Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

That is what I like to hear! That's awesome.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Hey everyone,

As of today, we only have 57 people signed up. The current list is at: http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

Last year we had a huge rush of people who signed up last minute. It makes it difficult to figure out the show categories, and food, if I can't get a good guess at the number of people we are going to have. I need to make some of those decisions in the next couple of weeks. So please get signed up if you are coming.

Thanks,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Signed up and payment sent!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Thanks. We should have enough Galants signed up to have another Galant category this year.

Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

We need more Evo Room this time, I remember last time there wasn't enough, maybe even split them up, evo 8/9 and evo x would be awesome! ;)

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

That is exactly my point. There are only six Evo 8/9s and three EVO Xs signed up right now. Go find these mysterious Evo owners that live under rocks and in caves and teach them how to do the grueling 30 seconds of sign up effort.

The EVOs were the biggest procrastinators last year. If I can get at least 10 EVO Xs signed up in the next couple of weeks, I can put them in there own category, but that isn't going to happen at the rate we are going.

later,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Yea I figured you were pointing at us, lol.

I have signed up, and the 3 main Evo X people active on the boards are the ones signed up.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

I think 10 would be tough. There are quite a few of them in the metro but many don't hangout online.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

^Yea, that. I bet we will have 4-7 of them total. I wonder if Ron will bring his?

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Four are signed up already, not sure who the guy with the 2010 is. Not sure if Kracka is driving up. Not sure if simulatedwood will be there. It'll certainly be better than last year. :)

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

I'll keep you company lol

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Hey everyone,

I've been busy getting supplies and food for the Cookout. Only a month away now!

For any "out-of-towners" looking for a hotel room, you should get your room booked at the Hampton Inn, in Rogers. Its a super nice hotel and they are giving us a great rate. The hotel is less than a mile from the Cookout. Also, for the out-of-towners, we'll be having a bonfire at my house after the All Mitsu Cookout, probably around 7pm. So you can really make it a full day of Mitsu fun.

I'd also like to thank our two main sponsors, Modern Automotive Performance and Brookdale Mitsubishi. Their support of this event is the reason it is only $5. So consider getting your Mitsu parts from one of these great businesses.

Thanks,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Hey everyone,

Looks like we have 77 people signed up now. The current list is at:
http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

This year we've got something new and exciting. We are going to do online voting. Most people have smart-phones these days. You'll be able to go to a website and enter a code and all your car selections right there. I'm in the process of testing this new function. And don't worry, if you don't have a smart-phone, or have problems, someone at the registration desk can help you. This will really help speed up the vote tally process and should prevent us from running late as I scramble to enter in all the data.

I'll hopefully be finalizing the categories next week. So get registered and make sure all your friends get registered!

Thanks,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

signed up and sent money.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Sweet! Can't wait to see your GVR4.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

can you tell us more about the online voting. i see this as more of a hassle then a help. but i got your back whatever you decide

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Because non-smart phone owners are going to rally together and beat Curt's ass? :lol:

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Online voting = badass! The vote tallying is always a wh0re to sit around and wait for, this should help a lot!

Don't forget to design it so that people can go look through a section of cars, vote, then go look through more cars, vote, go eat, hang out, go vote, etc etc. If you incorperated a list of the car's owners/vehicle info/etc with the voting info I think that'd be pretty cool....and help cut down on errors! I voted for god-knows-who last year when I voted for 705 (or something) and I went back to the car I voted for and realized it was completely the wrong number, 708 or something. Doh :P

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

wont this be hard with all the people who show up that dont register? is there going to be some kind of station for all of the people without smart phones?

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

....

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

If you don't register, you can't vote.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

argh!!! shitty, won't be able to go this year!!! (>_<)!!!!! Agh! got a new DSLR camera too! damn. Someone please take alot of pictures for those who can't go! thanks! :D

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

You'll still get a voting slip. It will have your secret code on it so you can vote online. I'd suggest still filling out your voting slip with a pen or pencil. Then once you are done, whip out your phone and do the actual online voting part.

Its impossible to add owner info to the car number and have that online, since that is done on the fly the day of the Cookout. The online voting thing will work out just fine. We'll have plenty of people to help out with the non techies.

Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Hey everyone,

The Cookout is only 2.5 weeks away now. Looks like we are up to 89 sign ups.

I've finalized the categories for the show. New this year will be a category for the Evo Xs. We don't have any unused rows left in the parking lot, but there should be plenty of room in the row across from the other Evos, towards the end of that row. Here are the categories:

Best 90-94 DSM
Best 95-99 DSM
Best 00-05 Eclipse/Stratus coupe
Best 91-93 3/S
Best 94-99 3/S
Best Evo I to IX
Best Evo X
Best Galant
Best Other Mitsu
The "Gene Helms" Cleanest Car Overall

Also, our block of rooms at the Hampton Inn go away on August 16th. So any out-of-towners looking for a room, book it now! We will also have a bonfire at my house after the Cookout around 7pm. So any out-of-towners or other people that want to extend a day of Mitsu fun, can join in. I live about a mile away from where the Cookout is located at.

Thanks,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

The cookout is gonna be a blast! If you own a mitsu, you have to go to this event!!!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

loved it last year, bummed i'm not going to be able to go. I recomend to anyone who is thinking about it, to make it a priority.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

OMG! Did Adam make a post? haha. Yeah well now your going to mod!

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

finally signed up last night, woot woot

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

well i am not going to make it this year with any of the cars. Alys 14yo cuz passed away and i used my vacation day for the cookout to go down to chicago on tue morring and got back last night.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

That sucks! Maybe you should develop a really bad fever and soar throat on August 28th. ;)

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

would love to but don't have much sick time and i just have the hatch running right now. with all that went down i will not have the time to get the engine done for the evo,put new valves in the 01 mirage tnd put it back toghter and finnish up the evo 1 swap by then any way. will be there next year.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

Well my car is officially a 50/50 chance so I may not be there with my car. I will go still, but may not have the car.

Curt, hopefully that doesn't affect the Evo X category, sorry for registering already, the build took a bit longer than expected which should have been expected, lol. I still really hope I can make it.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

I've ordered the trophies already, so there will be an EVO X category for sure. With the people who will show up and not actually sign up ahead of time, I'm guessing we'll still have 5-10 EVO Xs there.

later,
Curt

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

There are a shit ton of X's that aren't on the site.

Re: All Mitsu Cookout -- Saturday, August 28th, 2010
 

just signed up, can't wait.
