Who got the invitation from Ron Fellows Performance Driving School?

Not for the same price ($1000) as GM supplements this event heavily. I just signed up my wife and they are running a winter special till 12/31 so her addition was $2200 but we also got a second nights stay (about $120-150 value) I think her addition without the winter special would have been $2400 so with the extra night and discount saved about $350. While $2200 is still a lot of money I look at it as I would have spent that on myself for a different two day school but now my wife can join. I just hope she isn't faster on the track than I am!!!!
I know she is but I really hope she doesn't rub it in.

Sweet! I think I may do it.
Now you guys say spouses are full price; however they can attend class and do the ride along with inst.
Do you guys mean if I bring her along with me, she can take the class and do a ride along with an inst free of charge?
Also the link says that " Attendees are responsible for travel and accommodation costs." but then it says "and the program includes a 1-night stay in a track-side luxury condominium. Participants also have full access to Club Spring Mountain amenities." so which is it? Do I have to get lodging, or I get a room to stay for the night?
If anything, I can bring my wife with me and she can enjoy the amenities while I do the school. Since it's in NV, is it close to Vegas? Maybe she can go there while I'm in school. What are the hours for the 2 days?

You can always call for more info. But pretty much yes to all your questions. You can bring your wife but you will be responsible for any travel cost. You and the wife will stay at the condo overnight free. Additional night will be extra. While you attending school, she can do the instructor ride along, or enjoy the club house... Maybe even spend your money at Vegas strip. She can attend school but will be at regular price.
I think the school will be 8 to 4 or 5
I just signed up for class on jan 8 and 9.

I wanted to do 3 days class but due to my work schedule, sooner will work better and I got what was first available which is 2 days class. No biggie. Since the condo is not available for me, gm is putting me at the best western near by for two night which work out perfect.

I'll call and make sure when the time comes. Probably do it closer to end of 2015 or early 2016 (we have a baby on the way along with the corvette. I hope the Corvette comes 1st )

Great. I think she will enjoy being a passenger with an expert driver instead of doing the thing herself anyways. (She can't even drive a manual lol)

We'll make sure to do that. It can be between this or the buyer's tour which sounds really cool. I'm not sure if I'd be allowed to choose unless I do the "ask for forgiveness instead of permission" thing

I got my car Oct 17th at NCM - still no information on it.
Looking at maybe getting it scheduled though as I'd like to take advantage of the offer.
Whats the difference between the 2 and 3 day schedule?

I received delivery of my 2015 on 9/25 and I never received anything until I called to get information about the school. I haven't decided yet but if I do decide to go, it'll probable be in April or May.

I'm thinking about taking my dad to the school so that both of us can do it for his 60th birthday (my mom would love the ride along but would not want to drive). Any idea of what kind of extra insurance we would need to carry (if any) to protect ourselves from liability if anything happened. I would assume that the school's cars are completely insured; however, I've heard that drivers are liable for quite a few thousand in damages.

You can go directly to their website and sign up, name and VIN is all that is needed. $1000 for 2 day class.

What is the expense for the Ron Fellows Corvette driving school for new Z06 owners? I've sent an email, but haven't heard back yet and the dealer I bought my car from is clueless.
Thanks.
Thanks.
