Corvette School
I just came back from the Ron Fellows Corvette performance driving school. For new owners of a 2014-2016 C7, General Motors pays for 3/4 of the cost, and I gotta say it was worth every penny. For those owners unaware, it's a 2 day program outside of Vegas. They match you to your car version. Not only did I learn how to handle my car at high speeds, they taught me many things I had no idea about on my Corvette. It's 2 thumbs up from me!

I assume the $1000 includes pretty much everything except transportation and meals?. 2 nights, right?

Includes a lot
It includes one nights lodging (the second night was $120 for a huge studio) or you can get a very low cost room in town. All meals were included except dinner. I bought dinner they provided for $9.
I have my final lap on YouTube plus many of the sessions. It was amazing the first day you're timid, but by day 2 you're flying. It really teaches you how to accelerate quickly and how amazing the brakes can stop you on a dime. In one exercise to teach you to trust and watch your perifial vision, they block the windshield. Controlled spins on wet pavement was amazing.
My final lap is here and my channel has other sessions. I want to go back soon!

I believe that you will find that the track was designed to give students almost all of the turns and challenges they will see at any other track in the country. Enjoy!

I'll be there Monday and Tuesday and can't wait, especially since every review that I've seen says nothing but good things about the whole experience!
