Re: Hyde's up for a new challenge ... will you help?
lol ... I wouldn't need any support crew to do such a trip.
A few years ago I took a several thousand mile trip in Hyde. IIRC, it was 7 states in 6 days.

Re: Hyde's up for a new challenge ... will you help?
Ah, very good then. I always had this image that Hyde wasn't, like, a trailor queen, but not exactly the type of car that you would want to spend more than a few hours in at any time. Very nice then.

Re: Hyde's up for a new challenge ... will you help?
I've driven Hyde 2.5+ hours on the drag radials and skinnies upfront to Englishtown's Raceway park to enter a national drag event ... and even drove home after getting a flat in the drag radial at the track

Re: Hyde's up for a new challenge ... will you help?
Well, it doesn't take much to beat a turd.
I didn't see anything really facinating about that Lexus that would sway my vote. I'm over the whole "make it look pimp yo!"... well I was never into it, but Hyde, it's clean and properly done. A real "tuner" car, not a show car that's made to look "tuner". I bet if one was to look closely at Hyde you'd see scratches and minor dings that shows it's a real race car. It's not made to be perfect, but that's what makes it perfect. Long live the real deal. Hyde FTW!... and Jeff too... cause he pays the bills.

Round ones... and most likely black.

Re: Hyde's up for a new challenge ... will you help?
oooo... that'd be cool.
Kumho's FTW!... if you like to make colored smoke... they also make a good race tire as well.

Re: Hyde's up for a new challenge ... will you help?
Stig, there are plenty of battle scars on Hyde.
clawhammer, from what I understand I won a set of 4 Kumho Ectsa ASX tires. You can see them at the bottom of the page: http://www.cardomain.com/features/faceoff That works as I run Kumhos and I usually buy from Discount Tire  I think they are calling me at work tomorrow so I will let you guys know more when I find out more.

Re: Hyde's up for a new challenge ... will you help?
UPDATE
I just got off the phone with the representative from Discount Tire. For winning the Face Off, I actually won any 4 tires that I wanted with a cap of $1000. As tempting as it was to try to figure out the most amazing set up to order, I decided to just be conservative and get a set of the tires they are promoting through the contest - the Kumho Ecsta ASX. I already have 4 different sets of race tires for the car and Peter Doane (he'll be driving Hyde at the GRM UTCC event) just purchased a brand new set of Hoosiers for his use for the two events (maybe 3) he'll be racing in Hyde. I haven't had regular street tires for Hyde in probably 2 years and I've wanted to check out these Kumhos. It will be nice to have normal street tires for that car.
