Good one guys, looks like you had a ball. Heljas, your tranny is obviously showing no signs of damage after the recent slip into reverse.

Anyways looks like good fun.

No fair! On all the "driver training" and skidpan days up here they water the hell out of the pan, so its pretty impossible to get any decent lateral G's and you get sent off and glared at if you even think about making smoke. So ghey.

Might have to make the trip down for the next one :P

Unless you have a very big powered V8 or turbo, or don't mind caning the crap outta your N/A I6, the partly watered component of our skid pan wasn't a good idea.

I'd prefer completely covered in water anyday ..

If I have a typhoon however ...

nope nothing evident

it was a blast

even when the track was dry the car just slid everywhere

you hardly heard any differant noises except the tyre squeel

haha the tyre squeel continued for about 20-30 ks after i left ie when i turned a corner in that time

i recomend doing it to every member well worth the $50 plus fuel and having to get up at 4 am
