Miller Motorsports Park Gets Second SKIDCAR


Miller Motor Sports Park In Tooele, Utah received their second SKIDCAR this week.

The world-class driving programs at MMP, including The Mustang Boss Attack, high performance, racing courses, personalized driver coaching courses, manufacturer events, and their Teen Driver Safety Program, all use the SKIDCAR SYSTEM™ mounted to Ford vehicles equipped with modern Electronic Stability Controls that can be turned on and off.

Because of the incredible assets avaiable at MMP, the driving school operates many different combinations of courses at one time. Their first SKIDCAR (purchased 5 years ago) often needed to be used in several programs at once. The delivery of a second system will allow all the driver programs to effectively utilize the SKIDCARs to their full potential, as well as allowing MMP Driving Academy students full benefit of their training programs.

Dan McKeever, Director of the MMP Driving Academy, says the SKIDCAR is "one of the best tools we have for training drivers in the basics before they drive on the race course" or in any of their street driver training programs.
