CMP works for me! Breakfast and skid pads are probably two events that should be mutually exclusive anyways. I haven't got sideways in Calabogie since they closed the Whipple Tree bar.

I was watching PT and Foust in "Battle of the SuperCars" yesterday on Speed and they were in Tremblant having fun with Ferraris.
Bob, do you know if the skidpad they used in Tremblant was a temporay setup for the show or is it something that can be use by clubs?

We can set up a wet skid pad in the main paddock at CMP - but I don't know what to do with the 100+ cars that we usually park there!

It's a great setup, and very educational, but it only works if we have a small group that day, hard to make it work during a DE as there's lots of waiting around and we really do take the whole paddock. Big skid pad is in the works but is still a few years down the road.

Cheers,
Bruce

I once did the skip pad at Tremblant in a FF2000. Steve Wester was the teacher. He was quite fond of the skip pad.

So I was! That was quite cool!

Just in case you need more votes, putting my name on the Very interested list.
Turn 12 at Tremblant yesterday was my first encounter with the greener part of the track !! Later got some good pointers from Bob. Now need some practice and I'll be soon joining the "FLATOUT" run group

See, people listen. You asked for a skidpad...and now you have one!
P.S. Thanks Dwane for the compliment on my driving! I never saw this thread until today.
