Default Any discount to add driver to Ron Fellows class???

Having just recently purchased a Z06, I'm thinking of taking advantage of the Ron Fellows driving course. I've raced plenty of motorsports, and have been on many, many tracks around the country, so it's really more of an excuse to go out to Vegas and have some fun than to learn how about braking points, apexes and racing lines.

But, the only way I'm pulling this off is if I bring the wife along. I'd also want her to drive so that she can learn those things.

Does anyone know what the cost is to add a second driver?

Thanks in advance.

There was a small discount last year, but not now. I understand she can follow the class for free, but to drive she'd be full retail tuition (whatever that is, close to $4K?).

Get confirmation of that before you rule it out, but I'm taking my brother instead because I couldn't get a discount on my wife, even if her name were on the title (it's not, but I asked). One per new car.

When I went in early 2015 it was full price to add my wife to the class, $2900.

Nope, not anymore apparently! Just checked today, no discount. Some online said there never was one, but clearly there was at some point.

The person I talked to said tires and gas were getting more expensive so they stopped offering the discount. I think the more likely explanation is that they're already full anyway, so why discount?

I think I talked to Donna, but not 100% sure. Would think getting out of a night of hotel, 2 for 1, helps keep the cost down.

Are the classes filled year round or just spring to fall?

I bet they'd give you a 10% discount as long as you tip at least $290 at the end of the course!
