Went down last Thursday, 1hr with it dry and 1hr with it wet. Had about 8 turns.

They setup a course around some cones and timed you, none of my times were worth taking.

Man it was slippery even when dry, everyone had a great time. Well worth $40

No one else wanted to book the day so I'm going to run an open day. Just going to run Open Pit and open skid pan with some cones to drive around (only one car on the pan at a time)

Should be a good day.

Safer that way

pssh, its pretty dangerous having purple cruise ships spinning out on the first lap of the day

Reckon Shady might come along to show you some moves?

Skidpan sounds like hella fun though, good way to practice controlling your car with no grip...

Some of you know me and I'm an old fart and the only sideway action I've had was in my younger days

in a Ford 10 Perfect and it didnt end well.

In the group on the day I attended there was a rally car driver a couple of race cars and a mixture of young and old.

I went hoping to learn something from getting my M3 sideways just in case it happened either on the road or at a track day. No one held a drift for any amount of time, it may have been we were all useless drivers or the pad is just to new I'm hoping the latter.

Thats the thing guys, it was that slippery the only way to control your car was to drive conservatively, I didnt and that's why I didnt post any times and dont change your street tyres to slicks for the session either.

You will have "hella fun"
