I will have tons of pics tonight to post and a little summary. We had over 40 total Mitsubishi vehicles. Not sure how many Evo's.

Other than the Mitsu's there were Lotus, Subarus, a Lamborghini, Ferrari and a Porsche 993.

All of the pics, click here

I only had about 90 minutes to snap some photos. Harsh lighting and shadows, along with a bunch of reflections from trees, people, and other cars so not my best stuff.

A few pics while the thumbnails load:

Mitsubishi Motors Club of York, PA
Fall Meet & Show
Presented by York Mitsubishi & Mitsubishi Motors North America


Let me say "thank you" to Mitsubishi Motors North America for recognizing our event. Having Mitsubishi Motors Executive Hisashi Ishimaki there was very very exciting. Also thanks to York Mitsubishi. Without them none of this would have been possible. Lastly, thanks to CBRD Speedfactory and phototgrapher Phuong Tao for being there.

The meet was a huge success. They are no where near as good as Phuongs photos but tomorrow I will post a bunch of my pics on this thread and I will give a detailed rundown on the meet and the awards winners. There were over 30 Mitsubishis on display "in the show" and over 40 there total.

We had a large number of great Evo's. We had some very very nice Lancers (I;ll get pics tomorrow). We had neat Mirages, a bunch of great Eclipses, a Diamante, Endeavor, Outlander, Raider, Galants, and more!

Thank you. Yes the car is the Ralliart USA Evo IX MR. It was built by the Mitsubishi Motors North America R&D Center as a one off car for the 2005 SEMA Show in Vegas. They used it to promote the "launch" (still coming) of Ralliart in the USA. Then it was involved in the Yahoo! Autos sweepstakes. I now own the car and work at York Mitsubishi. We added a few MMNA Factory accesories and had it tuned by CBRD Speedfactory for use in the STU class of the SCCA Susquehanna Region autocross series. We use it as a company show car as well. York Mitsu. helped sponsored the event and it was held by the club me and the Galant VR4 guy started (Mitsubishi Motors Club of York, PA)

Below is the car with Mitsubishi Motors North America Executive Hisashi Ishimaki. He has been with Mitsu for 20 years all over the world. Was assigned to France, England, Thailand, and more. He is now in charge of the entire North East Region for the USA. Basically one of 4 vice presidents to Harunari. He walked around with me and was very very excited about the event. He thanked many of guys for owning Mitsu's.

Trust me folks, this did a great job of trying to accomplish my goal. A Factory MOD Event in the North East next year!

We met at the mitsu dealer meeting in Vegas. Mitsu is very much getting back to their roots as a fun exciting niche car company. They once again, now that the japanese are back in charge, realize that they are a fun exciting company who sell cars to enthusiasts not just owners. He was excited to hear about what our club does and how well the dealership does so he came from New Jersey to the event. He also got a tour of York Mitsubishi. He liked the cars, the brand image stuff the club did (Mitsu Sign, Mitsu goodie bags, etc.) and I think we did a good job of showing the potential in this area (PA, NJ, MD, Delaware) for having a full blown MOD.

Funny you say that. Shane and I were just saying how we need to make it in September or August so it is warmer!!!! Glad you had fun. The next event will be at CBRD when they have an open house. You and your wife are quite the "Evo Family"!!!!! Sorry I did not talk to you guys more but I get freaked out trying to organize stuff. Hopefully at the open house or the next meet I can have more time to talk to you and thank you for attending.
