FAQ's and advise...
1:Remove ALL crap from your car that is not actually BOLTED to your car.. jacksr, sub boxes, junk, tool boxes, lose crap. They fly round and wreck stuff!
2: Check your tyre pressures. I recommend you pump the REAR tyre pressure to the MAX as indicated on the sidewall of that tyre. DONT use SPINNERS! Spinners unbalance the car...
3: You will need at least half a tank of fuel to go skidding for the day, depending on how thursty your car is and how heavy your foot is!
4: If your driving more than an hour to get to the skid pan, plan a rest somewhere on the way home, It may save your life.. its a long day!
5: Check ALL fluids, dont overfill ANYTHING.
6: Dont come skidding if your car has a mechincal issue, you may break your toy. ..and that sux!
7: If you want to get better at skidding, LISTEN to the instructor, he knows a few things!
8: If your a newbie.. thats cool. Dont worry if you dont get it all together the first skid day.. it takes time and practice! Just ask for help, and we will help you out.
9: You dont need a helmet, special licence or special tyres. Just bring your normal car as you normally drive it..
10: If you want to go skidding on another day, please email me and I'll see what I can do for you.
RULES
01: NEVER skid past or near a car or person! Dont skid when people are picking up cones. This is VERY bad, you will be sent straight home.
02: Do not spin tyres ANYWHERE but on the skid pan.
03: Drive off the skid pan slowly. Not sideways or spinning..!
04: Cool down laps on the black stuff are fine, consider other drivers, no overtaking, 40KM/h speed limit.
05: This is NOT drifting. Drifting involves tyre smoke and close car proximity. We dont do either. Stay apart.
06: All vehicles MUST have a full exhaust.. including mufflers. Sound limits do apply. (they are not overly tight)
07: Pick up your own cones in your skid go, not after your go.
08: Seatbelts must always be worn, keep all of your body INSIDE the vehicle at all times.
09: Only the nominated driver is permitted to drive.
10: Refrain from smoking near the shed and other cars.
11: No alcohol, drugs or HANGOVERS are permitted!
12: Your friends are your responsibility, They get asked to leave, so do you!
13: Dont break the rules, play nice or else you and your mates WILL be evicted.
14: OPEN license & rego required. You must produce it on the day.
Use your common sence, and everybody will have a great day!
