Act Supra Club Skid/drift Day With Fifth Gear

[Teon]

Hi guys, this is now open to everyone.

Details:

When: Sunday the 29th of June

Where: Sutton Road driver training centre, (2 mins from Queanbeyan, 10mins from Canberra City Centre)

Time: 8:00am start, all day (we have the skid pan booked for 8 hours!)

Cost: $110 - this includes a BBQ lunch and drinks

We need a 50% deposit by the 26th of May to secure the track

Description:

We are set at 20 participants maximum.

The day will be run by Dereck from Fifth Gear Motorsports. For those of you who haven't met him, he is very friendly and a very good teacher. Throughout the day you will be free to go out on your own, or have Dereck come along to give you some pointers. No prior skill or experience is necessary, and Dereck will have you sliding in no time!

We will be out on the skid track, which is a short track with large run-offs, so there is very little chance of damage to your car. The track will be wet, so tyre wear is very minimal.

There will be two cars at a time on the track, spaced half a track apart. This means there is no risk of a collision.

The day will be structured as follows:

• In the morning there will be a 4 hour skid/drift session on the track
  
• We will break for a BBQ lunch
  
• Another 2 hours practice on the track
  
• Then we will set up a Motorkahna style competition
  
• Lastly we will present a few awards
  

Here are some videos from when I attended one of the public Skid/Drift days with Fifth Gear - you can get an idea of what's involved and what the track looks like.

And here is a link to the Fifth Gear website with some more information and a video

Everything is included in the cost, including lunch, drinks, track hire, Dereck's time, and trophies for the awards.

This is a great opportunity to have some legal, safe, fun in your car, and develop your skills.

Any questions feel free to contact me.

I'm interested. YPGM Teon. Will ring Derek if I don't hear from you tomorrow (since that's the deposit cutoff).

Hi,

I got your PM - I'll reply in a sec.... but the ACT Supra Club will be making a lump-sum payment to Derek, and there's a little extra included in the cost to cover the drinks/food/trophies, so it's best if you pay into the ACT Supra Club account - I'll get the detials for you ASAP. I gave you guys very late notice so don't wory so much about the cutoff.

Ok guys it's now full. There is a chance that a couple of us will drop out (including me if my car's not back on the road), so if anyone else is interested I'll put you on a reserve list.
