Two New Evom Gurus have been added!

For those who are not aware the Evom Guru title has only been given to 14 members since the forum was formed in 2001. The title represents recognition of long time contributions at a high level of technical competency and the ability to answer questions and offer suggestions to our members with all levels of experience.

Congratulations to Dallas J (member since 2004) and kaj (members since 2006). Thanks guys!

Id be lying if I said I didn't see that title 15 years ago and think hmm, how do I get that. And I really felt like around 5 years ago a lot of interest and development for the Evo platform started to fall off but I've been in the DSM/Evo community 20 years as of this year (WTF ) and knew we had a lot more to give, and still do. I've got some crazy weird ideas of ways we can keep putting gaps on the subi/ford/vw crowd when it comes to around the bends.

Even if other brands manage to keep getting new AWD platforms, they'll always be compared to the CT9A as a benchmark. Just a silly over decade old mitsubishi. Hope to keep bringing new ideas and reminding others of old lost details we "use to do"

I support the selection of Dallas. I think maybe my name was close enough to his that it got clicked at the same time, by accident.

"Meh. Too late to fix it now".

But I think it's pretty cool to be a guru SOMEWHERE. Now I gotta call work and demand my own parking spot.

Razorlab

I was remiss in not recognizing our only current active Guru razorlab who has been contributing to this community since 2003. For those who do not know his guru status came from the fact that he is an exceptional ecuflash tuner. There were a few people trying to take advantage of Ralliart and RASB owners back in the day, razorlab released a free basemap for the whole community. He has historically helped hundreds in the community in the same way over the years, most always for free.

I agree. The FB groups are horrible and disorganized. This has always been my go-to place for accurate info.

Any member who can discuss all things EvO & diagnose & treat a serious medical condition, while at the Track, is a "Guru"

Does that mean I can be my own EMS? We were looking at track rental and EMS was a huge part of the overall cost

I kid you not in the majority of the posts I read, if not all, you guys are there with tons of information and have been a tremendous help. I've only just recently been active over the last couple years but you guys have been here since the start. Its obvious this forum has died off and isn't what it used to be (ex: million threads dating years back) so im curious what makes you gurus keep coming back when everything or mostly everything has already been said and done? (thank god you guys do).
