  3. Tony - The skidding you describe is the first step. You also need to make sure general preperation is good. Hoses wires secure etc. You also need a decent set of rear tyres, with tubes. Regarding first events then I would suggest either your local PCT or Class 0 in an MCC event. Neither should be to rough and should enable you to check the car out before going onto the rougher stuff.   You should also consider getting roller bearings in the diff and using synthetic oil. More details on Andrew Browns site in the technical section.   Michael
