Default Spring Mountain Driving School Discount

Welcome to Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. Home of Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School...the ONLY place in the nation where you can put in over 300 miles in C5 Z06, C6 Z51 AND C6 Z06 Corvettes!

Located approximately 50 miles west of Las Vegas, Nevada, the Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School uses our own SCCA approved road course for the Level One, Level Two and One Day group programs as well as our Corporate Team Building programs. In this highly recognized school, the student will drive only Corvettes (except during the skid car portion of the class) and log over 300 miles in the Level One program. Our Level Two program will build your skills further with even more intense exercises and nearly 300 miles of track time!

The Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School class will qualify as the first half of your SCCA Club Racing licensing requirements.

Corvette Forum members will receive a $150 discount on either our 3 Day Level 1 or 2 Day Level 2 program. Just ask for your discount using code #CF07

Did the 3 day in April and plan to return hopefully next spring for the 2 day advanced. A professional first class operation. Loved every minute of it

TTT from a big fan of driving schools...

It's a better investment than throwing thousands to make a car that you already can't drive as fast as it will go, even faster and harder to drive.

Sell the car, usually lose mod money. Driving school experience, you get to keep after the sale.

Great ticket preventer. A good trackday will get all that "need for speed" thing out of your system and keep you from driving like a rectal muscle on the street for a while.

And of course it's great FUN.

I was there this past April as well. The experience paid for itself this past monday/Tuesday. I took my car for a HPDE at Watkins Glen, last session of the last day, I went into a turn coming out of the top of the boot, didn't let the car track out, and rolled into the throttle a little too early. Well the car did 2-360's, all 4 tires into the grass, spinning. Here's where the training kicked in, clutch in/brake in, hands were at 9&3/ so I always knew where I was, didn't over-react, just rode it out, came to a full stop, got my bearings back, went back into gear, pulled in to the pits, got the okay, went right back out. My car has only bolt-ons, no real power adders. Spring Mountain not only proved to me that a stock car is capable of a lot, it also proved the training saved my azz as I stopped about 4ft from the wall.
