[curt_gendron]

Plans are underway for the 2015 All Mitsubishi Cookout and Car Show. The All Mitsu Cookout is a once a year show for all Mitsu built vehicles. There is no car show like this anywhere and no bigger Mitsu event in the Upper Midwest!

This year's event is happening on Sunday, August 23rd from 11am to 4pm. We have a brand new location. It will be at Ramsey Central Park, in Ramsey, MN. This park offers a large paved parking lot and a really nice pavilion right next to the parking lot. There is also a fair number of trees around the lot for some shade. There are bathrooms attached to the pavilion also. It will be a great spot!

The official sign up for the Cookout and other details can be found at: http://cookout.mn3s.org

We also have a Facebook event to get info from. It is at: https://www.facebook.com/events/456704797830421/

Come enjoy the day with your fellow Mitsu nuts!

Looks like we have 59 people signed up as of today. If you know you are coming, what are you waiting for??

White Bear Mitsubishi is a main sponsor again this year. A big thanks to them for their continued support! I would love to have more sponsors. If you run a company and would like to support the All Mitsu Cookout, send me a message at cgendron@mail.com I'll let you know the details of sponsoring and what it gives you.

If we can secure at least one more main sponsor, I think I can keep the cost of the All Mitsu Cookout down to $5 a person.

Thanks,
Curt

I've updated the sign up page again. We are at 97 sign ups now.

Don't wait to get officially signed up. If you know you are coming, get signed up at: http://mn3s.org/lists/?p=subscribe&id=5

In the next couple of weeks I'll be finalizing the categories. If you don't sign up, you may find your car is in the "Other Mitsu" class.

Also, several years ago Gearbox Magazine interviewed me about the Cookout. Its a good read at: http://www.gearboxmagazine.com/an-un...tsu-cookout-3/ Its especially a good read if you want to cyber stalk me.

We had a lot of sign ups over the weekend. At 104 now: http://mn3s.org/wordpress/?page_id=1180

Keep bugging your Mitsu friends!

Looks like the sign ups are at 106 now. I updated the page. I also did some analysis of the sign ups. Here is the breakdown:

1g DSM.........5
2g DSM........11
1g 3/S.........4
2g 3/S........10
3g Eclipse....10
4g Eclipse.....7
StarQuest......5
EVO 1-9.......16
EVO 10........17
Ralliart.......7
Others........14

I will be making decisions on the classes for the show next week. For groups with 7+ cars, we will have a category for you. If you have 10+ cars, we'll have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies. Those with 7-9 might just have 1st place. If you have less than 7 cars, you may get lumped in with another group. So if you want to see your platform with its own class, help me get some more of them signed up!

If you haven't signed up yet, the sign up page is at: http://mn3s.org/lists/?p=subscribe&id=5

Thanks,
Curt

We are doing t-shirts this year! They will be $20 a piece. The small profit on them are going towards funding the All Mitsu Cookout. And hopefully getting the Cookout price down to $5.

The t-shirts we will be using are Gilden Ultra Cotton. I will offer two color choices. A grey and a light grey (Sport Grey and Ash are the Gilden colors if you want to look them up) So chime in on this thread or email me your order at cgendron@mail.com These are men's shirts in S, M, L, XL, XXL. You can pay for them at the Cookout. If you don't pay and pick them up by half way through the Cookout, they will be offered up to others. I'll probably make a few extras, but don't bet on getting one unless you commit to ordering one. Thanks! Orders will be taken until Tuesday, August 4th.
