Skid Pan/driver Training

[Sportivo_65]

Hi Folks, I've initiated this event on TOCAU and twincam and thought I'd see ift there was any interest here too while I'm at it. I noticed a thread on here from earlier this month that seemed to not go anywhere so figured it would be ok to post this here. Not meaning to steal anyones thunder, just thought I'd let you guys in on the fun too if you wanted.

 

I just wanted to get a 'show of hands' so to speak on who would be interested in attending a Skid Pan/Driver Training Day.

 

I would need to confirm dates and costs with the venue/training provider of course.

 

So, right now I'm thinking about organising it so we can go to the Mt Cotton Driver Training but I also know there's one at Gympie. Not sure what the general opinion is of driving that far though.

 

But before I do anything I'd need to know how many people are actually keen to be involved, but I've been to one at the Gympie skid pan day before and the participants paid about $100 each. I've just looked on a couple of websites and for an individual to go independantly through a training provider you'd be looking at $200. But I'm sure if we had a big enough group the price wouldn't be that high.

 

So, let me know if your interested and then when I've got minimum of 15 people I'll make some calls. I know 15 sounds like a lot but with these events usually the best group size is 10 (for price and comfort on the day etc). And also taking into account dates and prices might not suit all after they are confirmed and some will pull out, I figure 15's a good number to aim for to get the ball rolling.

 

Cheers,

Julez

 

PS - If I've forgotten anything or if anyone has any other ideas etc please make a mention as I don't bite. Just thought it was something different and fun we could all get involved in!!

I've kinda be stopped in my tracks regarding this hey. I was hoping to get some prices from both the Mt Cotton centre and the Gympie centre and make some decisions with the help of you all from there.

 

But I've contacted 'Road Craft' a number of times now and haven't heard a thing back, and the last time their website was updated was 2005. So either I'm not contacted the right place or they aren't doing it anymore :-(

 

Which means, its really only the Mt Cotton centre thats an option, but my concern is the noise restrictions.

 

I shall contact Mt Cotton again and check some dates etc, post up some more info, and I'll try and contact Road Craft again.

 

Thats the plan for now, if anyone has any other way to contact Gympie please let me know.
