Woohoo! Skidpan / LVMA Full day.


Recommended Posts

:headspin:

Time : Late april, or may. Sunday.

Cost : TBA, under $200 (probably $170)

Venue : Mt Cotton Driver Training Centre

Availability : 16 spots.

Requirements : Current Open or Provisional licence, rego'ed and roadworthy car - no rusty shitboxes or super dodgy stuff.

What you get : Professional instructors helping you go fast and do big dirty slides. They are all hoons/racers. Safe legal environment in which you can go completely nuts. You WILL be a better driver after one of these days. Some of us have done 5 already. Buffet lunch.

Event.....

There are 3 sessions on the day.

1. Half day skidpan. Most people know the drill now, small track with water and diesel on it. Nothing to hit really, unless you close your eyes and drive into the other person on the track. Bugger all tyre wear. Develops slide control, being smooth, confidence and its just heaps of fun. Time trials at the end as well :(

2. Lunch. Good food, all paying participants get to sit down and have a feed of salads sandwiches meaty goods etc. It was a lot better than i thought it would be actually. (done it before)

3. LVMA (Large Vehicle Manouvering Area) Big flat square shaped area with slalom, brake test, and a track set out on it with cones. Wet and dry brake testing (teaches you how to pull up as quick as possible instead of just locking up and running into things). Slalom, with a bit of a difference as well. Cone track - the chance to go all out against the clock, and because its set out with cones, you can really go all out :)

For a bit of fun we are probably going to keep records of all times, skidpan, slalom, and lvma track, and have trophies for 1st 2nd and 3rd. Nothing serious, just for fun. Sponsor should be providing them so why not.

I need solid interest here guys.

so far.....

    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
