Default Just finished Ron Fellows Spring Mountian course

Wow...what a first class corvette owners class that teaches you how to really open up your C7. What a huve difference and a must do for any owner.

I was scheduled for the same class until I broke my left wrist in freak fall on 5/13. I'm rescheduling for late August. We decided to still fly into Vegas and enjoy the Bellagio for some R&R instead. I'm looking forward to August when hopefully I can shift a M7.

I am thinking of doing this class (also want to do Bondurant)

What order should I do them in? Any suggestions? Not to hijack the thread. I'm envious TC! I can't wait to go

Spring Mountain first. It is an intro level class for novices.

There were 12 in the class, a couple of husband/wife both driving, a couple of husband/wife, husband driving and one husband/wife, wife driving. Wives/husband got to ride with instructor as much as they wanted. Non-drivers could attend all classroom stuff.

Going Aug 29th. Glad you had a good time! Several friends have attended, and feedback always super positive.

Bet you're still smiling.

That's nice to know. It's just her enrolled in this class. I will stay home (family obligations). I will go in 2017 (we just ordered a new Grand Sport).

Those instructors really made a difference helping us better understand our cars. Agree that it is a must for new C7 owners. It was great meeting you and hope our paths cross again. Let me know if you are going to be in Phoenix.

It was a great time and very professionally run. Incredible what these cars are capable of.

My wife was thrilled with the treatment and really enjoyed the ride-alongs. I guess the tower provided a great vantage point for them to view the on-track activities.

There were about 20 of us. Kind of surprised how many Z06's there were.

I'll check with her when she gets back. I know she took photos, but I'm guessing they were mostly of me. Did you get a chance to review the videos from your PDR?

Yeah, they are awesome. The overlays are great. Just disappointed how slow it looks like I'm going in the video though. Glad the speed is on there!
