Default Skidpad Days with RP Skidpad

Are you ready to drive in slippery circles?

We've got two skidpad dates coming up at the Shenandoah skidpad at Summit Point on April 28th and 29th. Both are all day events that include breakfast and lunch.

Direct links to MSR registration pages:

Friday, April 28th: http://msreg.com/RPSkidpad042823

Saturday, April 29th: http://msreg.com/RPSkidpad042923

If you need to telework on Friday, we have access to both classrooms at Shenandoah. While we use one for the food/chowing down, you're welcome to use the other to set up computers/workstations. Outlets are located in multiple areas within that classroom with tables and chairs.

For those who may not be familiar with RP Skidpad, it is a new private company run by a couple PCAPotomac members. Gary and Tessa have been around for a long time and have a lot of driving experience.

This is very tempting. Would I be out of place showing up in a 914? Would love to get a little more practice time learning its handling limits.

Skidpad is absolutely a perfect fit for your 914. We had one out a couple of months ago as well as a Ford F150 Raptor R.

The entire reason to practice skidpad. "No more spinning like a top".

Tessa and I had a handful of drivers at the first "rain" DE that swore our program saved them each at least once or twice.

Full day skidpad is one week away. We have 4 slots left for April 28 and 5 left for April 29. The events fill up last minute with average waitlist of 5 drivers per event.

Our Friday and Saturday Skidpad days can accept a few more drivers. We had a cancellation and can accommodate if interested. Register online preferred or walk up on Friday and pay on-site.
