    A bunch of hoons in our local club hired a skid pad for 4 hours last week, to learn how good/bad their cars' brakes were. Some entertaining results. I rode shotgun in my buddy's AC Cobra replica, absolutely awesome grip and power. Great fun also in a whale of a Chevelle...handled like a sack of mashed potatoes, but what a hoot cheers Never been in a car doing so many continous 360's in my life. Took the A100 down for a laugh, and got some massive air....under the rears Twisted Evil Rolling Eyes

    This run was only about a 5" lift - we managed at least 8" on another run. I could see the tail lifting in the rear-view mirror... scary stuff, but oh sooo much fun.

    They told us it was 80% grip dry, and only about 20% wet (of the normal road conditions)

    Looks like a lot of fun but there is no way I would be out there in my A100 pickup lol! Too many things need replacing to be doing that in it Wink
    Plus the slant six just isnt up to moving it around with much rush.

    BTW, off topic, but I looked through your gallery pics, I like what you did with your pickup.
