Excellent. I wish I done a skidpad day earlier.

I would recommend running as much air pressure in your rear tires as they are rated for. And lowering your front air pressure to 30psi. With a lower horsepower car, it's a lot easier that way. It will also give you lots of experience losing and catching the rear end. I found a small clutch kick was the quickest way to start a slide. I found it really helpful to drive a figure 8 course as fast as possible and practice controlling the rear like I was on a road course.

Also, Thunderhill has tire shop that can change tires if you have one fall apart on the skidpad. Bring a couple spare drift tires, so one chunked tire doesn't end your day.
