Port Charlotte as in FL?

If so, I'm in FL as well. Next time I run down to Sebring I'll let you know so you can join in on the action.

That's where my ITR was stolen from

I'm not saying anything, but you know what comes to mind when I see an Civic with an ITR motor, 5 lug, and CW 98 ITR wheels (with Honda center caps).

Hey man that sounds good! Its good to see someone actually knows of this place lol Let me know Im actually hoping to finish up the car soon, I bought it just as is but want to do my own setup to it, and the previous owner, or whoever did it, didnt torque one of the spark plugs right I guess, and stripped the threads in the head, when I pull out the plug you see the aluminum flakes from it being stripped :? , and they didnt change the ECU, so it still has the SI ECU, just a few things to make it right. Thanks for giving me the heads up. Hopefully we'll meet up some time.

I've tracked my R there twice and go every year for the ALMS 12 hours of Sebring.

Yeah, I've been to Port Charlotte once or twice.

That's where Charley made landfall I think.

Sebring is in Sebring FL. Do you know SR 27? It's about halfway between Orlando and Tampa on I-4. Go south down 27 to 99 on the left (about an hour or so south) and it's like 5 mins off of 27.

From you, I would say no more than 2 hours.

Personally I run with PCA (Porsche Club of America) to be clear of the idiots who don't like to follow the rules. The PCA guys are older and much more mature. You could also look into Chin Motorsports who I know runs there.

Check out http://www.sebringraceway.com for directions and such.
