Default Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School

If any of you have been thinking about attending any sort of driving school, I would HIGHLY suggest you attend the Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School, and attend ASAP!!! (I can't wait to go back for level 2!)

I just returned from the 3 day level 1 course, I never knew a Corvette ZO6 was so capable! We also drove C6's as well, I still prefer the ZO6, it just sounds so awesome racing around a track!

I had a ton of fun and learned a whole lot more! I am still amazed at the amount of time we spent in the cars on the track (it will take me years to log that kind of time in my own car!), this is the ultimate in hands on instruction and learning. The instructors are beyond great, not only are they amazing drivers, but they really know how to teach, they don't miss a thing.

All the equipment (cars and facilities) were top notch! We had a little rain (maybe a lot actually the first 2 days ) but they had a track dryer, and we learned some good driving skills in the rain, I considered it a bonus!

You will leave 3 days later will a greater appreciation for your Corvette as well as with a new set of driving skills. Can't beat becoming a better, safer and faster driver!

I'm still smiling from the hot laps yesterday with the instuctors, WOW!





Spring Mountain just rocks!

You may not be able to write it off for tax puposes but some insurances will give a discount for taking these courses!!!

Did the 3 day school last year
The part I was most impressed with was how the instructors could drive Camaros with bad tires and talk on the radio while looking in the mirror to see how we doing behind them AND still have to slow down so we could keep up.


BTW
I'm sure that someone has deducted driving school. I know an attorney that refers to his tax return as his "opening offer".

I agree, they are amazing! They take the worn out tires from the Vettes and put them on the Camaros! They can drive the course faster than the students and look in their mirrors and tell you to get your hand off the shifter and that you missed your apex by 2 feet!
