HELP...Support Bragg-Smith Driving School
I'm asking for your support to retain the Bragg-Smith Driving School as the GM Corvette/Camaro driving school.
Rupert runs an excellent program, and is a great ambassador for GM and Corvette! It seems that one of the GM employees had their feathers ruffled, and now the affiliation w. the school is in doubt.
I'm asking that you review the LINK below..and if you so choose, sign the petition and make your remarks....

I agree, but the deal with Bondurant is done. I have no idea what kind of contract is in place, but I'd have to think it isn't easily reversed.

Re: HELP...Support Bragg-Smith Driving School (Skyguy^^)
I think that GM has the ability to support the Bondurant school as well as Bragg-Smith.
Does the lack of GM sponsorship have anything to do with the Spring Mountain (Bragg-Smith's) facility being up for sale? :confused:
I still haven't gotten back there for my Level II course! :reddevil :mad

Re: HELP...Support Bragg-Smith Driving School (Z06C5)
I'm sure that with the sales of Corvette's and Camaro's over the last few years, there's a strong enough base to support a School like Rupert's--in addition to what's out there, now...............and offers SO MUCH VALUE for the cost.....!
Why not let him retain the Corvette's and run the program as he has...I'm sure many previous customers would take additional courses, and recommend his program, 2.2 mile track, etc... :smash: :smash:

Re: HELP...Support Bragg-Smith Driving School (Z06C5)
The Bragg-Smith link is gone from the GM Corvette website. Justin Bell is the only school listed at this time. Bondurant has a press release posted with the details of a 4 year deal with GM to use the Corvette and Cadilac. 16 Coupes and 4 Z06s. They will have some minor mods unlike the stock fleet that Rupert was provided.
Strong egos on both sides probably caused the change. Coincidently, GM had Rupert carry the Olympic torch last year recognizing him for his contributions to the industry (press release is still on the GM website).
Where did you see the Spring Mountain Raceway for sale?
