HELLO CORVETTE FORUM!!
We just came on board here as supporting vendors and are excited to be associated with such a fantastic group of individuals!

We want to get to know you, answer questions if we can and I can always get one of the instructors in here to give you specifics on tire pressures or WHATEVER! ;And I'll keep you all informed of any specials for the school as well as let you know when our Corvette Track Days will be happening again, (February 26 & 27).

ALSO, My GM just told me to offer all Corvette Forum Members $500 off the Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School through the end of 2004!! We have the two new C6's in (see MY photo below) and he wants those seats filled, plus it's kind of like an introductory special as there a lot of people who don't associate us with Bragg-Smith, or even know the school is still up and running bigger and better than ever, with the same staff, curriculum and Z06 Corvettes (2004 models). So we want to just get our name out there and let you people know we're here!!

Looking forward to meeting you members! (I'm trying to insert our C-6 & Z06 photo into this post but, alas, I have not yet figured it out!)

So they are not in South Florida! They're not in Georgia either, but I attended in Dec 2002. Believe me, it's the best money you will EVER spend! It's a blast! The instructors are great and Trasi makes the experience unforgetable!! You will really appreciate your Z-o6 if you go. Besides, you can combine it with a side trip to Vegas and recoupe part of the cost...... Now if I can just get back for the Level 2 class. Trasi, does the discount apply to Level 2 also??

I attended the 3 day school in Sept of 03, and had a blast. It was expensive, but well worth it. It made me a better driver, and I find myself always using the heel/toe downshifting. It's second nature now, thanks to all the practice they put you through at the school. GM should be a supporter of these schools....after going through it, I went out and bought my first vette, a Z06

Trasi is out of town today, so thought that I would answer for her because I asked that same question - YES!!!! the discount applies to the Level 2 class also, but you had better sign up quick, cause there is only one Level 2 class left before the end of the year.

Absolutely nothing, on purpose so that it's exactly like GM made it. Tires pressures are the only difference really, rather than being set for street driving, they are changed for the track. 34 front, 32 rear.

Trasi: Welcome to Corvette Forum. If your GM would extend this offer through the 1st quarter of 2005 I know 6 people that would have a very merry Christmas! See you in March.

P.S. The last 2 of my group can't go so it's only 6 for sure coming.
