Default At Spring Mountain

I am at Spring Mountain staring out my condo window at a bunch of C7s tearing up the track. Can't wait until tomorrow!

BTW I did world class driving exotic car experience today on the way out here. Driving a Ferrari 458 and a Lamborghini LP570 among others though Red Rock Canyon was a blast, I would highly recommend!

Not really. It's only 55 and windy now. It's only going to be 64 today. Crazy for Las Vegas in May.

At lunch right now. It is unbelievable. If you haven't signed up do it. Great facility, great instructors and lots of track time. Best of all it's someone else's car!

a little more about my experience the last few days here:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...ng-school.html

Sorry for the diversion, I got a little excited explaining the experience in another thread. I am a little tired after taking the red eye home but wanted to share my experience. Bottom line, do it it's an experience you will never forget and will make you a better driver no matter how good you think you are - on the track and the road.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I am glad you had a real good time. Sometimes these schools will offer discounts if you are a repeat customer, put a deposit before end of dec for next year, or in the hot summer months. (thinking about your next time out there OP)
