Next Cruise?? Advanced Driver Training Course

mr-charisma · Post by **mr-charisma** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 12:40 pm

Ok, Is anyone else interested in taking an Advanced Driver Training course?

I will be doing this fairly soon, but if there is enough interest in it, I can put it off for a couple of weeks for people to save some $$ otherwise I'll be booking myself in for it ASAP

I need a show of interest & some numbers before Monday the 8th October. If you are interested, please add your name, level of interest, time needed to save some $$,

Just some info;
Location: Mt Cotton Driver Training Centre www.sdt.com.au
Requirements: To be in on the Advanced Driver training you need to either be;
Over 21 or;
Already completed the Safe Driver Driver Training course
FAQ & Other Info: http://www.sdt.com.au/ADVANCED.htm
PRICING:
Mt. Cotton Training Centre, Brisbane (QLD)

Session One: Advanced Accident Avoidance
$121 per person (inc. GST)

Session Two: Skid Pan Experience
$121 per person (inc. GST)

Total for Full day
$242 per person (inc. GST)

Everyone should really go & do the Advanced Driving training / Safe driver training & I should have done this a looong time ago.

It should be a good lead up to some track days / skid pan / drifting cruises etc... not to mention a fun day out.

RallyMad - Definate - next year some time as am currently unemployed and have a lot going on this christmas

On a side note I think this will also reduce your insurance premium with some companies, can't hurt to tell them and see what they say.

No set date yet ... just trying to gauge interest ... if there are a few people wanting to do it then I don't mind putting it off for a bit longer if people need to save some $$ / get time off work or have other plans ... after Monday the 8th I'll try & work out an approx date ... I would assume probably no more than 1 month away?

Couldn't be a courier ...or a taxi driver ... or a bus driver.. I sincerely doubt that any of those people have ever done a safe driving course..

I think we would be lucky to get 10 FTO's .. but if we do need the numbers we could always get some non-FTO's (not holdens or fords though

lol)
have you done the skid pan days before?

sure have!
Ill just pretend HOT4's are comming and everyone will show up? it worked last time

Im sure i could get a lot of people interested to the point of that we could have in excess of 25+ cars....which will again be cheaper for you to get out there and "FWD wet Drift"

I spose we could always have one of our own Photographers take some pics & we could write up an article ourselves & submit it to Fast Fours, Hot4's, street machines or whatever other magazines we decide to submit it to ... we have a few FTO photographers now

And then we could decide what the articles about, boast about how good the handling is in the FTO etc...

How many cars do they normally have out there at one time?

We really shouldn't need to have a magazine shoot every cruise to get members to come along though ... at least something like this should have pretty huge appeal on its own...

I think you're right about it just being a skid pan day though - I will go and do the Advanced Car Control one or whatever it is next weekend probably, and just get it over & done with ... then I'm open for a Skid Pan day whenever

I'll give them a call & find out the details today - what days they're holding the courses etc...

& you might already know some of this stuff;
Do you need to have done the Advanced Car Control course before you do the Skid Pan?
Are people going to be better off to do the other courses before they do the skid pan?
I assume helmets etc are supplied?

Don't laugh, last time I was talking to someone from the skid pan program the fastest car around was a Integra type R, in skidpans I think the front wheels clawing for grip can make for far faster speeds.

I would have thought it was only one car on the pan at a time Michael?
