I have been getting ready for the Expo. My first purchase was a light duty towing vehicle, or as Ed (sackdz) reffered to it as my Domestic Rice It is my Type z R2



And some new rubber, corded 205/50/15 Hoosier (left) and new 225/45/15 Kuhmos (right). The hoosiers are still on 15x7 K1s in the picture.

Hey Matt, nice truck and tires there.
Will you use those tires before the Expo?

 

nice tow vehicle

so hoosiers take on a 205 is like kumhos take on a 225, ay?
NICE one Hoosier!

 

trailer queen

nice ride

 

After having a brush with Armco last year, I decided I should tow to events to avoid walking home. This also allows the R to get further and further away from a street car and closer to a real track car


Wai: No, the Expo will be the first event on the tires

I was wondering when the tire wars would begin.
Makes me almost want to mount up the Dunlop D01J's on the SSR rims, but the 032R's aren't anywhere near done yet!

... less than two months till the '03 ITR Expo.

Mattj,

Was that picture taken recently? You have snow on the ground in Detroit?

We're still looking at bare ground here in Chicago. Haven't had snow (other than a light dusting) for two and a half months.
