About Us Paragraph One Photo Dane & Lisa

SKIDCAR SYSTEM INC specializes in consulting for high-value Driver and Rider Training Technologies, and is proud to still be the only manufacturer-approved SKIDCAR SYSTEM expert consulting provider for North America since 1990.

About Us Paragraph Two Dane Training & Family

Cedergrens Mechanical developed the SKIDCAR SYSTEM equipment and entered the market as the most effective driving training technology ever created. Even with today’s modern vehicle and technology advancements, that hasn’t changed. Other programs attempt to simulate experiences to develop a driver’s motor skills, but they are missing that legit, seat-of-the-pants feeling in the pit of your stomach when things go wrong and your car is going dangerously fast, sideways. SKIDCAR gives you reality, learning, and safety in a way that no other driver training tool can.

Plus, we’re always on the lookout for incredible new tech to take your training program even further, as efficiently as possible, for both your trainees and your budget. Check out the other contracted technologies we represent, here: Automated Traffic Scenario Simulator (ATSS) by Blacktop Bootcamp and the Virtual SKIDCAR Trainer Simulation System, powered by RealDrive from VR Motion.

President Skidcar System, Inc

Dane started motor racing in 1971. Through 2002 he accumulated an impressive list of race victories, lap records, and driver championships, including International competitions. His driver instructor career began in 1976, teaching advanced motoring and racing classes and broadening his experience with the opening of his own school, Pitarresi ProDrive. This school would grow to include students from professional, private, law enforcement, protective services, and municipal instructor backgrounds, and provide curriculum training elements for each.

From 1990 to the present, Dane’s focus has been consulting in the delivery and use of the SKIDCAR SYSTEM and other driver training technologies listed above. His extensive background in the effective use, recommended curriculum, and mechanics of the SKIDCAR SYSTEM and “It’s about Grip, not Slip” philosophy for SKIDCAR use, remains relevant to new users and seasoned customers alike.
