Default My Wife Is On Her Way To Spring Mountain Today

Bev's long awaited Spring Mtn experience begins later today. Will post pics as this story develops. She's in Las Vegas for the week with friends and family, but this is her main attraction!

Good for her. My wife is attending Oct. 11-12. She's dying to go. Let us know her thoughts on the course. My wife is nervous because she's never had any track experience. Afraid she's going to be "that girl" that held everyone up.

That is great, when she gets home she will be more than ready for that new GS you have.

Did it in June. Just came back from going there again last weekend, only this time I stopped by for some beers at the tiki bar. Wanna go back and do it again someday...

Bob,

Bev looks ready to go. Is she driving an A8 or manual transmission?

She chose the M7, but they did some with the A8 because we have both. I think she did the skid pad with the A8. I will confirm.

My wife did the class Jul 5-6. LOVED IT ! Got up to 114 on the PDR for that straight to turn 1.
Now I've got to go !! She stayed in the faster ( I guess more experienced ) group the whole time. I was REALLY PROUD of her as she lost vision in her right eye a couple of years ago and she felt that she would gain a lot more confidence going to Spring Mountain for this class.

That's great to hear! Bev tells me they speed things up in today's session. I have to go do this as well. Maybe next spring.👍

This sounds just great. So my next question, can a husband and wife both do the 2 day thing even if you only bought one Corvette? I mentioned this to my wife and she is kind of interested and certainly likes LV. I see that Chevy picks up $1500 of the $2500 cost which is most considerate of them. Program sounds perfect for a quick getaway. And Vegas, ahh what is not to like?

You can both do it, but only one gets the deal. You'll be paying $3500 for two.

$3500 for 2 sounds like a great deal. Beats flying to Hawaii and driving a rental car around, I promise you that.
