Paid. I need to remember to get myself the CTP rally extension.

Here's the general spiel that Aaron sends off to people that was emailed to me through someone at work yesterday:

"Throughout the skid pan day I run a variety of fast paced, educational and challenging activities that make for an action packed and fun filled day.
The morning session is spent sliding around several different tracks marked out on the skid pan. Drivers go out on the skidpan in pairs for 4 min sessions.
This is a great time for drivers to get a 'feel' for the car. It allows drivers to test how much grip the vehicle possesses
and to explore the limits of the driver in a safe and controlled environment.
Below are a few clips to give you an idea of how it works.

I supply a BBQ lunch and soft drinks which is included in the price for driver and co-pilot.
After lunch we do the following driving games:

Go-to-whoa: Great way to test the raw power and braking of a vehicle!
A pair of cars line up, one on either side of the bitumen track. A whistle is sounded and the race is ON!

Shoot out: 2 cars line up on the skid pan to complete a tight little circuit. This really tests both the driver and vehicle.
Again, whistle is sounded, and watch the machines flex their muscles.

Time Trial:
I utilize the entire bitumen circuit for the time trial. A short track is created, and the stop watch is pulled out.
Drivers take their turn to run the time trial and see what they can do.
This trial adds a little speed, tight cornering, braking and requires a smooth driver!
Time trial normally takes about 1min per driver. If time is available, the trial will be run twice!

Details:
All participating drivers require an open drivers license.
All cars entering on the day will need a CTP extension. This is not difficult to obtain but must be obtained from your insurer at least 24 hours before the event, Monday-Friday, during business hours. This covers death to any person in the event of a fatal accident. Any vehicle or property damage is NOT covered by me or my insurance.

Payments:
Attached is the payment info. When you make a payment, please use your name and skid date in the reference section.
Eg: "David Brown 11/10/13"
Attached is the usual paperwork.

CTP Extension: Needs to be gained during business hours.
Ring your insurance provider for your vehicle registration. CTP has NOTHING to do with car insurance.
Suncorp & AAMI are free, RACQ is $10

On the day, I will need a copy of your CTP extension, and a copy of your printed out and filled in Indemnity form.
Thanks
Aaron"

do you need ctp insurance or can you get the ctp rally extension on comprehensive insurance?and whos the best to use as looking at all options atm.

[Cadmoon]

CTP is part of your rego Ralph. If you have rego you have CTP, check your renewal/certificate to find out who is your current insurer and give them a call a couple of days before the event.

[gts032]

thanks for that,wife was confusing me,so the skidpad is looking more promising.

[Cadmoon]

Cool.

[MagicMikeZ32]

I will be about a week into fatherhood, so to say I am doubtful is an understatement.

[gts032]

the break from your new child would be a welcome relief.

[MagicMikeZ32]

Yeah I'm sure it would be. The minister of war and finance might have different ideas.

[gts032]

easy fixed,help out with everything around the house,make her feel really speacial and then when you want to go to skid pad,she will be happy to let you go since youve been such a good and helpful partner.sign,sealed,delivered.

[Cadmoon]

I need to give Aaron final numbers in the next few days so anyone wanting to come please confirm your attendance.

[gts032]

do you need to bring the indemity on the day or do you need to fill out and send it to skidpad as it says you need ctp extension number on form.

[Cadmoon]

Bring it on the day with your ctp rally extension.

[dopey]

If it is not to late i am up for it, just need to know how far in advance payment is needed as i just busted my motor so have spent current saving.

[gts032]

mike is there a minimum age limit or can my son come along whos 12

[sneakey pete]

Co-worker did it last weekend, his 10 year old son went along for passenger rides, so I think so. Would pay to confirm what the requirements are etc with the organizers however.

[Cadmoon]

Last time I went there were a couple of kids in baby seats riding with their dad so I'd say it's ok.

[Cadmoon]

Aaron's exact words were "Child is his responsibility, I'm not a babysitting service.

Child is fine to attend"
