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?

I bought my car off the lot back in May and haven't seen anything. Does the invite go to all new owners or just those that did an order?

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.

You both should call Ron fellows school and provide your vin to see if you are eligible. The name when you purchased your car will be the name they use to associate you to your car vin during registration.

There is always chance the mail got lost.

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.

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)

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 )

Make sure you go to the website or call them to check for the availability and register when you are sure the days you wanna do it. It filled up quick. At least in my case.

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.

Second half of day two and anything past that will be an all time thrill I assure you. I'm still riding the high! It is a MUST for C7 owners.

I didn't wait for an invite. Purchased my 2015 in November and signed up yesterday (April 30-May1).

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.
