Eastern Creek Skid Pan Day!

[NYTSKY]

Hi guys and gals,

I am in the process of organising a wet skid pan day at Eastern Creek.

The day will comprise of half day skid car control.Lunch. and half day motokhana.(on the same day ofcoarse)

9am to 5pm.

There are 10 places available.And the cost will be $220

Date is not finalized as the head instructor James Stewart is still finding out dates,But most probably in the first 2 weeks in January.

This will be a great day out.You will learn a great deal about car control and also have a great time on the skid pan.

Did i say GREAT

I will be editing this post frequently so keep your eyes out.

Kind Regards

Dave

Interested.

Need to know if it will be a weekday or weekend.

[Beer Baron]

i'm interested but keen to know what kind of stuff we will be doing? not interested in practicing stopping, avoiding deer etc. I would be interested if you are doing slide control, figure 8 etc.

[Nismo_God]

very interested...is it figure 8 and sliding? and what is motokhana?

[--{TRYDIS}--]

yeh the deer lol good one beer baron lol yeh interested too please pm with details hope i dont have work

Ok the first part of the day will be learning how to control "loss of control" car coming in to a turn, back end breaking traction and the driver trying to recover.The level of speed will increase per run.Second part is

Motokhana,a coarse is laid out with cones(like on the dutton rally) objective is to drive the coarse,and beat other peoples times.Im sure there will be alot of taily action.But i must stress.This day is not just about becoming keiichi tsuchia.This is for people who want to learn car control.

I will try and make it a saturday.

This isnt like a driver training coarse.The instructors are there to guide and explain things.

I wanted to hire the pan out privately but id have to go thru the hassal of getting liability insurance and stuff.The way im setting it up is that im going thru the instructors so the insurance is all taken care of.James Stewart (head instructor) kindly helped me out.So to sum up its like having the pan to ourselves but with professional supervision and a little tutorlidge from the experts.

[NYTSKY]

[steveo_r33]

YO! i am down for this... I am just getting my license back after a long year! and i would imagine i am a bit rusty! what day is this gonna b on?

[Beer Baron]

will the motokhana be on dry skidpan or wet?

hmm, looking at the pics I'm guessing wet skidpan. could be a winner. but really need a date.

[Nismo_God]

do we have exclusive access? or r we sharing? dont want it to be too busy. but interest, let me know when you have dates.

[NYTSKY]

Im pretty sure its all wet.And yes we will have it all to ourselves

As for a final date i wont know till later on this week.

But just to update i now have two confirmed going,an xr6t and a wrx club spec5.

If there is alot of people wanting to go they will allow up to 16 cars,but this also means less time on the skid pan for each driver.Thats why id like to keep it to 10 cars.
