Spring Mountain Corvette Owners School - Day 1 Pics

Having a blast here at Spring Mountain! The temps are much nicer here than they were last July.

I'll post a review and more pics and such at a later time, but wanted to post a few pics from today for now.

The 2017 GS M7 that I'm driving while here at Spring Mountain.

Inside the Spring Mountain Corvette maintenance facility.

Prepping for the braking exercise.

The sun came out!

Z51 with optional wing spoiler that includes the wicker bill (new for 2017, see the related post with more photos).

Nice to see more photos from Spring Mountain. They bring back memories from my Oct. 2012 visit. Great track, cars and instructors.

Great pics! I am enjoying the school too! Now comes the big decision of whether or not to part with my 2010 ZR. Tough choice!

Thanks this looks like a lot of fun.

Hope to attend in December or January. Curious on how many people drive to the site. I'm planning to drive up from Tucson with wife in our GS once we book a date to attend.

I asked that question while there in October, the answer was typically around 10k miles. Then they are sold to DC Motors in So. Cal. These cars are well maintained, checked/maintained every day at Spring Mountain and would be a great used car for a great price.

Thanks for sharing the pics and experience. We bought a '15 and didn't go. Just purchased a GS that will be here in a couple of weeks and you've inspired me to book it.
