I've reworked the first post and included more info.

I spent 45 minutes on the phone yesterday with the main organizer of this event from Mitsubishi. Its gonna be awesome!! I'm definitely going, and I'm also gonna help advertise this thing.

Maybe we can set up a group hotel rate down there for us if we can get a good number of 3/S owners going. Chime in if you are planning on making the trip to Normal.

later,
Curt

It will be tough for me to make it, being it's the weekend after the Speedseekers Road America event, and Haley is cheerleading in back-to-back football games that morning...

I guess we will have to see.

Hey guys,

I've made my reservation for Friday and Saturday nights (Oct 21 and 22). I'm staying at the Extended Stay America in Bloomington, IL. See website:
http://www.extendedstayamerica.com/mini ... otelID=653

This will be the Minnesota (and maybe W3SI) headquarters, so to speak. The rate is $65.99 a night. If you'd like to stay at this hotel, call them soon. If we get 10 rooms reserved, they'll drop the price to $59.99 a night. When you call and reserve your room, mention my name and the Mitsubishi event. Also let me know you reserved a room here.

I had a hard time finding decent hotels available for this weekend. Orbitz, hotels.com, travelocity, and Expedia all only had a few hotels available. And they were either rundown no name places or super expensive ones. The Extended Stay America is a good price for a top notch hotel.

We'll get a group together and go out to eat that Saturday night after the event, plus we can hang out at the hotel and around town. This is going to be an excellent event.

later,
Curt

Hey everyone,

A little update... I've found out that AMS (AutoMotorSports) will be one of the vendors at the MOD event. They are a huge EVO shop in Chicago.

I'm hoping to get some more information on vendors and the list of concept cars that will be there. Stay tuned...

later,
Curt

Yup, AMS is throwing a Evo cookout the night before hand, we will be staying right down the road from their shop. We are leaving early in the morning to hit I-55 on the way down to Normal. So far I think the count is around 30-40 Evos in a pack.

LOL. Not too many 3/Ses with warrenties left. But as far as newer vehicles go.... Nobody involved with this event cares about warrenties, so there will be none of that going on.
