When I had my Vericom, I would just use a big parking lot in the middle of the night to test G's

the skidpad #'s the magazine's use is actually a fixed diameter oval timed for ET, something like 100' in diameter or so, you can calculate the skidpad directly from the ET on such an oval.

get a big parking lot and try not to hit the light poles
