Anyone in the Florida Panhandle?

[SamTEC]

Ok guys, Im still kinda new on this site, and I was just wondering how many of us are in the Florida panhandle area, like Pensacola/Destin/Panama City. I live in Crestview FL (between Pensacola and Panama City) and have never seen another Type R in my life. I tend to feel lonely sometimes, so I'd appreciate anyone responding who lives in the area.

Wait... another Floridian???

No ITR's up there, but Kapman (Mike) is up there. We are planning an FL ITR meet/track day at GIR (Gainsville) if you'd like to join us.

Awesome... now we have ITR's from Homestead (almost last part of FL) to the Panhandle!!!

On a side note, I have taken my R up there. Closed a bar at 9:30... wusses when it's not in season up there.

[SamTEC]

Lol, sweet...yeah that Gainsville meet sounds good, I should be able to make it.

There is a PY ITR at tyndall, I do not know how owns it, But my hybrid LS does me just fine. I got my hondata ecu motor tuned in Crestview..

Come join us this fall for our HPDE in G'ville...

Good to meet another ITR owner...

Later

Not sure... with times the way they are right now, it's sorta difficult.

however, a meet in general may be in order soon. Trying to find a location might be difficult as you are from SFL, and these guys are way up in the corner. Maybe in the Ocala area might be halfway.

Thoughts guys?

[Kapman38]

I could do Ocala... Or Gainesville, not much farther..

Here is another very feasable option.

New "track" in Orlando.

Talked to Sr. Shop is willing to fork out 1k towards a days rental if we can get enough other folks to join in.

Hmm, this is possible as well. I guess we could ahve a say on configuration???

[Dave_B]

Yes we could. After going this weekend, it looks to be more of a really long autocross course. Most folks aren't even getting into 3rd gear (depends on FD I suppose)

[Kapman38]

Sounds very interesting...

I think a good place for a meet.

Hell, my girlfriend would probably come with me...

A short course may be perfect for any Teg.

I guess I am spoiled since I only ran at longer tracks..

Still planning on going to Barber at end of march..

BTW; the Teg is out of shop! WOOT!

[Dave_B]

What's the word on the car? I remember you saying trans issues or synchro's or something.

The synchros sleeves for 1st and 5th were chewed up. I had all synchros replaced and both sleeves replaced. I guess the honda bond
just gave out, so hence the leak. It is all good now. Also had tie rods replaced, timing belt tightened...and new clutch puck replaced!

Then added a GSR shift linkage to boot..

I am going to put on the Samco radiator hoses this weekend..

[Dave_B]

Awesome! Glad to hear she's back in tip top shape!!!

[TegR01]

CFRcourse is great for karts, they even do kart rentals and they have an 1/8th mile drag strip. the little road course is great for integras, just that there isnt much passing room so i wouldnt want to risk a pass on any turn because probablities of bumping and rubbing are big lol. but we can all rent the karts and then just go balls out lol. MARIO KART FTW!!! lol
