Gympie Skid Pan & Performax Tour Weekend
Keith is beside himself planning an exciting weekend at the Gympie
Roadcraft Driver Education Centre Skidpan and a special tour of the
Performax Conversion Facility.
The Roadcraft facility boasts more than a flat acre of beautifully smooth
concrete that's fitted with water sprays so you can safely
experience a complete loss of control without the worries of
damaging your pride or pride 'n' joy!!!
We all know Performax as the leading Australian converter of LHD
vehicles and look forward to experiencing the opportunity of touring
through their state of the art facility and see how Corvettes,
Mustangs, Camaro's and a range of 'pick-up's' are prepared for
the Australian market.
Numbers will be strictly limited so be sure to contact Keith and
reserve your place.
This will be a sleep over weekend package likely to include costs
for the Roadcraft Centre, dinner, breakfast and accommodation -
details to be provided as soon as arrangements are finalised.
You are permitted to carry a passenger during the driving element of
the day so now you can really scare the better half...... this
alone may be worth the nominal cost of this rarely available
experience!
Pencil this date in your diary, it would be a shame to miss out on
this awesome weekend!
