...to show the rest of the country what we can do out here in little ol' CT. 
We're working on lots of new ideas for the shop and meets. We'd love to hear what you guys think. If you have any ideas please let us know. Our big opening meet should feature the usual...food, dyno runs, music, etc etc. We'll most likely have a raffle for either a certain amount of money (to be spent at ECS) or free dyno runs etc. I was also thinking about an annual (or more frequent) Evo vs. STI dyno shootout with prizes, and bragging rights, going to the top dog. What do you guys think? -Alex@ECS

Haha that's the whole reason I suggested the idea ...to show the rest of the country what we can do out here in little ol' CT. We're working on lots of new ideas for the shop and meets.

I know I wont win anything, but I know there are plenty of good evos around here that can.

Ah poop. I've only seen like two Evos in this backwater state so I was all excited to buy an Evo and be different. Then this thread, with all you guys in it, ugh. 
The shootout sounds interesting though, will be fun to see.

I don't remember what mine looks like these days.

Well, looks like I won't be going to anymore meets anytime soon and I won't be driving my Evo to the Uconn car show. I'll never be able to get it dynoed again. I'll never get to experience another Evo Fall Foliage Run in it. An 86 year old woman decided to turn left right in front of me causing a head on collision. I had no chance to react. It was like getting hit by a meteorite. God bless her and her family. I hope she's ok. Everyone walked away but both vehicles were totaled. Her insurance said they were up to $18K plus and that didn't take into account the suspension and drivetrain components. It could very well be north of $22K in damage. Keep in mind it's never seen snow and I can count on two hands how many times it's been rained on. It's been fun guys and I may buy an Evo 11 someday. Have fun and drive safe!!!!

i thought the same thing. and im still outnumbered over here in the groton new london area by all these pooparu's. where in New London are you at?Alex - how about a mini "Best Looking EVO" and "Best Looking STI" at these shootouts as well?
