Anyone been to Spring Mountain Driving School?
I was going to sign up for the November 3rd and 4th corvette run @ the spring moutain track. Just wanted to know if anyone has been out to the track they have and what they thought of it.

I did Spring Mountain to learn the limits of the car. Do it, you'll be glad you did.

Could not have said it better myself ... I have done a number of HPDE schools and feel that it has had the best "return-on-investment" of anything I've done with the car.
tprovost - You don't indicate where you live ... if you're in the Nevada/California area post a reply and I can point you to some other HPDE opportunities.

I went out there last spring with my brother and my dad, and it was worth every penny. The instructors are very good, and the track is a great one to learn on. It was an experience that none of us will never forget, and one that I plan to repeat as soon as my finances and schedule will allow.

Weird coincidence!, I work for the owner of the Spring Mountain track (not at the track but at his real estate web design co. in Anaheim Hills)...wish I could drive all the cars that he brings to work....lambo's, ferrari's, gt40's, etc etc 
I wonder what kind of deal I could get??
