I swung by Brookdale Mits to get a new sentry key (fracking $180!!) and Nick was pimping the cookout pretty well.

It surprises me the Mitsu people I meet, and I ask about the cookout and they never heard of it. I always advertise

Also, some people think their car isnt worthy of going: I say its more a get together than a car show, so don't worry about your car, JUST BRING IT!!!!!! The more, the merrier.

This is the best attitude. It is a car show, but its also about getting together. So people should bring there Mitsu and show it off. Even if its a rust pile.

I won't be doing t-shirts this year because the demand for them last year just wasn't there. I do have a few XL t-shirts from last year that I'll be trying to sell for $10.

Curt

I'll probably wait till like a week in advance to sign up. I'd hate to sign up, then sell my car and have to cancel.

I'm suppose to help the fiance move one of the days that weekend, if i can make it i will be there, but won't be sure or not till the day gets closer. How late can we register for it?

You can just sign up at the show itself. I like people to sign up ahead of time if you can. It just makes things faster the day of the event. But if you don't know, then hold off.

I've wanted to go for the past 2-3 years and havn't, i have a job now where i can take it off. Now the better half steps in on that weekend.

I"ll play it by ear and see, i'll register online ahead of time for sure, but not clear on what day.

Hey everyone,

I've gotten some prizes from Corporate Mitsubishi. They sent a bunch of backpacks and some awesome Mitsubishi pens. Thanks Mitsubishi!

I only have two people that have pre-paid with Paypal. Help speed up the registration process and pre-pay!

Our sign up count is up to 88. I updated the list at: http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

Also, for the out-of-towners that need a hotel room, book your room soon. We are using the Hampton Inn, in Rogers. We are getting a fantastic rate of $74. But this rate is only good until August 10th. More details are on the Cookout page.

later,
Curt

Hey everyone,

The Cookout is only 19 days away now. Looks like we are up to 100 sign ups.

I've got the categories finalized for the show. Since the Conquest/Starions only have 2 sign ups, I'm getting rid of that category. In its place will be the Galant category. So all Galants can compete with each other. The Conquest/Starions will be in the "other" category. 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
Best Galant
Best Other Mitsu
The "Gene Helms" Cleanest Car Overall

I've also worked it out with the Hampton Inn to extend the deadline to get the group rate. You now have until Friday, August 14th to book your hotel room. Right now we only have one room booked. I'm hoping we can at least get 5-6 rooms booked. So the out-of-towners really need to book soon.

Also for the out-of-towners we'll be doing a dinner and bonfire the night before, on August 22nd. We will meet up at 6:30pm at a restaurant in Rogers. Then around 8:30pm we'll head over to the bonfire. More details on that next week.

And finally, I've only got four people who have pre-payed with paypal. Make my life easier and pay your $5 registration ahead of time. My paypal is cgendron@mail.com

Thanks,
Curt

Hey everyone,

The All Mitsu Cookout is right around the corner. Its Sunday, August 23rd. We are up to 109 sign ups:
http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

If you are coming to the Cookout, here are some reminders:

1) Sign-up online. The page is at:
http://mn3s.org/lists/?p=subscribe&id=5

2) If you have Paypal, send me your $5 registration to cgendron@mail.com (no credit cards please)

3) Fill out your car sign ahead of time. Its saves a lot of time in the registration line. Download the sign at:
http://www.mn3s.org/car-sign.doc

And my example sign can be found here:
http://www.mn3s.org/car-sign-curt.doc

4) Bring some lawn chairs for hanging out and bring your appetite! We'll have plenty of food.

Also, if you are just coming to spectate, there is a seperate spectator lot on the back side of the school. So don't turn at the stop light at the school. Go past that and take your next right and go behind the school. The lot behind the school is for spectators. The front lot is for participants.

We will also be doing the slow drags again. Its going for about 50 feet as slow as possible, without stopping. We'll have a trophy this year for the winner. Its a lot of fun.

Thanks,
Curt

Hey everyone,

Wanted to remind you that TODAY is the deadline for getting the hotel discount. If you are coming up the night before, you should take advantage of the deal at the Hampton Inn. It's a very new and very nice hotel for $74 a night. Their regular price is over $100 a night. The hotel web page is:
http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/h...tyhocn=ROGERHX

Just mention the car show to get the discount.

Thanks,
Curt
