Ive always used semi's on the dry skid pans for timed events, works well and have placed pretty well in scoring in them.

The trick is, smoother is better, hand brake turns would be the only time they get worn (besides the start on take off, and any lock up) If you time the hand break turn right, you'll have minimal wear anyway :(

So in other words....Don't be a girl :P :P :(

DM - haha nice one!! Your just lucky my 33 isnt going to be there for your competition :(

LOL, Ok then - I'll use my semi's, you use yours and we'll see who ends up being quicker than who :(

Quick question... Is anyone going on the dry skidpan with semi slicks on?

I know that there are a lot of handbrake turns needed but the problem will be that I have a nice new set of semi slicks that I have just finished bedding in and I dont really want to shred them in one day. :D

My semis are already bolted on and I will be driving to Canberra on them. Can’t be bothered tracking two sets of tyres. If I smoke them on then skid pan so be it. I know smooth is faster but smoke and sideways is more fun. I will drive properly on the track (I promise). Mine are only Azenis so they are not real semis anyway.

Go dirty sartywan's!!!!

i'll be there in tha sillo, with slidie tyrez on ze rearz

GOING FOR SLOWEST YET MOST ENTERTAINING ON SKID PAN!!!

*still be quicker then Bullet32*

proper semis will be rubbish without a warm up.

if you have something like a 595rs or rt215/615 thats been scrubbed in it's the tyre to have in this sort of event. Something that has highish grip but doesn't need a lot of heat to get going. I've found my RS's to be pretty damn good on a skid pan

I would have loved to have been involved in this but i have work tomorrow and the car's still off the road. Hopefully next time. I so want to drive that back bit of track :D.

Im not racing at all :(

I did 1.40 and came 5th :)

well last time i came 14th with a 31 with stock motor and suspension and locked diff.

only the diff is the same, so bring it on!! hahaha

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
