Capevettes and I are headed out to Spring Mountain for the March 20th and 21st session.

Very excited about the training and meeting Forum Members there.

If you are attending, please post to the thread above on the C7 General Discussion.

Trying to get a single consolidated list.

Thanks

You'll love it! I got to go last year. Excellent experience.

As has already been said, you will love it. My wife and I drove there for two days last June and had a great time.

I have been racing for 40 years and never had quite the experience that I had last year at Spring Mountain. I came in first in my class and my wife came in 5th overall out of ten people.

Great instructors and great fun !!!!

Should be fun Ralph. I'm really looking forward to it. My wife is more excited about Vegas and the winery than the track.

Que? When did they start having races or ranking students?

MRHTRD

They don't but if you pay attention to the running order.... there are two groups, faster and slower. They generally put the fastest students at the beginning of each group. So maybe it isn't fair to say we were ranked in that sense, but we both ran first in our groups consistently.

In any case it was a great deal of fun... make sure you drink plenty of water. It was 115 degrees when we were there and water was our best friend. One person didn't and they had to drop out due to heat exhaustion. A lot of $$$$ to spend and not finish or have a good time.

We and the cars should be ok in March. Average high temps run around 68 degrees. Pretty good time of year to go.

Weird, were they not running the AC in the car? It was around 112F when I was there, and it got oppressive when the AC kicked off, but otherwise was manageable.

Hottest times were really standing outside waiting for the water skidpad and watching the launch control demos. Otherwise you're either in the air conditioned building or the air conditioned car, at least in my experience.

MRHTRD

You are right, we had the ac running the whole time, but some people just could not handle the heat in general I guess. Anyway, we did as was suggested and drank a ton of water and had no issues. Great time !!!

I'm going the end of June. Can't wait. For those that have been, do the Vettes run on runflat tires? Trying to settle an argument about RF vs non-RF on the Jaguar forum. My F Type does not have RF tires and I wish it did. One member says performance cars shouldn't have RF tires. I disagree for street use only. Thanks.
