Was AMAZING! Wish I had pictures or videos to show everyone. Got to drive 2007 Crown Vics to their full potential, and they have a lot of potential!!! We did high speed breaking w/ abs on and then threshold breaking to high speed accident avoidance, but by far the funnest thing I have ever done was the skid pan. They have laminated cement track that is coated with 2" of water, and slicks on the rear tires. It was amazing to drift the track and understand it all. Next week we do high speed cornering, P.I.T. maneuver and pursuits! I know boring post, but had to share the joy I had today with everyone! [ June 24, 2008, 12:28 AM: Message edited by: rgtrahn ]

It is a local agency in my area. I wish there was an area where the public could pay to drive in a skid pan, or learn defensive driving tactics. [ June 24, 2008, 12:25 AM: Message edited by: rgtrahn ]

Skid Pan more less, but the track we were on was much better!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=069qS28jYTM [ June 24, 2008, 12:24 AM: Message edited by: rgtrahn ]

Dude, take it from someone with some time in... you're doing too much. And no, you don't want the public learning how to do P.I.T. maneuvers. [ June 23, 2008, 09:11 PM: Message edited by: Hele On ]

That's funny. Those cars are dogs. Wish they brought back the old Chevys. Those cars hauled ballz. Just floated in a pursuit.
EVOC is fun.

Some of the 07 Crown Vic's have scary braking issues in turns I avoid driving them.
