Can I trailer mine there? Not sure if it will be running by then.

166 cars is the record. We set that in 2007. But we have more sign ups at this point in time, then we did in 2007. And just remember, just because someone signs up, doesn't mean they show up.

Has it ever rained? I'm wondering, from a statistical standpoint, how that would affect turnout...

Well here's to a nice sunny day where we break 2007's record!! ^_^

We had a couple of sprinkles last year, but it was pretty minor. We had some rain in 2001, but that was it for rain during the Cookout. We have been kind of lucky about that. Rain would be terrible. I'm sure half the people would not show up and I'd have to pay for a lot of the fixed expense myself. But this is a rain or shine event. So lets hope for the best.

Only 10 more days until the Cookout. We are up to 165 signups: http://www.mn3s.org/cookout-list.html

It is not too late to get signed up and come join us for an afternoon of Mitsu fun. The All Mitsu Cookout is coming up on Sunday, the 26th. We'll have some great prizes, plenty of food, and some fun stuff like the Mitsu trivia contest, and the slow drags.

Here are some reminders:

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

2) Fill out your car sign ahead of time. It 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

3) 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 separate 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. Here is a map of the school:

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

See ya soon,
Curt
