John Emerson asked about driving schools featuring wet skid pads.
Bertil Roos has a school out at Pocono.  One of the features is a fleet of
specially modified "skid cars".  These have some sort of a wacky rear axle
arrangement where the axle can float sideways and has horizontal shock
absorbers on it.  You can drive the car on perfectly dry pavement and it is
just like driving on ice.  No need for water.. When the Del Val club went out
there, we got to try it--definitely rewards smooooth!  Anyway, he advertises
in the back of Autoweek, C&D, etc, or you could sign up to go in Sept with
DelVal.
