Spring Mountain - Just do it
I just completed the 2 day course at Ron Fellows/Spring Mountain. If you are delaying/debating/equivocating - stop. Just sign up for the course. It is a terrific value at $1,000. Everything is first rate: the instruction, cars, facilities, food. I am amazed that my Chevy dealer never mentioned this additional benefit when I was buying my Vette. As a bonus, the scenery surrounding the facility is amazing. A terrific life experience.

Yep - - - just what he said.
I did Level 1 when I bought my C6 in '11, then did Level 2 in '12 and went back to Level 1 with my '14. The Stingray is sooooooo superior to the C6s we played with in '11 & '12 (even the GS and ZR-1 that we had the opportunity to drive).

It's a lot of fun and beating on someone else's car for the $1,000 is a great value indeed. Problem is now I really want to go back for more.

I bought my 2015 C7 off the dealer showroom floor last month and a couple of weeks ago Chevrolet actually sent me a welcome, with a "Corvette" leather glove compartment folder, a small Corvette design story book and the invitation to the Ron Fellows School -maybe something new?

I'm scheduled to be there late next week. 7/9-7/11. 1st Corvette, 1st performance driving course. So many great threads, comments, testimonials and recommendations about these guys, I can hardly wait. Only regret is that I didn't sign up soon enough to get the three-day course.
Hope to see other forum members there.

It's on my bucket list. Got a chance to ride with one of the Ron Fellows drivers at Bloomington Gold last week. Quite the experience.

I was very worried about the heat - it was up to 115 at points during the day. It was not an issue. The cars have AC (of course) and ventilated seats. I didn't hear anyone complaining about discomfort while driving. You are way, way too locked in on the driving experience to even notice.
