EvilDaifu Cruise Whore Moderating Team 5,130 Member For: 19y 6m 7d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 08/07/10 10:52 AM Share Posted 08/07/10 10:52 AM (edited) Skidpan DayDATE: Saturday 18th September 2010 TIME: 2 x half-day course sessions - morning and afternoon.DESCRIPTION: This skidpan day is divided into 2 half-day course sessions - morning and afternoon - 6 drivers per half-day course session for a total of 12 drivers on the day. It is conducted by reknowned Melbourne driver training company Driver Dynamics. kevwrx is one of our members on this forum. Start each skidpan session with 6 drivers only (limited spots) for 4 hours. A Driver Dynamics instructor takes you around first-time showing how to do it with you riding shotgun. When you are comfortable to do it yourself - take your own XR around the skidpan by yourself turning your front wheels in topgear style Driver Dynamics skidpan training course gives drivers the opportunity to practice skid control skills in a safe, fun, low speed, and very slippery environment with a Driver Dynamics instructor.Conducted in metropolitan Melbourne, these half day courses are run over a four hour session with only 6 drivers on each course, so you'll get plenty of time driving on the skidpan. The cost for this course is only $140 per driver. Note that the Driver Dynamics skidpan training course is conducted with 100% recycled water so it's easier on your tyres Here's real-life footage of the one we ran in 2006 (alas it's not me in doing the excellent controlled skidding ) Driver Dynamics will need $50 deposit per driver to lock in one of the 6 spots for the half-day course sessions in the morning or afternoon. I did this last time in 2006 and it was mind spinning literally (mainly cos I aint the most natural skidpanner )Unfortunately to keep costs down for us and so Driver Dynamics don't have to employ crowd controllers and so on - only drivers can attend this. No spectators sorry - not even people in your car (I'm told they will asked to leave )RULES:1. Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines (no matter how safe you think it may be), etc...2. There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members.3. Use the Buddy system - always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn to make sure nobody gets lost.4. CB Radios - if you don't have one, follow the maps and directions given out. It is highly recommended to have CB as it enhances the enjoyment of the cruise being able to hear about road hazards and join in on the social chatter.5. Please turn up to the meeting points with a sufficient fuel in your tank and enough time before the departure time.6. Onus is on the owner/driver of their vehicle to ensure it is safe to drive on public roads and meets State road traffic authority laws.7. By attending this cruise you agree not to hold FordXR6Turbo.com, it's Administrators, Moderators, Cruise Controllers, or Owner responsible / liable for any damage and / or grief sustained (simply; you are responsible for your own actions).More details to come, so keep an eye on this first post But please post up here if you want to reserve your spot. You'll need to send me your deposits - I'll PM you my bank details and instructions. Pay the balance in cash on the day to Driver Dynamics. The BBQ is BYO food and drinks - once I know who is coming we can work out who would like to bring what to lighten the workload.MORNING LIST:1. bunna2. captain (bunna's mate)3. GR8XR64. Worm5. Jman6.
