All Mitsu Cookout -- Sunday, August 26, 2012 -- Rogers, MN

[Curt]

Hey everyone,

The planning for the 2012 All Mitsubishi Cookout and Car Show is underway. This year's event will be happening on Sunday, August 26th, 2012. The event runs from 11am to 4pm.

Once again we will have this huge event at the Rogers Middle School in Rogers, MN. We will have a lot of great prizes and some awesome food. This is one of the largest Mitsu events in the country. We are hoping to get over 150 Mitsus on display. You don't want to miss it!

Complete details and the sign up page can be found at click

I would like to go for the first time this year. Still need to put the rest of the G back together and work out the bugs, before I sign up.

 

[Curt]

We'd love to have you here. Every year it seems like we have some nice GVR4s show up. Hope you can make it.

I'd really like us to set a new record for Mitsus there. The record is 166 cars. So make sure to tell your friends and give out some flyers where ever you can.

sounds like a good time really. wish i would have been able to get my car up to the BIR show last weekend. that was a really good time up there. didnt see you around you car tho. but there was lot to see up there.

 

[Curt]

There was a lot of Mitsu guys at BIR that I missed talking to. I did see John run his GVR4, but he had a lot of tranny issues.

Hope you can make the trip over for the All Mitsu Cookout. We want to see some more GVR4s!

I'm also hoping to finalize the price of the Cookout this next week. I'm hoping to keep it at $5, but right now we only have one sponsor lined up. A big thanks to White Bear Mitsubishi! If anyone would be interested in sponsoring the All Mitsu Cookout, get in contact with me.

Hey everyone,

Don't forget to fill out the official sign up page at:
click

This is the data I use to determine categories and its the info I use when you complete your registration on the day of the show. So get signed up if you are coming. We've got 56 of ya so far.

Also, MAP is now a main sponsor as well. I've added the sponsor banners and some other updates to the main All Mitsu Cookout page at:

Thanks,
Curt

Hey everyone,

Things are coming along great for the All Mitsu Cookout. We have 63 people officially signed up. We have 120 people on the Facebook event.

Since we have both MAP and White Bear Mitsubishi as main sponsors, we will be able to keep the price of the Cookout at $5. So for $5, you can get yourself, and car, into the show and all you can eat. Each additional guest who wants to eat will be $5. We'll have plenty of burgers, brauts, chips, cookies, veggies, pop, and water for ya.

I've been to several car events in the last month. I've handed out a lot of flyers and talked to people about the All Mitsu Cookout. And even though I have the Cookout info on 40+ message boards, I still find Mitsu owners who have never heard of the All Mitsu Cookout. So keep telling all your friends, who own Mitsus, about the Cookout. It can really make a difference. If you want to print off some flyers to hand out, the link is at:

Thanks,
Curt

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! The only thing scary that I can think of is how SCARY of a good time the All Mitsu Cookout is going to be this year.

We now have a third main sponsor for the Cookout. Midwest Turbo Connection is now on board! Links to all the sponsors can be found on the All Mitsu Cookout webpage.

We are up to 79 people officially signed up. See the current list at:

So keep getting those car projects done. We only have six weeks left!

Hey everyone,

Looks like we have 108 cars signed up now. Looking good!

A couple of years ago there was an article posted on Gearbox Magazine talking about the Cookout. Its a good read if you haven't read it yet. Link:

We are less than a month away!

We've had a great group of sign ups in the last week. We are at 112 sign ups now. The current list is at:
click

Now would be a good time to look at the list. If your Mitsu friends aren't on it, start bugging them. Send them an email, text, facebook invite, or pick up the phone. They need a virtual slap in the face.

I'll probably finalize the car show categories in another week or two. And you now have less than four weeks to get those car projects done!

Hey everyone,

Less than three weeks away from the All Mitsu Cookout now. Time to start thinking about your car sign. To save time at the Cookout, you can download and fill out your car sign before the show. Just fill out everything except the car number. You'll get that at the show. Its hard to remember your mod list when you are sitting at the registration table. So do it early. Here is a link to a blank car sign:

Here is an example sign to look at:

We are up to 134 sign ups. Keep them coming!

Thanks,
Curt
