Skid Pan Days

[Abo Bob]

Got this email from Aaron McGill the other day.

Skid pan days are a really great, fun, safe, not hard on your car kind of day. I would recommend anyone who has bought their Skyline in the last year or so and hasn't been to one to give it a go. It's the first thing I did and I learnt so much about the car.

Hi drivers,

To better serve you guys, our customers, we are constantly trying to bring you exciting new ways to enjoy your motoring. Please read this e-mail carefully and respond to it.

We have finalised negotiations with Eastern Creek to hire the Skid Pan from 5 pm until 9.00 pm on Friday nights during daylight saving.

Costs are the sticking point, as the venue must hire security, pay the EPA for a noise permit and have an ARDC staff member stay back.

The cost to you as drivers would be $139.00 inc GST.

We are prepared to book 8 dates over summer as long as you, our customers are wanting such an activity at that price.

IT'S YOUR CALL PEOPLE, DEMOCRACY AT WORK!!!!

Hmm.. what do u do on skid pan days? slide your car sideways?

[Blitz]

Adam, dates would be great. I have been hanging to send my girlfriend out on the skid pan in my GTS-T for a while.

[Tommyk]

Actually Nick, that sounds like a great idea. I think my girl would have fun (learning) drivcing my car around a skidpan

[Blitz]

I know of a number of others that have been waiting for an event like this at a reasonable cost

You wanted them so here they are, the first evening session over summer. 5.00 till 9.00 pm. A fantastic way to kick your weekend off. $135.00 per driver. Snacks on the night. Book early as these fill fast!

EASTERN CREEK TWIGHLIGHT SKID PAN SESSION - FRIDAY DEC 16

As above but one week later, you can't say we don't give you choice!

I know my gf absolutely loved it. It looks like we have some interest here so what say people post up if you are keen and I can organise a day just for us or we can try for a cheaper entry to one of the events posted above.

The idea is you are sliding around the wet and lfat concrete skid pan, some of the time trying not to slide and some of the time trying to slide with control. Earlier on you are learning how and when the car slides and later you push it harder to go fast within the limts of traction.

I nearly pulled of a 360 once but you can't get enough traction to get fast enough to get all the way round. It's very safe.

I'm interested... If I have my car back tomorrow I might stop by EC on Friday morning and see what it's like.

[flukey]

Sounds very interesting - was looking at the stage 1 and 2 course.. but this would be great to do instead or as well..

Would be great to have a night booked for SAU people.
