Rick Bates Skid Pan Day - 21 June 08

[big.glenn]

As mentioned at the last couple of club meetings, a Skid Pan Day has been organised for the 21st June. Initial indictations was that we would fill the 18 spots available but the financial committment has been poor. Here is your chance to grab a spot.

The day will include:

- Theory on car control - the how's and why's;
- Causes of skidding and it happens;
- How to get out of a situation; and
- Have some fun using throttle control to control skids (not do doughnuts).

An overview of the course can be found at http://www.batesadvanceddriving.com/...arcontrol.html

There'll be two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. For the morning session, you will need to be at the Sutton Road complex no later than 7:45am. Those attending the afternoon session will need to be at the complex by 12:15pm.

Cost is $132.00 per person GST Inc. The registration form can be found at http://www.batesadvanceddriving.com/...entFormweb.doc. Final numbers are required by Monday 9 June at 6pm. Get your names in now, and arrange to have you registration form and money to Jim by the deadline. Don't hesitate to PM Marty (Pursuit250) or the committee (info@fpvxrclubact.com) for more information.
