Skidpan Day

[slip]

Ok guys, we need to have a discussion about the next possible skidpan day.

First things first. 16 people, full day, $150 each.

We do the skidpan as per usual for half the day, but then the LVMA for the other half. Let me give you an idea of the LVMA. Its basically a 100m x 100m bitumen area. It has witches hats on it, and little things that let water out. We do brake tests, slaloms, timed track runs. You get to go all out, the only thing you are worried about is putting in the quickest time you can. There will be points kept, with overall positions at the end of the LVMA.

The usual instructors will be there, and its a full day of going mental in a legal environment. Instructors are very good drivers who also egg you on (tony).

Its not hard on your car. The skidpan is covered in diesel and water and is easy on revs, temperature, tyres etc. LVMA is also easy on the car. Makes your car dirty though. If you are worried about that, dont come. If you want to go mental, or bet better at driving, come on down.

I have been to a full day session with Performance Forums, and 2 half day skidpans which I have organised.

Guys, talk to me about the price, the event, questions about instructors or possible damage, and who really wants to come. It will proabably be in feb or march on a Sunday.

Sorry Slip

My brother (RX7) and

me !

I would be interested, but hopefully by then I'll have sold my car. $150 is a bit of money, but I guess it is worth it. I guess it will depend.

When does money etc, need to be in by? Also for the skidpan day, would there be people demopstrating/instructing on drift etc?

Thanks for all the hard work oorganising Slip ,keep it up mate!

[slip]

ill demonstrate

as i said in the original post there are at least 3 instructors, who are all there to get your drifting ability, confidence, speed, and car control as good as they can by the end of the day. most people just take the instructors for a quick ride, then the instructor might drive their car to show them how its done in their first session. after that you can just go by yourself (or drift with 4 passengers like i have to sometimes as people like GARY pile in) and learn as you go. Very relaxed atmosphere. $150 is worth it, trust me.

[BelGarion]

after feb ill be in, im a little short cash wise atm

sounds like a shitload of fun, a chance to learn to drive better... which id say i could probably use

edit :- im assuming the hardest thing ur gonna hit is the cones? and gettin my car dirty, well it does that with normal driving :S damn dirt driveway

[slip]

cones and maybe some dirt or grass. bah.

[Guest Boxhead]

dirt and grass.... nothing i havent been through before hahaha
