With another driver training / skidpan day just 3 weeks before this, Im not sure how many people from AGT will go. Plus its quite close to the holidays.

There might be those that missed on the November one that will go to this.

All the best!

$120 is still massively cheap tho. Most driver ed. stuff is $150+ normally.

More questions arrise tho for me before handing over $$$...

Who is Dave?
How many cars per instructor?
Is it a proper skidpan? Or are they just hosing down the old driver ed. cermete and tarmac areas out the back?
$$$ include track time or not? #1 was a bit confusing on this subject.

Ta.

Dave = David Kneedham http://www.specialiseddriving.com.au/ - He currently instructs at Mt Cotton and is an ex Greg Hansford Trainer. He is our trainer for the day, plus I will be there as well.

yes its the Driver training center at the back of the circuit, we are wetting down the circular area and the square area, will probably do some dry braking stuff on the tarmac sections.

Does not include the big track.
We are looking at doing some big track stuff later, but this will obviously be more expensive

The day is about learning a bit about car control & having some fun.
Cheers Jeff

This would be great for those who have not been to a skid pan day before or for those from the northside not bothered to treck all the way to mount cotton. Yeah its more expensive but who cares, it the experienced knowledge you'll be recieving from Dave will be worth it. And just from chatting to him at the track days seems to have the cred to teach this stuff. And believe me these kinda days have given me the knowledge to get me out of some hairy situations. The way i see it $120= at extremes possibly saving your life on the roads (considering you take it in) while having fun in a controlled environment = WORTH IT!

Still a couple of spots left on the 19th if anybody is interested.
half a dozen of the people on the list haven't paid and aren't responding to emails, so their spots are now open to anybody else who wants to come.
Cheers Jeff
