I'll chase it up over the weekend, I dont have a good chunk of what was taken by our camera as the battery died before I could pull it off and it wasnt my camera, so jarrad's got it. He may be away however, he spends alot of time interstate :S

Howdy everyone

I had my first day at a skidpan on sunday, up at gympie as apparently the folks out at mt cotton have over-senitive ears, I had a ball and learnt a thing or two about controlling skids.

It can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/3e4be9

I think the vids cool have a look and let me know what you think. Bear in mind it was my first day at the skidpan and id never tried anything remotely like drifts before this.

Regards

Ian

I met him at a wedding on Sat down on the coast and we somehow got onto skid pans, GTRs etc when he saw mine

skidpans are great to learn better control of your car and how it reacts to different situations.

the sideline skidpan days we used to have were always good, particularly the braking exercises and wet surface control exercises. and the sliding of the cars

I've got the vids from jarrad if anyone is chasing them, there quite large so youll have to pick them up on DVD. Anyone whos keen just PM me.
