let everyone know when and where the vids go up. cant wait for the next one, it was great to actually drive my car like it wants to be driven. slipping and sliding is great fun. i hit some cones too and they do no damage to even my flimsy fibreglass bar, so all the day cost is petrol, the fee and a bit of rubber :P

so there is no excuse for not going to the next one lol see you all there.

im hoping someone has a video of my first (and THE first) run of the day as i was all messed up on the skidpan but it was so much fun

I had a great time too.. I havent ever done any skid pan stuff - only track days where the aim is the keep it under control (ie. STRICTLY NO DRIFTING)! The skid pan was heaps of fun, although I found it too tempting to throw the car in for a drift instead of trying to get the best time possible - especially towards the end of the day. Im not sure how suited the timing system is to a wet skidpan style platform, in saying that though the idea of the day was to drive fast yet maintain control so I guess it makes sense... More self control needed next time!

I have some videos taken on video camera too. im just waiting to get a video capture card off a mate so that I can get the videos onto the PC.. YouTube might be a good place to put the videos - Hosting is free and the site is fast.

I've got videos of you Jeff doing both clover runs. Not any of the other runs you did though unfortunately. I've got a video or two of most other people as well so i'll post them up as soon as i've ripped it off the camera

lol i sucked at the clover though.. didnt like having someone in my car or at least wished he would stop talking. i dont know i know he wants to help but that doesnt really help. the best way to learn something like that is to do it wrong, then think about what happened and try again, not have someone treat you like a robot when half the stuff he is saying is what made you suck the first time..

ie: "the water is the braking point" = facing where i started. if he wants to give me advice he should drive my car first, instead of assuming its the same as everyoine else. mine is one of the cars that spins out heading into a roundabout at 10km/h. he also kept saying floor it but that again is the same thing, too much power so it just spins them up instead and i slide.

definitely liked doing everything but had more fun on the slalom side, that was fun. fast cornering and then some tight slides to come back... awesome

Jon,

very nice work :)

Yeah, true - sure it was for maximum control - quicker times etc but I couldnt help myself,

I was controlling my car in a powerslide way.... :P sure wasnt the style of driving for a quick time, but I had more fun :laugh: hahaha

I want to go sliding around again!

I had an absolute awesome time out there, and later in the week I'll be able to do the uploading of the photos that I have here that my mate took.

Have photos of everyones cars, in basically everyone single run, with only 1 blurry one!

Photos are HUGE too if people want them once they're up, let me know and I'll send large ones out.

And I'd just like to thank the whole crew that organised the day, it was an absolute great time, and I actually learnt HEAPS when I was out there.

I'll be in for the next one... Will definitely be coming up with a touch more rubber this time too...

Although grabbing the handbrake, plus first, at the same time, then ending it with dumping the clutch at full throttle to pull off a u-turn was hella fun! And knocked 1 second off my abysmally slow time... LOL

Bos was great when I went out with him, showed me where I was going wrong.

I'll be in for the next one, just one suggestion, can someone order the sun to be around 26 degrees not 36 degrees PLEASE!

i think we should have smaller groups, i know it will have to cost more, but smaller groups gives u more driving time. maybe they could incorporate some drifting training as well. not just about fastest one around. i ended up being boring and just trying to get the right lines. but at least i got one go of just stuffin around, spun it twice with my foot planted in second gear.....there was heaps of smoke...
