Is this happening? I need some skidpan goodness.

Mr Starlet · Postby **Mr Starlet** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 1:12 pm

yes me too!!!.

I could help organising this. Should be free to make a few calls in a minute.
So we're in for Skidpan or LMVA or Both :shock:

? For those who haven't been Skidpan is where they spray a mix of diesel and water onto a semi-fixed figure 8 type circuit and you try to control the car...it's like learning to drive on ice :lol:

, for those abit more experienced it's low speed drifting.

LMVA is fun as well, I've only been once; three separate groups to rotate through three different activities...
1) a quick hill drive.
2) a wet motorkhana cloverleaf circuit (timed)
3) an oval dodge-em-cones circuit (timed)

Both are fairly safe, a great way to explore the limits in the wet in a controlled environment.

Skidpan is by far better than LVMA; and LVMA is awesome.

If someone will let me borrow their car; I'm in... :mrgreen:

Just got off the phone; they're sending me more info as this is my first time being involve. If we're keeping with tradition by making it a weekend affair then so far it's looking like the earliest available session is the morning session of Sat 27th-April...I'm thinking this might be too soon plus we would have just done trackday few day before. Next available session after this is the Sunday 25th-May, and then so forth.

Any preference to date and session?

Cheers
