Hey guys,

I updated the attendee list a few days ago:
http://www.mn3s.org/attendees2004.html

We've got 54 Mitsus signed up to come. (As of today) This is well ahead of last year's sign ups at this point in the game. We're gonna smash the old record of 100 cars.

There are two people signed up from the Fargo/Moorhead area so far. You guys could even caravan down here. That would make the day that much more fun.

The only problem for us is, we're already taking quite a while to go to the DSM Shootout, and this would be immediatley after it.

I understand. Its a lot of driving to do the shootout and the All Mitsu Cookout. Of course not all DSM and Mitsu owners are going to the Shootout. I wish there could be more space between the events, but its just the way it worked out this year.

Hey everyone,

I've finalized the categories for the All Mitsu Cookout. Here they are:

Best 90-94 DSM
Best 95-99 DSM
Best 00+ Eclipse/Stratus coupe
Best 91-93 3/S
Best 94-99 3/S
Best Evo *
Best Classic Mitsu (89 and older)
Best Other Mitsu *
The "Gene Helms" Cleanest Car Overall

• The Evo and Other category may be lumped together. So far there are not enough EVOs for there own category.

We will have trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for all categories except Cleanest Car. That is only a 1st place trophy. All voting is done by the participants. So far we have 64 people signed up and we still have a month to go!!

Well, if you get 3 or 4 more of them to sign up in the next week, then the EVOs will have there own category. I'm guessing we'll have a few more show up the day of the show, but I can't count on that when I make the trophies, so I need them signed up now.

Last year the "EVOs and others" were only 6 or 7 cars, so with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies, you still have a fighting chance at some hardware.

[YellowEvo]

Hey everyone,

I always keep forgeting to talk about the prizes for the All Mitsu Cookout. Brookdale Mitsubishi is providing a ton of prizes again this year. They are really stepping up to the plate to make sure The Cookout is a huge success. I know for sure we have a set of 2G DSM floor mats to give away and several sets of binoculars to give away, plus a bunch of things I don't even know about.

Jack, at Mitsubishi Specialties will be at the Cookout too. He sells some nice Vacumn hose reduction kits for the 3/S. He'll be selling those, plus have some vouchers to give away for free kits.

QPR will be donating some prizes too. They have some hose kits from Hose Techniques and might have some other goodies to give away too. Stay tuned.

I've also finalized the price of the Cookout. It will again be $5. You can pay the day of the show, but it would make my life easier if you paid in advance. You can send me a Paypal to [email protected] Make sure to include your full name. By pre-paying, it makes the registration process the day of the show go a lot quicker.

We are only about three weeks away now!!

Hey guys,

Looks like only Joe and Mitch are signed up from the Fargo/Moorhead area. Any others coming?? We are under three weeks away from the largest Mitsu gathering within 500 miles of Minneapolis. I've had a lot of sign ups in the last day or so. We are up to 75 sign ups. I'm guessing we'll have around 110 to 120 cars the day of the show. Its an awesome site to see.

Hope you can make it,
Curt

Show up with a Mitsu and you might. At the very least you'll have a full stomach and a chance at some great giveaways.

Hey everyone,

The All Mitsubishi Cookout and Car Show is drawing near. Its just over two weeks away now. We've got 78 cars signed up so far, and I'm still expecting well over 100 cars to show up the day of the show. Here are a few reminders:

1. If you are planning on coming and haven't signed up, please do so. It helps with the planning of the event and the registration process goes quicker at the show. Sign up form is here:
   http://mn3s.zforcenetwork.com/list/?p=subscribe

2. Once you've signed up, you can paypal me the $5 registration. Send the paypal to [email protected] By pre-paying it also speeds up the registration the day of the show. $5 gets you and a guest in the show with your Mitsu and all the food you can eat. Its a hell of a bargain.

3. Bring a lawn chair and an FRS radio. We'll be using the FRS radios to announce the prizes and other info. You don't want to miss out on all the giveaways. There are a ton of them.

Thanks,
Curt

Hey everyone,

Only 11 days left until the Cookout. The trophies are made. They will be a little bigger than last year. We also have a ton of prizes to give away. QPR has a bunch of shirts and other apparal from Redline Oils to give away. Brookdale Mitsubishi has a bunch of stuff. Plus, Jack with Mitsubishi Specialties has some prizes. Don't forget that FRS radio, or you'll miss your car number being called out. With over 60 prizes to give away, a lot of people will walk away with stuff.

Also, here is a good map of where the Ellingson Car Museum is:

Hey everyone,

The All Mitsu Cookout is almost here! Its this Sunday from 11am to 4pm at the Ellingson Car Museum in Rogers, MN. Here is a map of the location:

We've had a huge flury of sign-ups in the last few days. We just got our 100th sign-up!! We always have more people show up than sign-up, so I'm expecting around 110 to 120 cars the day of the show.

Don't forget about the reminders that I keep blabbing about. Pre-pay if you can, fill out your car-sign and bring a FRS radio.

See ya Sunday,
Curt
