Default Want to drive a new ZR1?

Want to drive a ZR1? Looking for a really exciting experience for you, or with friends or family? Want to test drive one before buying? Well now you don't have to buy a ZR1 to experience driving one! Spring Mountain is proud to make the ZR1 Corvette driving school available to everyone, to create the Ultimate ZR1 Driving Experience! We have 2 of our own ZR1s that we have made available for those out there who just want to drive the ZR1 on the track. Our curriculum is designed by Ron Fellows, who has 27 ALMS wins & is Corvette Racing’s most successful driver! In the course you will learn Braking, Car Control, Accident Avoidance, Skid techniques, Weight (Distribution) Transfer, Heel Toe Downshifting & more while driving for 2 days, approx 200 miles on our 2.2 mile track configuration in the Z06 & ZR1 Corvettes that we purchased! This class will make you a better, faster, & smoother driver in any car, & is an exhilarating blast! This is your opportunity to drive a ZR1 & see what the fuss is all about! Who knows, you may even be able to get instruction from Ron Fellows himself! He has been here for a few schools since last month & will be here for next week’s school.

The 2 day course is $2995, with an option for a 3rd day of exciting Open Lapping in the ZR1 for an additional $1200.

Call 800-391-6891 & ask for Melinda or Anthony to register today!

What if you already are a licenced race car driver and you just want to turn some laps in one?

I just booked with Anthony to attend this class.

Kill two birds with one stone. Gonna visit Vegas with my wife and have some fun. Last time we went it was in the Summer. Boy was that a bad idea. We thought we were used to heat b/cuz of living in South Florida. Nothing like the dry heat Vegas hit us with. We went out there for 5 days, but slept through the first 3 days. We were speaking to a waitress at a restaurant and she said we need to keep "very" hydrated or we will be very tired. My wife and I immediately looked at each other and started to laugh. Well that piece of valuable info allowed us to enjoy the final 2 days out there.

Here is a link to a great post about our ZR1 school from a student that recently attended. Please check it out! If any other students have stories, or comments they would like to post, please do!

In our ZR1 or Level 1 Corvette schools you are going to get about 80% driving time & 20% classroom time. The classroom time is primarily to give you & the car a break for a few minutes. After each track session, you will find that you need just a little bit to cool down & let your adrenaline settle a little. The car really is your classroom! We really aim to make the class an experience of a lifetime! For those of you who may not know, the ZR1 school is available to anyone. If you do not have the Chevy certificate, you can buy the 2 day ZR1 school for $2995, the 3rd day of open lapping is only $1200 additional for an un-paralleled amount of ZR1 seat time! Our 3 day Level 1 Corvette school gives you the opportunity to drive Z06s, Z51s, Coupes (Paddle shift auto. & standard), & our Callaway corvette (580 HP, supercharged, with suspension package, brakes, & racing seats, this car is great!). The 3 day Level 1 is $2995. Call 800-391-6891 ext 236 for details, questions, or to book today!
